Misisipi by Michael Reilly is a dark mysterious tale with elements of romance and global agendas, something that'll not let you put this book down once you started reading it.Thanks to the author, Michael Reilly for providing me with a copy of his book, in return for an honest review.Julianna met Scott, while both of them were getting away from their parents in the year 1997. Fast-forward to the 2005, Scott and Julianna are married, but they don't look happy or satisfied with each other, mainly because of Julianna's past, which Scott knew little off. Finally one fine day, Julianna leaves Scott with a single line of note, but Scott didn't want to give her up, so he starts on a journey to find Julianna. As his destination gets closer to the South, hurricane Katrina starts raging slowly and along with revelation of Julianna's dark past.The plot is amazingly gripping with too many twists and turns, also it ponders on some global environmental issues. The best part is that suddenly the story takes a U-turn when it becomes a thick-plot of murder mystery. The writing was thoroughly impressive, by not giving away too many details about why Julianna is leaving, and this keeps the readers hooked till the end. The characters were perfectly apt to the plot, like Julianna being the perfect mysterious girl with a dark past, which is eventually revealed to the readers, and Scott being the one who gets hunted due to Julianna's dark past. Their chemistry mentioned in the initial pages of the book is rocking.So if you like some pot-boiling thriller, I'm sure this book fits the bill completely.
