In Charlotte, the thermostat reached 104 on Saturday—not
only a record for June 30
th, but a tie for the warmest temperature
ever. When the mercury hovers that
high, you need a summer read that gives you the chills, and Linda Lovely’s
No
Wake Zone is just what the weatherman ordered.
In the sequel to
Dear Killer, Linda’s feisty heroine,
Marley Clark (don’t you just love that name?) is again finding bodies with
alarming regularity. In this novel,
Marley’s problems start when a billionaire plunges into the water from a
double-decker boat captained by her cousin.
Our heroine dives into the deliciously chilly water, only to find the
founder of a biotech empire already doing the dead man’s float and her plans
for a simple family reunion in hot water.
Marley's lifesaving effort not only leaves her
clothes soggy, her unsuccessful rescue provides ammunition for a dastardly
villain who implies Marley might have given the billionaire a little push. Our heroine’s problems multiple when the
widow turns out to be an old college pal—and suspect number one.
If you’re looking for a murder mystery with a twist, Ms.
Lovely doesn’t disappoint. Her killer
commits a series of exotic murders, pulling the reader into a fascinating—and
downright scary—world of biotech engineering.
As she attempts to save her friend, Marley becomes a target—hunted both
by the villain and a sexy lawyer.
No Wake Zone is the second mystery featuring Marley
Clark, a fifty-two-year-old Army intelligence officer. To quote the trailer… “No Wake Zone
dishes up heart-pounding suspense with a generous side of romance.” You can quote me, this novel is this
summer’s must read.

Wow! Thanks so much for this review. I need to put it on my website. I have so much fun writing these Marley Clark mysteries. Hoorah for "mature" heroines. We should get to have some of the fun.
Sounds like a great read! And right when I'm reading mostly mysteries again.
Good review!
Well done review, Robin and great book, Linda. Happy 4th of July, everyone!
Sounds great. Definitely on my TBR list.
Love the review - makes me want to get out and buy the book today! Thanks, Robin!
Terrific review, Robin and Linda. I've got to get to Fiction Addiction and buy my copy!
Wonderful review, Linda! Your protag sounds like a great character. I've added this series to my TBRR list.
It's one of my favorite series but Linda needs to write faster! Two books aren't enough for this fan.
That's a great review!
