Under Jackson Bridge: A thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Susan Specht Oram’s “Under Jackson Bridge” centers around Irena Fishbone, a determined single mom who is driven by a sense of justice and a need for closure. When her ex-husband, who owes her ten years of child support, goes missing during a shipboard celebration, Irena’s world is turned upside down.
One of the standout aspects of this novel is its well-developed protagonist. Irena is a relatable and likable character who is easy to root for. Her determination and resilience are inspiring, and her emotional journey is both authentic and heart-wrenching.
The writing is also noteworthy. Oram’s prose is engaging and descriptive, painting a vivid picture of the small-town setting and the characters that inhabit it. The pacing is well-balanced, with moments of high tension and suspense expertly woven throughout the narrative.
The plot is complex and layered, with multiple threads that come together to create a surprising and satisfying conclusion.
