The Secret That Killed You by Steve Hadden
3.0
Amelia Garcia is an former Air Force pilot who has been recently honorably discharged. Now she is working for her family’s oil business as a ROV. During an underwater expedition she discovers a mysterious box with a Nazi symbol engraved on the top. When Amelia reaches out to her uncle to find answers about this mysterious box he soon ends up murdered in his home. What does the box contain that is worth murdering for? Amelia needs to uncover what secrets lie within the box and she knows just the person that can help, Ike Rossi.
Ike Rossi is still reeling from his parent’s deaths when he was younger and recent losses. He sees a connection with Amelia by way of her loss and grief, and vows to help her find answers that he was not allowed. Soon they both realize that they have a modern equivalent to Pandora’s Box and must protect it until they find out who it was meant for. Could there be a connection to Hitler, to Amelia or will more die before they can break the code?
Overall rating 3/5
Starting off with an fascinating concept the beginning seemed to be redundant on Rossi’s past and making a connection with Amelia. I was hopeful that the intensity that the story line deserved would pick up while reading the car chasing scene. However, I felt that the more interesting and high intensity parts were briefly skipped over and led back into more self reflecting of the characters. I would have loved to have been in those daring situations a bit longer and less down time.
