Footsteps in the Sea Kindle Edition

by Su Adams (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 148 ratings
*** AMAZON Top Ten writer ***

'such a compelling read'

'Footsteps in the Sea' is the story of Helen, an apparently innocent child, whose obsession with her dead father and devotion to her mother lead to murder.
When she moves to Switzerland as a teenager to live with a doting uncle, it seems she has at last found a safe refuge where the past can be forgotten.
Her happiness is complete when she marries a wealthy Greek, who adores her, but soon the old ghosts return to haunt her.
Cryptic anonymous letters start to arrive for her from someone whose veiled threats appear to jeopardise everything Helen holds dear.

'A world of deep emotion and undying love with an unexpected twist at the ending'

    I took "Footsteps in the Sea" on holiday with me and finished in no time at all as it was such a compelling read. I won't give away too much but the book is very well penned with fascinating characters and an intriguing plot. I'm certainly looking forward to Su Adams' next adventure.

    Thoroughly recommended!

    In all honesty I cannot say that I 'enjoyed' this book,but found that I just could not put it down! The content was hardly joyful as one usually finds in greek based books.but if you like to be kept 'on edge'then this book is ideal, it is well written apart from the odd grammatical error. The characters at least were likeable. Maureen keeton, derbys.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Tried to persevere but gave up after 16%
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2019
    Verified Purchase
    A proofreader and editor would have been useful to improve the standard of this book. The poor grammar and other mistakes (use of the word 'shambling' to describe their rooms, describing their wedding day and start of their honeymoon then reverting to their decision to begin living together and using speech marks inappropriately are only a few examples) was very distracting. I found some of the phrases rather 'twee', for example 'their mutual passions were very easily aroused'. This book carried a banner: Amazon top ten writer. Thankfully this is not the standard in most of the books I read.
    Unfortunately these numerous problems prevented me from wanting to read any further so I cannot comment on the storyline.

    I was drawn into this book with it's choreographed dance of surprise and suspense. The story is full of throttle and gave a good insight into retrograde amnesia. Once I started I could not stop. A great debut novel with tight prose, complex emotions and plenty of suspense to keep you guessing.

    I liked this story. It was certainly different, although strange. There were some minor editing issues that distracted a bit, but overall I would recommend it.

    First I must say that the story was well written. However to me there was not much mystery to the story at all. i had it figured out very quickly. The ending is a bit of a surprise but I prefer mysteries/suspense that keep me guessing throughout the story.
