Deep Waters

Written by Jayne Ann Krentz

Narrated by Stephanie Diaz

Charity Truitt and Elias Winter, two of the Pacific Northwest’s most powerful corporate figures, are both facing crises of career and the heart. Fate has brought them together in Washington’s tiny Whispering Waters Cove, each eager to downsize and simplify. They’re both determined to avoid mergers of any kind—but when they meet, the attraction is nothing short of blue-chip. And they definitely have at least one thing in common: A martial arts master, Elias is a novice at relationships; a formidable former CEO, Charity is starting in the mail room when it comes to love. But when the town is rocked by two shocking murders, Charity and Elias realize that they must join forces to catch a killer. Because behind the town’s sleepy façade run currents fed by treacherous secrets and Deep Waters.

Reviews for Deep Waters

[tealadytoo · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a great light and amusing romantic suspense tale, with an enigmatic philosophy obsessed hero (think Caine from "Kung Fu" but better looking) and a take-charge full steam ahead bookstore owner heroine. Opposites attract, and there is lots of witty banter, a bad tempered-parrot named "Crazy Otis", a spaceship cult waiting to be taken to the heavens, some family drama and a couple of murders just to keep things interesting. It's all good, fast-paced fun.

pretty good romance / thriller with both main characters working through personal emotional issues before they are ready to admit to love. Love the parrot and the quirky stores on the pier.

A bad case of corporate burnout and a too-large fiance sends Charity Truitt fleeing from her position as CEO of a successful hotel chain. She lands in tiny Whispering Waters Cove running a bookstore on rundown Crazy Otis Pier. And it isn't long before she has the bookstore - and the pier shop owners - organized to her liking.

Elias Winter devoted most of his life to an elaborate game of revenge - and then discovered that actually taking it wasn't worth the cost. Now he's the proud owner of a bad-tempered parrot and a curiosity shop.

Simple enough on the surface, but everything in Whispering Waters Cove isn't as it seems.

Read it for the parrot, "Heh, heh, heh."

not one of my favorites from Krentz; the hero was a little to strange with his weird philosophies; and the boring murder mystery; not enough tension between the characters; will not read again.
