Elaina Williams is at her wit\u2019s end: her father Edward Williams has disappeared after leaving her an out-of-character voicemail. She immediately asks for Ric Peters&#8217; help who has just returned from a disastrous trip abroad. As they begin to look into Edward\u2019s disappearance, they find themselves entangled into a sinister hacking conspiracy of grave consequences. The pair must do everything in their power if they want to locate the culprits before time runs out for Elaina\u2019s father. The authors set a measured pace, gradually introducing the new cast as the story smoothly transitions between characters and places. As in the previous installment, Elaina is a determined and capable protagonist. Supporting players also shine, particularly Max. The gripping, well-written narrative drops in a handful of surprises, like unexpected deaths, culminating in a finale both satisfying and realistic. There are hints of action in the tale, but the focus remains on the espionage side, such as Ric and Max on the trail of the hackers as the latter try to peek through backdoors. For all the authors\u2019 ingenuity however, the real pleasure here involves not the plotting or characterization but the atmospheric setting: they portray Australia&#8217;s golden coastline with so much charm and intrigue that readers will have to put it on their bucket lists. Intrigue, murder, and vengeance make for a darkly enjoyable read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cobra Pose: Yoga Mat Mysteries (Mystery, suspense, romance and adventure)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Susan Rogers (Author), John Roosen (Author)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cobra-Pose-Mysteries-suspense-adventure-ebook\/dp\/B0BTJV4V1H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date January 30, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASIN B0BTJV4V1H<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $6.99 Kindle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An intricate, beautifully written page-turner with some shocking twists.
