I like watching
Steven Seagal movies on TV where the bad language has been bleeped out, and I
can enjoy the storyline and action. Reading Annabel
Lee was a lot like that. In this book, I think Seagal would be cast as The
Mute, a former Special Forces warrior who would lay down his life for his
former commanding officer and his niece, Annabel Lee, and who wasn’t beyond
taking a few other lives with him. Trudi Coffey, private investigator, is
unwittingly drawn into the mystery surrounding Annabel by Samuel Hill, her
ex-husband, ex-partner and CIA agent. Little did she know that she had been
intrigued by the mystery ever since she first discovered the “Safe” message in
the classified section of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
three years prior, not long before she discovered Samuel’s duplicity. This
action packed story will have readers turning pages long into the night.
In the author’s
notes Nappa tells of the difficulty he had finding the right niche for this
story. Including one Christian, a seeker, a handful of agnostics, mercenaries,
and a cult member, along with quite a bit of violence, it isn’t your typical
Christian fiction tale, but it had enough of a Christian slant that secular
publishers were not sure it fit their market either. I am so glad that Revell
publishing decided to publish Nappa’s story. It was a wild, bumpy ride, and one
I have thoroughly enjoyed. I hope that some of you will decide to take the ride
as well. I am looking forward to future books in the Coffey and Hill series.
I thank Revell
Publishers and Christian Fiction Blog Alliance for providing Annabel Lee for
my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable
review and the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.
