Marie Belanger doesn’t know anything about what her Navy Lieutenant husband, Pierre, does when he serves his country, but she is dreaming of a stateside posting and starting a family. But when the Navy dependents are shipped out ahead of their spouses, Marie plans on visiting their families in Maine.

When Marie’s seatmate on the flight to the states, a woman Marie barely knows, is murdered, Marie is horrified that someone seems to be stalking her. Is it the murderer, hoping to silence Marie for witnessing the murder? Or does the flashdrive that somehow ended up in Marie’s purse have something to do with the pursuit? All Marie knows is that she is being forced to flee for her life.

Pierre is horrified to learn that his wife never arrived in Maine—and that she never even boarded the connecting flight. When a friend contacts him saying that Marie is in danger and is headed to the police, Pierre arranges to follow Marie’s path and hope they find her before the bad guys do. Yet hard as he tries, he is always one step behind their enemy, who is just one step behind Marie.

FINDING MARIE is the sequel to Frasier Island, but FINDING MARIE easily stands alone. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and tried to figure out how her enemies always seemed to know exactly where she was and where she was going. I hoped she’d be able to find her way home, or her husband would find her before the bad guys did.

The faith message is expertly woven into FINDING MARIE and the characters are realistic. I don’t have any complaints about this high action book. It grabbed my attention on page one and held it all the way through. FINDING MARIE is an excellent book. Don’t miss this one. $13.99. 392 pages.
