Buried Too Deep

Buried Too Deep by Karen Rose is a masterfully crafted thriller that will grip you from the first page and refuse to let go. Set against the sultry backdrop of New Orleans, this instalment in the New Orleans series by the Sunday Times bestselling author promises a roller-coaster ride of emotions, intricately woven storylines, and pulse-pounding suspense.

Cora-Jane Winslow's life was shattered when her father abandoned her family 23 years ago. Her only connection to him over the years has been a series of letters. When his body is discovered in an abandoned building, Cora-Jane is horrified to learn that he has been dead for all that time. The burning questions now are: What happened to him? Who has been writing those letters? And why?

Meanwhile, Phin Bishop, a former member of the Burke Broussard Private Detective Agency, is battling his own demons. After a severe bout of post-traumatic stress disorder forced him to abandon his career, Phin is now attempting to rebuild his life. However, his return to the agency takes a dangerous turn when he walks into an armed break-in. Joy, his colleague, has been shot, and Cora-Jane is seen fleeing the scene.

The agency quickly determines that the shooting is connected to the mystery surrounding Cora-Jane's father. As they offer her protection, they must also untangle a web of secrets that someone will kill to keep buried. With each step closer to the truth, the stakes escalate, with the agency and Cora-Jane realising they are up against someone who has much to lose if the secrets come to light.

This page-turner merges intricate plotting with rich character development, ensuring that readers are both emotionally invested and on the edge of their seats. Rose’s ability to blend high-stakes drama with the deeply personal struggles of her characters makes Buried Too Deep an unforgettable thriller.
