Dead Lake by Author B. J. RobinsonI very much enjoyed the descriptive introduction to this fictional novel. I could easily envision the Cypress trees with their overhanging branches and stumps and knees as the fishing boat of Judy and Jim quietly slips its way through the calm and somewhat eerie lake.  This long time married coupled mutually enjoy their love of fishing...but Judy is a huge fan of fishing on dry land until this unprecedented turn of events of fishing from a boat at Jim's persuasion.  From dawn to dusk they persist in their quest of catching the big one. However, due to the cloudy skies and without the moonlight to guide their way...the shortage of gas in the boat's tank comes back to haunt them. Judy and John become stranded when Judy's earlier fear becomes a reality.  Despite her concerns and desire to turn back sooner, Jim reassures her that he can navigate their way back safely before they run out of gas.Jim quickly realizes that they have lost their way when they see what appears to be a boat heading toward them. As it approaches, Judy and Jim are faced with an escaped convict. He is very menacing and boards their boat uninvited and in a threatening manner. Suddenly out of nowhere appears another odd looking fellow who gives his name as Swamp Rat.  He knocks out the convict, gags and ties him up, and then offers to go for help. Before long, a third man by the name of Nick appears on the scene and offers his help as well but...the escaped convict has managed to get free and is in hot pursuit of Jim, Judy, and now Nick. What was supposed to be a quiet and relaxing day of fishing on Dead Lake is now going in a totally new and dangerous direction...there is much more intrigue to come as this escaped convict remains at large and manages to spread his ill will around to other innocent Dead Lake residents. The danger gets even closer to home as the grandson of Judy and Jim is put at risk when an unsolved crime manifest itself and eventually unfolds.Once again, seasoned Author B. J.  Robinson demonstrates her creative capabilities as well as her excellent writing skills in her novel "Dead Lake".  This fictional mystery novel is easy to read and good clean entertainment.  The many unexpected twists and turns are sure to captivate the attention of a wide reading audience especially those who enjoy a well-written mystery. I have read and reviewed a few other books by this talented author, and every time I do, I am reminded of my younger years when I enjoyed reading the Nancy Drew series.  I am definitely complimenting Author B.J. Robinson when I say that she is in very good company when it comes to putting pen to paper in order to create a great mystery series of her own!Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteI'm Not Perfect and It's Okay
