Under Jackson Bridge by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Under Jackson Bridge: A thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Under Jackson Bridge is the First Book in the Beyond the Bridge Series. It is a psychological thriller full of drama, action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, deception, secrets, and lies. The story centers around the complicated relationship between Irena, her ex-husband Jack, and her new boyfriend, Buzz. Even though they are divorced, Irena and Jack still talk pretty much everyday which irritates Buzz. When the trio is invited on a celebratory cruise with some close high school friends, things take an unexpected turn. A rogue wave tosses them overboard and Irena is rescued but Jack seems to have vanished without a trace. As the search ensues for Jack a tangled web of deception and lies start to unravel. This was another gripping read by this author that was full of twists and turns. The characters were intriguing and not always what they seemed to be on the surface. Irena is one tough cookie who is used to doing things on her own and not relying on others. Buzz comes across as a bit creepy as he eavesdrops on Irena’s conversations and his love for Irena seemed to a bit more of an obsession. Jack clearly has a past full of secrets that are probably best left undiscovered. Looking forward to the next book in this series!
