3 out of 5 stars
DEEPER THAN RED is the third book in the Red Returning
series by Sue Duffy. Though this installment
went a little slower, and was a little more difficult to get in to, I’m glad I
stuck with it because the ride was worth the wait.
Liesl Bower had hopes that espionage, assassinations, and
diabolical plots were behind her. But
once again, she and Max Morozov are right in the middle of an international plot
with explosive proportions. Not the
likely life for a pianist and violinist, but here they are again, trying to
figure why they are still targeted by a man that is supposedly dead.
Tally Greyson will do whatever necessary to get her mother
out of the clutches of Vandoren, a man steep in mind control and the
occult. When she finds an unexpected ally,
Tally feels she has a chance. But when
even stranger happenings draw the interest of the FBI to the medium community,
she realizes her mother is in even more danger than first thought.
DEEPER THAN RED is so intricately woven together, you have
to pay attention to every sigh and every silent glance. Liesl and Cade are wonderful together. And the secondary characters of Henry, Ian,
Max, and Evgeny, add layers to an already multi-layered conspiracy. I did find the beginning difficult to get
into, and with so many characters, especially with Russian names, it made it
hard to keep all the characters straight.
But once the story gained momentum it was easy to stay in the rhythm of
the story. I’m not usually drawn to
political dramas, but DEEPER THAN RED had the right amount of romance, edge,
and twists to keep me interested.
