Synopsis:

WHEN IT'S TERRORIST vs. HURRICANE ... EVERYBODY LOSES!

It's July 5th, and the Cape Cod roadways are clogged with tourists heading home from the holiday weekend and trying to outrun an approaching potentially catastrophic hurricane. But in the blink of an eye, their lives are thrown into chaos when terrorists bring down the bridges to the Cape. Instantly, a half million terrified people have no way to escape. And when the terrorists threaten to release anthrax on the captive population if their demands aren't met, fear turns to all-out panic.

With time running out, Marcus Baldwin, a private investigator and former CIA operative, and Sara Cross, a disgraced ex-homicide detective, are brought together by a sole clue to the identities of the terrorists. They quickly realize that they may be the only ones with even a chance at stopping the plot before it's too late.

With Category 4 Hurricane Chad barreling up the coast on a path for a direct hit on Cape Cod, it becomes frighteningly clear to everyone trapped on what has now become an island--one way or another they are probably all going to die.

Review:

An entertaining intense action thriller!

Deadly Shores is a fast-paced suspenseful thriller that involves a terrorist plot to put a very large number of people at risk of death on Cape Cod.  With a tremendous amount of planning and plotting, the terrorist has everything planned down to the littlest detail with scenarios for anything possible that could go wrong. However, it was not possible to foresee the violent hurricane or the phones going down on the island.  

Deadly Shores was an intriguing and well-written story.  There were many twists and turns that formed a believable plot. There was a lot of action and suspense with just a little romance to keep my interest piqued. While this story is centered on a terrorist attack, there are many subplots which add depth: deadly hurricane, theft, and personal relationships.  This author really knows how to build up the suspense and keep your attention to the very end.  The characters were well developed and engaging. Andrew did a good job of intertwining the different characters throughout.

Greg Hernandez did a good job with the narration. He had a clear and crisp voice that was easy to follow. There was not much difference between his female and male voices but I liked that he didn’t try to do a false high voice for the female. I personally would have liked to see a little more inflection at the heightened points in the story however this doesn’t take away from the listening experience.

This is the first book that I have read by Andrew Cunningham and will certainly not be my last. I was not disappointed at all. I recommend Deadly Shores to anyone that enjoys reading mystery/suspense/thriller that will keep you entertained all the way to the end while keeping you sitting on the edge of your seat.
