From bestselling author Linda Castillo. A romantic mystery of murder, redemption, and one woman's search for justice...

A killer is watching. . .

Nat Jennings nearly died the night her family was murdered--and spent the next three years wishing she had. Now, she is returning to the sleepy bayou town of Bellerose, Louisiana, driven by cryptic messages only she can hear--messages pleading for her help...

After serving six years for a crime he didn't commit, Nick Bastille is back in Bellerose, mourning his precious son, who drowned while Nick was away at prison, unable to protect him. But when Nat approaches him with a shocking revelation, his denial slowly turns to a desire for revenge...

Together, they will hunt for a merciless killer who nearly destroyed them both once before--and is now preparing to finish them off once and for all...

Ever since I have read the whole series of the Kate Burkholder books, I am going thru her books now with renewed zest! I will probably end up reading all her novels and will hunger for more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2014
Verified Purchase
Good story line. The main characters are both innocent of crimes for which she is accused and he was convicted. They are on the hunt for a killer in the swamps of Louisiana. Nat has to convince Nick that she is receiving messages from her deceased son, and after he believes her, he has to accept that his own son's death is not what he was told. The story is full of twists and turns, a little romance, and suspense. I liked this book, but it has a ton of typos. Many misspelled words like carne for came......it does distract from the story somewhat. I love Linda Castillo's books, and if you haven't read the Kate Burkholder series, I encourage you to buy them! They are five star reads!

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Paranormal Story with OK writing
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2012
Verified Purchase
This book is a good book to read for leisure activity, with a good portrayal of paranormal activity in the form of automatic writing that Nat experiences after she awakens from a coma that lasted 2 1/2 years, a coma that started with a suicide attempt following her being charged and jailed for the murder of her young son and husband. She is aided in the search for the true murderer by Nick, a convicted felon, just returned home from being imprisoned for the murder of his business parter, an act he did not commit. While in prison, he is unable to be at the funeral of his son, whom he is told drowned in the swamp as his ex-wife sleeps off a hangover. The reality, according to the automatic writing messages that Nat is receiving, is that both their boys were murdered, and the murderer will kill again unless they can identify the murderer and prove that he killed six children, all made to appear accidental.
Unwilling to inform law enforcement of her paranormal abilities, it is a challenge to convince anyone that the apparently-unconnected accidents are atually murders. With the local police not welcoming either Nat or Nick, the local population not wanting anything to do with them, and Nat's former in-laws convinced she killed their kin for a hefty insurance settlement, the two face threats, assaults and police harassment, but they continue to work to find the murderer of these innocent children.

With a decent plot line, the writing is not spectacular, but it works. A good editor could easily solve this concern. However, without wanting to reveal too much, it could be said that a good editor would need to work with the author to provide a tale that provides the audience with a bit more information about the killer's identity. While the author does incorporate the killer's thoughts, the link between those thoughts and the suspect's identity is correctly predicted only by an experienced reader's ability to predict the killer based on the available characters' personalities rather than by providing actual clues that would help to concretely develop a plausibale suspect throughout the story.

A good book for leisurely reading at a reasonable price, the author would do well to create a more realistic logic sequence in future writings.

This book was so good.. Had me hooked from the beginning and i did not want to put it down. It was the only thing that kept me up past midnight last night, allowing me to watch the ball drop and ring in the new year. It was non-stop, and intense with so much going on. It took me awhile to figure out who the bad guy was. Excellent book!!

4.0 out of 5 stars I have grown to love this author
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018

Ever since I picked up the first of the Kate Burkholder series, I have grown to love this author. I read her entire Silence series in just under two weeks (I couldn't stop reading) and am working on reading through her other works while waiting for the newest book in the series to be released.

"Depth Perception" is not the typical Linda Castillo book. It is, however, written in her smooth and detailed writing style and was almost up to the standard that I hold her to. If you have not yet read her Kate Burkholder books, I suggest you begin with those. "Seeds of Deception" is not part of that series, but it begins with Kate's childhood. Had I realized that in advance, I would have started there and moved directly into "Sworn to Silence."

If you have read that series, "Depth Perception" is a good book with a decent plot.

Did not figure out "who done it" until I read it . I am a new reader of Linda Castillo and am rapidly buying up her books
One huge problem who ever proof reads her books should be fired!!! The worst case of misspelled and poor letter placement ever seen. I plan to send an e-mail and suggest she check out a good proof reader.
Great great book no matter the poor spelling and mistakes. Flowed beautifully Nick by description is beautiful just right for Nat. Again loved it!!!

I can't believe how many times I forgot to breathe!!! I found the author through her Kate Burkholder series and just can't get enough! I found this gem quite serendipitously and once I started it, I literally could not put it down. Into the night, through the night and all day today, the book grabbed me and wouldn't let me go! I've met Linda twice and we've only talked about her series, but she's going to get a pleasant earful about this one! I highly, highly recommend you grab this and start reading it immediately!

I really enjoyed the plot and the style of writing but the editing left much to be desired. I discovered more than 30 typos in the first half of the ebook alone! It was distracting to be ever aware of mistakes in the text.

The book has an excellent, fast-moving plot but unfortunately is littered with typo errors, more than I've ever seen in all other books put together!

It needs a good comb through by a trained eye and 're-releasing for the Kindle version.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2013

This book wasn't quite as good as I expected it to be. There was too much romantic interest between the two leading characters and not enough going on to hold my interest. On a totally different note, I bought the Kindle edition and there are quite a few typos and big gaps between the lines of text.
