My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Under Jackson Bridge by Susan Specht Oram is book one in the Beyond the Bridge series. Going boating is usually a fun trip with friends. But unfortunately when Irena and her friends go, it just turns into a disaster. Though she maintains a decent yet complicated relationship with her ex, he owes her several years of child support and she just wishes he’d grow up and get a job. When during this outing, Jack falls overboard after a bought of arrogance, Irene is concerned. Things seem to not add up and everything just seems off. The story was filled with twists and turns on every page as well as speculation on what happens to Jack. I found that the story could have used more character development as we see mostly Irene’s point of view. But it was griping and I enjoyed it. I’d love to read more by this author!

Irena and several close friends, including her ex-husband Jack, go out on a shipboard celebration. Things seems to be going okay but her ex doesn’t want to follow directions and wear a lifejacket. A rouge wave hits and the two of them are swept overboard. Irena makes it back aboard but her ex doesn’t. No amount of searching has brought about any signs of Jack. She is determined to find her daughters father but she is finding more questions than answers. Will Jack turn up alive or did he perish in those choppy waters? I haven’t read anything by this author before so I was hesitant to try this out. This genre is also not something I would normally choose, but the synopsis drew me in. I’m glad I took the leap because I found a good book that kept me on the edge of the seat.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is probably my favorite from this author so far! This is a fast-paced, suspenseful read with many unexpected surprises along the way. The storyline picks up right away and keeps you turning the pages to the end. We find ourselves following longtime group of friends and a child with intertwined relationships on boat for a day trip when two go overboard and only one comes back—but the story that unfolds quickly becomes way more complicated!

I really enjoyed the pace and development of the story. The author developed the characters well and I found them to be mostly relatable—I really enjoyed the depth of the character of Irena in particular. I’m looking forward to the next one!

I have read several books by this author over the past year, and I keep coming back to their books over and over again. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this entire story! I wasn’t a fan of one of the characters in the very beginning, but I believe they’re supposed to be unlikeable, so mission accomplished. The way this author subtly sucks you into their story is astonishing! I thought I would pick it up and read a few pages before bed, but the next thing I knew it was 4am. Completely hooked. The twists and turns of this puzzling thriller will have you doubting yourself and every single character within these pages. It was unbelievably easy to slip into each character’s mind with the multiple points of view. If you enjoy psychological thrillers that keep you guessing, this should be the next book you pick up without hesitation!

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!

Under Jackson Bridge by Susan Specht Oram. This psychological thriller is so good. I’ve found my new thriller author that I will now pick up without second glance! This is the story of Irena who is a single mom of a teenager, Kelly, who has a dead beat dad. Irena has worked so hard and built herself a business working on boat engines and has become pretty successful. When Irena, Kelly, Irena’s boyfriend Buzz and her ex, Jack end up going for a boat ride together Irena has a bad feeling about it. They are on a strict time line because Kelly has a dance class and when Irena and Jack get into an argument because Jack won’t wear his life jacket they are accidentally thrown overboard. Irena of course had her life jacket on and gets back on board but Jack is no where to be found. When they begin the search for Jack immediately they don’t find any sign of him. Even the next day all they find are questions. While Irena is determined to find her ex for Kelly’s sake she is also afraid from all the stuff she is finding out. This thriller will keep you guessing til the very end. Such a great read!

When people from high school remain friends into adulthood, there is bound to be tension. When their long-time high school friend Craig decides to take everyone out on his boat to celebrate no one know the events that will follow will change the lives of so many people. The boat hits a rogue wave and Jack goes overboard. All would be fine, except for the fact he refused to wear his life jacket and is now missing, but when you look closely not everything is as it seems. A great read with lots of twists and turns. What would you do if you could escape it all?

This is the second book that I have read from this author. I can’t put it down, I am having some issues with Jack (the ex-husband of Irena). You see this man owes money for child support and has a lot of debt. Instead of watching how he spends his money he wastes it buying shoes. High price shoes that is. Anyways, Irena, Jack, Kelly (their daughter), Buzz and Craig on decide to go out on a boat ride. Everyone knows that they need to wear a life jacket but Jack refuses to. There is a big wave coming and it knocks Jack and Irena out of the boat in the cold water. Irena was pulled back into the boat because she was wearing the life jacket however Jack wasn’t as lucky. There is so much more to this then what meets the eye.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So these people have been friends since high school and are still friends into adulthood so when one of them , Craig , gets promoted they go on a boat trip to celebrate …but it soon turns to disaster

What baffled me is the issues they have with each other as we get a glimpse into their feelings on the way to said trip it feels like they’ve outgrown each other but are holding for whatever reason 🤷‍♀️

So irena married her high school sweetheart but divorced him due to his sneaker fetish and collection and I must agree it’s crazy and he goes t even wear them 🙈🤷‍♀️ anyhoo her current boyfriend Buzz is slso part of their friend circle but he seems a little unstable and obsessed to me but again only the reader sees that side but I must admit I appreciate the good relationship she maintains with her ex , Jack and they have their daughter Kelly to think of and he’s behind on maintenance ….

