Do you enjoy reading novels that will take you on a swift moving ride through twists and turns, a novel that doesn’t want to leave your hands, a novel that basically has the pages turn themselves? Okay, this is that novel. River of Possibilities is a very interesting and unrelenting read. Here is the synopsis:
” Elizabeth Cunningham watched her parents applaud and smile as she graduated college. Two months later she watched their caskets being lowered into the ground. She is left to wonder - why had their new car plunged into a ravine? Why had her father recently updated his will, adding a strange postscript that directed her to move to the city? The codicil includes a note saying she... More > would, "find the truth". Liz discovers nothing she was certain of is true. Her family was not the strong, loyal unit she thought she knew. Both of her best friends have been hiding things from her. Dirty politics, the CIA, and giant corporate interests could end her dreams and put her life and the lives of her friends and family in danger. Worst of all, her parents' deaths may not have been an accident. Her beliefs will be assaulted when she has an encounter with a ghost, a mysterious Tarot reading, and discovers her father's connections to the paranormal. “
I have to admit I did not go into this with eyes wide open, I was a bit on the tired side, and this was like a jolt of java that was turbo charged. I really got into Lawrence’s narrative and heroine. The dialogue was crisp; the action and story twisted and morphed into places I didn’t anticipate, and that made it all the more enjoyable for me. River of Possibilities really made an impression on me and I am glad I had the chance to give it a go. Personally I am hoping that she takes this character and makes series out of it. I am willing to be a follower and enjoy the possible future adventures; it is that strong a story and plotline. The title is very appropriate; there is a River of Possibilities for this character and her development. Take the journey and enjoy the ride with Elizabeth Cunningham and Marti Lawrence, the possibilities are endless.

Nothing about this book was what I expected. The mystery surrounding her parent's death was far from straightforward and simple. Everyone around her had secrets, but you actually enjoy finding them out. The characters are likeable (or hateable, in their turn LOL), if a bit thin, and the plot keeps you guessing. Read it in two days. Would have been less if life didn't keep intruding!

"A Unique Twist to an Old Plot" This book snared me and kept me reading until the very last page. While the CIA and dirty politics concept isn't new, Marti handled it well, giving the plot plenty of twists and turns that will keep the reader guessing as to whodunit. The paranormal aspects gave this mystery a unique flavor, revealing some very painful aspects of Liz's family. Highly recommended.
