Book Description:
Annalisse Drury and Alec Zavos find themselves on opposing sides when an ex-lover from Alec’s past introduces him to his alleged son. With Alec distracted and their future engagement in limbo, Annalisse accepts a key to her dream cottage—situated on a picturesque sheep station on South Island, New Zealand—only this time, she travels alone.
But not long after her arrival she’s confronted by two peculiar deaths—either accidental, or the deliberate acts of a psychopath.
Local investigators are closing the cases too quickly and want Annalisse to exit the country before she reveals the town’s darkest secrets.
Will she return to Alec, or sacrifice their future together to expose it all?

MY THOUGHTS.....
I recently read Stolen Obsession, the first book in the Annalisse Series so I was thrilled to read another story by Marlene M. Bell. The fact that there are two books in between had no bearing on my enjoyment because the author does a wonderful job of explaining events that happened in those earlier books. Copper Waters: A New Zealand Cottage Mystery finds Annalisse Drury and Alec Zavos knee-deep in adventure, mysterious happenings, and unexplained deaths once again, but the setting is New Zealand and they aren't the happy couple that they once were. Has their romance hit a stumbling block that they can't overcome?
Copper Waters kept me fully engaged with its twists and turns, and I enjoyed seeing Annalisse and Alex in action again. I did find the ending to be a little unsettled so I can only wonder if there are more adventures ahead. Unsolved mysteries, settings in exotic locales, and exciting romantic tension are parts of Bell's captivating formula and they make me long for more escapades with this couple!
I received a copy of Copper Waters: A New Zealand Cottage Mystery from the author via iRead Book Tours. I was never required to write a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