Irena knows more than most when it comes to boats and it seems her instincts with people aren’t to bad either and she knows something is off with her friend group but she just can’t put her finger on it ….but what I can tell you Jack made me feel he was up to something from the start …

Craig insists everyone wear life jackets and rightly so but Jack has to be difficult and refuse , I mean come in just put it on !! Then a wave hits , sone go overboard , sone come back and sone don’t , the search is on and things come to surface 🙈let’s just say I felt very disillusioned on behalf of some folk and expect the unexpected in this read 😉

When I started reading this I felt like putting it down , not because of the writing style but the people irked me but I’m glad I pushed through because I was rewarded at the end with a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read 😉

Irena Fishbone has a nice comfortable life. She has a wonderful daughter. She gets along with her ex-husband. She has a good boyfriend and a good group of friends. She doesn’t see her life derailing and is shocked when her life goes off track. While on a boat together, her ex-husband goes overboard and goes missing. Irena then spends all her time out searching for him, only to discover that things don’t add up. She keeps finding clues that make her question everything. I loved the twists and turns the story takes, especially at the end. I struggled a bit with rating this book. Some parts were so good. The writing style keeps me engaged and wanting to finish the book quickly. But some parts were unbelievable. Overall, I enjoyed the book and looked forward to finishing it!

Welcome back to Millersville! Under Jackson Bridge is another excellently paced thriller by Susan Specht Oram. A boating trip with old high school friends turns into a scary situation when Jack falls overboard without a life jacket. Irena Fishbone, Jack’s ex-wife (and friend), will not rest until she finds out what happened to him. I enjoyed Irena due to her motherly love for her daughter, Kelly, and that she does her passion for a living (saving stranded boaters). All the characters are fleshed out, so they feel as if they exist. If you have read other books in the Millersville series some familiar characters return such as Violet, Karina, Bets, and Zerk. The pacing of this thriller is perfect! The big reveal at the end is worth the read alone.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Irena goes on a boat to celebrate the promotion of one of their friends. Joined with her is ex-husband Jack, their daughter Kelly, and Irena’s new boyfriend Buzz. What started as a celebration quickly turned sour when things were tense between the whole lot of them. Jack was in a sour mood and refused to listen to the boat rules or appear to even care. The water turns choppy quickly and Jack refuses to join them in the cabin. Irena goes out to at least make him wear a life jacket and instead the duo go overboard. Irena makes it back to the boat but there is no sign of Jack anywhere.

Irena makes it her mission to find her ex dead or alive for the sake of their daughter and for closure. She searches the waters, his apartment and everywhere in between and does not come up empty handed. Unfortunately all clues are pointing at something more secretive than Irena imagined. She learns that not all is as it seems and everyone has secrets. She doesn’t know who to trust anymore. Even Buzz is starting to show red flags. Irena has to get to the bottom of Jack’s disappearance if she wants to get closure for her and her daughter whether it be good or bad.

I really wanted to enjoy this book. The plot has potential but I couldn’t really get into it because it was very repetitive and the characters were dull in my opinion. None of the characters had much of a personality other than a glimpse here and there making it hard for me to connect to anyone. The story was written mostly in Irena’s POV but every so often you got another character’s POV to see their side of things more clearly.

I thoroughly enjoyed this small town psychological thriller which had me hooked from page one. Single Mum to a teenage daughter Irena Fishbone is owed ten years of child support by her ex-husband, Jack. Having built up a thriving business which she now runs along with repairing boat engines and her daughter she leads a hectic life. Both Irena, her new boyfriend and Jack are invited to a celebration onboard a ship with a group of their high school friends. Being his usual stubborn self Jack refuses to wear his life jacket infuriating Irena. When they are both swept overboard by a rogue wave and swept away only Irene returns to the boat. Whilst the Coast Guard scours the sea Irena organises her own search party. With Jack still missing Irena becomes suspicious when she discovers damning financial records, furtive friends and obscure messages along with a web of lies. This was a gripping page turner of a read with an intriguing storyline and lots of plot twists. The suspense really built chapter by chapter and I felt fully immersed in the story as the characters and the setting were brought to life through the descriptive narrative.

I am becoming more and more a fan of Susan Specht Oram! I’ve read a few of her books and have not been disappointed yet!

This is a fast paced thriller involving single mom Irena. She’s been waiting forever on her ex-husband to make amends on back child support. He can’t help but keep buying shoes though! When the two exes end up on a boat together, they both go overboard and only one returns.

