Review: The Bridge to Belle Island by Julie Klassen


About the book:
After a humiliating mistake, lawyer Benjamin Booker resolves to never again trust a beautiful woman. When an old friend is killed, the senior partner isn't satisfied with Bow Street's efforts and asks Benjamin to investigate. Evidence takes him to a remote island on the Thames, a world unto itself, shrouded in mist and mystery. Soon Ben finds himself falling for the main suspect--a woman who claims not to have left the island in ten years. But is he a fool to believe her?

On Belle Island, Isabelle Wilder feels safe and leads a productive life, but fear keeps her trapped there. When Mr. Booker arrives with news of her trustee's murder in London, Isabelle is stunned. She has not left the island, yet she has a recurring dream about the man's death. Or is it a memory?

When a second person dies and the evidence shockingly points to her, Isabelle doesn't know whom to trust: the attractive lawyer or the admirer and friends who assemble on Belle Island, each with grudges against the victim. Can she even trust her own mind? While they search for the truth, secrets come to light and danger comes calling.

My thoughts:
The Bridge to Belle Island was a great read! I was surprised to see that it was a murder mystery! Loved that! It was so much fun to try and figure out who killed him.

I loved the characters. I wasn't sure how I felt about Rose or her fiance, but I liked Benjamin and Isabelle right away. 

All in all, The Bridge to Belle Island was such a good story and I recommend it to fans of this genre.
