Water Grave

The Detective Abbey Rhodes Mysteries, Book 1

By: Mitchell S. Karnes

Narrated by: Jamie Gann

Six years ago, Hannah Leah Abelard needed a fresh start. She changed her name to Abbey Rhodes and enlisted in the United States Army as a part of the "Ever Vigilant," 18th Military Police Brigade. They taught her how to be a great cop. Abbey moved to Tennessee three years later and joined Metro Nashville's Police Department.

Now, in her third month with Homicide, Abbey is thrust into a case that may bring the walls she built crashing down around her, exposing a dark past she thought she'd left behind. A young pastor is found dead in the bottom of his baptistery and Abbey is forced to investigate the one place she swore never to return—the church. The case takes Abbey deeper into a tangled web of lies and secrets where the most dangerous ones may be her own.

All the twists

This was a hard book to turn off to go to bed. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Not to be missed. Just saw the next book is available. Plan to buy it also😊

Intense

Loved so much about this book—the characters, settings, dialogs, whole storyline, ….more than anything, though, the reality and truths of the background stories—bringing to light past hurts, mental illness, family dynamics, relationships, etc. that every person who reads Watergrave can have a connection in some way. There will be parts of this book I will certainly not forget! Thank you! Looking forward to Mitchell’s next book!