This is full of twists and turns, most of which you don’t see coming! This held my interest so much that I had a hard time putting it down! I’m looking forward to what’s coming next by this author!

Things start going a little haywire in Irena’s life when her ex-husband falls overboard on a boat trip they were taking with friends. As Irena searches for Jack, the information she finds is not adding up. Jack was in mega debt. He was supposedly running a scam with a friend, Craig. Irena’s boyfriend, Buzz, is not who she thought he was.

As the web of lies starts unraveling, it looks more and more like Jack disappeared on purpose. But maybe not for the reasons everyone thinks. Maybe Jack is one of the good guys after all.

Find yourself wrapped up in this Millersville mystery. It is worth the read.

Under Jackson Bridge by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Jessie Hopkins

Holy Cow, Susan has done it again. I had the hardest time putting this book down. If it weren’t for other life commitments, I would have read it in one sitting.

I was so invested in Kelly finding out what happened to her dad, Jack, and cheering her on as she stood up to her Mom, Irena, and her Mom’s boyfriend, Buzz, when they would try to hide things from her. She had a few moments where she did act her age, but through the majority of the book she really showed how mature and wise beyond her years that she really was.
Irena and Kelly really deal with a group of men that think that they are females that need to be protected and sheltered from things, however they ontinue to show how strong they both are.

After 3 books, I am absolutely invested in Millersville and want to read more about every person that lives in the town.

I love that this is a spinoff of one of my favorite series. If you’re looking for a good suspenseful thriller, Under Jackson Bridge is great. It’s a great beginning to a new series. Any book I’ve read by this author series or not reads extremely well as a standalone novel. Trust me when I say if you haven’t read this author before, once you do you’ll want more.
Irena and Jack share a daughter and a group of friends despite being divorced. Though their marriage didn’t work they still remained good friends. A group of friends that were going to celebrate a mutual friend’s promotion on his boat. It was meant to be a great celebration and turned into a tragedy.
Jack was acting strangely yet was still there for his friends. He was in trouble and decided to do something about it. Yet he didn’t let anyone into what was going on. Though right before the accident happened he let his Irena know he owes someone a lot of money, a bad investment. Next thing they knew they were tossed overboard and Jack was gone. But is he really?
While Irena and her daughter enlist plenty of people to try and find Jack. They begin to unravel a dangerous second life Jack was living. Putting them in danger.
Will they find Jack alive?
Will Irena and Kelly be able to stay safe?
This author keeps you on the edge of your seat. Keeps the reader turning the page. And I personally can’t wait for more!

Under Jackson Bridge has suspense right from the beginning, and kept me hooked. I have read other books by this author, and liked most of them. I think this was her best one yet, and look forward to the next book. The ending was not what I expected! I am glad that the author kept things under wrap until the end. While I did have some suspicions, I didn’t figure it all out. I really want to know more about how Craig was involved and see what happens to Jack’s shoe collection. Hopefully the 2nd book in the series wraps all that up.

Under Jackson Bridge is Book 1 in the newest series Beyond the Bridge…and I was already intrigued by the cover of the book and curious what Susan Specht Oram had in store for my reading pleasure. Right from the beginning I was hook as a simple boat outing with a circle of friends leads to two people going overboard and one ends up missing. The amount of intrigue, suspicion, deception, mystery with twists and turns….who can you trust when entangled in so many secrets.

Irena and her group of close friends go out on a boat ride for celebration which includes her exhusband, Jack. When stubborn behavior leads Jack overboard on a rogue wave along with Irena …. what is left is Irena trying to put together the pieces when Jack continues to be missing and the search is on…especially thinking of their daughter, Kelly. With shady details and so many questions… is Jack still alive….or no…

This is a great thriller story and I highly recommend this book to any lover of fast paced suspense thrillers!! Well done!!

I was excited to come across Under Jackson Bridge in the kindle store because I’ve read books by Susan Specht Oram in the best and really enjoyed them. I really enjoyed this book overall, though there were some things toward the beginning of the storyline that made me a little judgy. Things so insignificant now that I’ve finished the book, I couldn’t list them… except for Jack and his shoes! While there were times that I felt the storyline was a little slow to pick up, I loved that by the time I got to the end of a chapter, I was left in suspense and needed to read “just one more”. Each of the main characters made me suspicious and I never quite warmed up to them but the writing and twists of the storyline make it absolutely worth the ride. I am honestly excited that the author is releasing this as a series and look forward to seeing what book number two is like!

This book is the first in a new series and is a well written and intriguing thriller. It was clear that not everything was as it seemed and I loved watching how the plot unfolded. There were many twists and turns throughout the book, all of which keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.
Having become familiar with this author through another one of her series I was looking forward to seeing what this one had to offer. If this first book is anything to go by, I expect this one will be even better!
