Customer Reviews

a great book

I had never read any books by Susan Paige Davis, so I was a little uncertain of her style of writing. This book sounded interesting to me, though, so I decided to try it. I was not disappointed. It was an awesome book!! The plot was great, and I couldn't put it down. I definitely recommend it!!

Excellent suspense

Book two in the Frasier Island Series. Marie and Pierre Belanger have been stationed in Japan. Now, Marie is on her way home to visit her family in Maine. She's traveling with Jenna Tarrington, wife of Commander Tarrington. Although they've never been friends, they are thrown together on the trip. Two men seem to be following them, and appear to be threatening in some way. Then Jenna is murdered in an airport restroom and Marie finds a flash drive she's never seen before in her luggage. Soon she's on the run, trying to stay alive. Susan Page Davis drops the reader right into the story, and Finding Marie is a first rate tale filled with heart-stopping suspense, well developed characters, and a tight plot. A great follow up to book one in this series. I'm looking forward to book three.

Ride of your life

Get ready for the ride of your life when you read Finding Marie by Susan Page Davis. Young and still fairly naïve, Marie Belanger heads to Maine ahead of her husband Pierre, who remains in Japan to complete one last secret mission before he can join her. When she lands in California, she witnesses a murder and has to run for her life. She leans on God to know who to trust as she crosses the country on everything from bicycle to hitchhiking to truck beds. She knows that she will feel safe if only she can reach her family in Maine. Every time she contacts Pierre, someone comes after her. Who can Pierre trust while he's Finding Marie?

Riveting suspense with non-stop action...

Think The Bourne Identity meets Blink by Ted Dekker and you'll get the same kind of riveting suspense. But in Finding Marie the pursuers are not the USA, nor Arabs from the Middle East, but communists from China. This tale of international intrigue had me on the edge of my seat. Marie's pursuers never gave her a rest. She had to outrun them and in the process had many close calls. At one point more criminals join the chase and she has people coming at her from all sides. The violence picks up and Marie is terrified, but crafty as she is, she manages to evade them. I enjoyed this story and love the author's pacing and writing style. There is even an engaging romantic subplot among secondary characters that keeps the story moving along. Much like in Frasier Island, the previous novel by the same author, Finding Marie is non-stop action. If you love heart pounding suspense, you'll want to read this book.

A fast paced, buckle your seat belt, wild ride....

If you have read Frasier Island then you can't miss this story. In this tale, Pierre and Marie are married and living in Tokyo. Pierre is due for a 30 day leave but decides to send Marie ahead by a couple weeks. He puts her on the plane and she sits next to the wife of one of them men Pierre works with. When they get to San Francisco she sees the woman she sat next to on the plane murdered. She runs with her bag and finds that she has several cruel looking men looking for her. When she trys to find her cell phone she finds that it was stolen and instead she finds a flash drive. Not knowing much about computers, she's not sure if it's important but she figures that must be why they killed the woman she sat next to. She manages to board her next flight and on that plane she meets a woman who happens to sell casual wear items. Marie buys a few items to use as a disguise. When she deplanes she sees the men who were following her in San Francisco. She leaves the airport then and the chase is on. She is able to call her husband a few times but the bad guys always seem to be close at hand. Pierre is sent home by his boss and enlists the help of his best friend George Hudson to find Marie. They always seem to be one step behind the bad guys who are one step behind Marie. This is a fast paced story where something is always happening right up to the nail-bitting ending. As a sideline there is a romance that blooms between Pierre's brother, Andre and Marie's sister, Lisa. It's also nice to see into George and Rachel's lives once more. Highly recommended read.
