Race car driver Remy Borden likes fast things: bikes, cars,
and men. Her plans to become the first woman from the Cayman Islands to race
internationally gets sidetracked when she’s injured and pulled from the final
race because of a fiery confrontation with another driver.
Life goes from bad to worse when the racetrack owner is
killed and she’s suspect number one because his death puts her back in the
race. But racing again proves difficult when Dr. Jackson Wilson insists she
stop racing until she heals, making her wonder if his ‘doctor’s orders’ don’t
have ulterior motives-the racetrack owner was his friend.
She and Jackson search for the truth behind the murder when
accidents start happening at the racetrack, and an adoring fan gets too close.
Soon the simmering attraction between her and Jackson boils over, forcing her
to admit Jackson makes her think of a life beyond racing.
My Thoughts…
Deadly Race started with a woman race car driver, which I
love, (Danica Patrick is from my home town) and continued to keep my attention
with murder, mayhem, love, and a stalker.
I was able to put some of the clues together and some of the clues led
me the wrong direction, keeping me guessing.
I was very wrong about who the stalker was and that was a good
thing. I guessed who was causing all the
problems at the race track and had a good idea who the killer was. When a book keeps me on my toes and lets me
put the clues together to solve the mysteries, it quickly moves to the top of
my favorite reads list.
I love that Elke’s books take place in the Cayman
Islands. The speech is fun and
different from what I am use to and is so real that I can actually hear the
accents (I hear Jamaican sounding voices).
I do wish there was more descriptions of the surroundings, just for my
own enjoyment, but do not feel there is anything to really be gained by adding
these extra details. I was able to
picture Remy’s small and comfortable apartment, the hospital where Jackson
worked, and Remy’s parent’s house. The
police station was probably my favorite place; only because there were always
an interesting person in the background, whether a drunk or someone yelling
crazy stories.
This is my second Elke Feuer’s story and I cannot wait for
more from her. I definitely recommend
Deadly Race to anyone looking for an adventure to read.
