Book Review: Deadrise

Deadrise, a thriller by Robert Blake Whitehill, is Book #1 in The Ben Blackshaw Series. If you love a Tom Clancy kind of novel, then you will love this series.

We meet Ben underwater - clamming in the Chesapeake Bay near Smith Island. However, instead of finding clams, he finds a sunken boat, 19 boxes of gold bouillon, a dirty bomb, and his dead father - a man he hasn't seen in 15 years. His clamming partner, Knocker Ellis, isn't as surprised as he should be, nor are the other inhabitants of the island. When Maynard Chalk learns his deal has gone sour, and that Ben's father is to blame, he comes to the island to get his money and the bomb - but Ben has other plans.

I loved Robert's characters, and especially loved that Smith Island with all her quirky inhabitants was as much of a characters as Ben.

If you love a good thriller with all the twists and turns, and great characters, then you will want to read Deadrise.
