Book Review: "Beneath Devil's Bridge" By Loreth Anne White



Allow me a second to give a well deserved applause to Loreth Anne White for creating a very well written piece.

Beneath Devil's Bridge was captivating beyond words.

It was riveting, enthralling, suspenseful, and deeply enjoyable while keeping me glued to every page like a madwoman.

Wow!

I didn't know what direction to turn, if I should run or hide, and whether or not I should simply take notes or just immerse myself in every emotion and get lost within the pure pleasures of this thriller.

Holy smokes this was smokin' hot!

It starts with this true podcast about the murder Beneath Devil's Bridge some two decades ago pertaining to the murder of teen student Leena Rai via the guidance counselor and family man Clayton Jay Pelley.

Everyone it seems has a story to tell including Clayton who professes his side via this podcast in prison to Trinity Scott who has personal involvement into this case.

Twin Falls will never be the same after the shocking truth is revealed neither will Rachel Walczak the former detective who put him behind bars.

It seems Clayton isn't the only one with secrets in Twin Falls. Not by a long shot.
In fact, it seems that those in professions valued for helping others to heal may be behind many of the current issues.

There's many twisted/dark topics that are triggering and disturbing such as sexual assault, bullying, as well as the original autopsy results that are extremely horrific and brutal.
Be it known that not everyone is telling the truth and some characters are even implicated in assisting the assault and murder of this young lady.

Cover up crimes in addition to the murder are on full display such as the burning of a residence and an entire family being locked in harm's way. Luckily, all but one survived.
It's an explosive read that will have you asking yourself who committed a crime so horrific as this one and why.

In the end, there's a fallout over safety and a possible suicidal mission in play.
This was one in which it left me pondering the situation long after I finished reading.

Thank you to Loreth Ann White, the pub, Goodreads giveaway and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
