Adventure mystery novels are my new favorite genre! I love the excitement and thrills that these stories provide - they make for quite a fun reading experience. And, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of John F. Dobbyn's new book, Deadly Depths. It was fantastic! Think Indiana Jones-ish adventure story - awesome, right? 

Okay, so what is the story about? Well, it's about a hidden treasure and a group of archaeologists who belong to a secret society called The Monkey's Paw. How cool does that sound? And if you need more information, here's a summary of the book (thanks to Goodreads!):

A notable archaeologist, close to finding a priceless artifact, meets his untimely demise— Matthew Shane vows to find his murderer

Matthew Shane is a law professor in Salem, Massachusetts, where he enjoys a rewarding mentorship with Professor Barrington Holmes, a well-known archaeologist. So when Professor Holmes is found dead in his office and the police rule it a suicide, something doesn’ t sit right with Matthew. He becomes determined to find the true cause of Holmes’ death and bring closure to his widow.

Matthew soon learns that Professor Holmes belonged to a group of notable archaeologists dubbed “ The Monkey’ s Paw,” who were all entangled in an expedition to find an unknown object of unprecedented historical and financial value. Each member had been given one piece of the instructions to find the object, but some of the men had encountered horrific twists of fate before the group could reunite to continue in their search. Joining forces with the remaining members, Matthew’ s quest for the cause of the apparent curse of The Monkey’ s Paw leads him on a global wild goose chase that culminates in a turn of events not even Professor Holmes could have predicted.

Exciting, right? I know I was intrigued by that summary. And, once I started reading the book I was hooked right from the start. How could I not be? I had to find out what this object they were all seeking was and I had to find out what really happened to Professor Barrington Homes. Plus, I loved getting to know Matthew Shane. And, I mean, joining forces with The Monkey's Paw - well, you just knew that was going to be trouble and adventure all rolled into one, right?  So, yeah, I had to read this book, and let me just say, I'm so happy that I did. It was truly a treat to read. I loved the excitement and thrills of Matt's search for the truth. 

Deadly Depths is a definite must read for anyone and everyone looking for their next great action thriller - you will LOVE this book to bits! Make sure to check it out!
