Along the Delaware River, in a quaint riverside neighborhood, the murkiness of the water tends to go unnoticed. For James, however, its darkness is utterly unmistakable. The image of his high-school girlfriend Abby's lifeless body, still floats in his mind.
It has been ten years since her suicide,and since he fled to Philadephia. Time and greed hardened his heart. His career as a prominent attorney dominates his life. As his doomed marriage finally fails, unsummomed memories of Abby upheave his sanity, and drive him back to his grief, and unanswered question.
To find the truth (although at first to avert it,) he takes all the help he can get -no matter how incredulous. When neither physcian nor psychologist prove to be of any assistance, a mysterious drifter, and self proclaimed psychic named Celeste, becomes his guide. James' search for answers, and possibly a killer, becomes of dire importance, as he walks the tightrope of mental breakdown versus breakthrough.
He's finally able to ask the bigger questions. And, even though it's too late to save Abby from her ill fate, having the courage just to ask, is what he's needed more than knowing the answers.

I thought this book was very good. It was about dealing with loss and grief, unexpected turns that life throws at us. It made me believe that it is only through forgiveness that we can become who we are meant to be.Life is full of struggles and you could feel the struggles that Jim went through to find himself. The characters were very well developed and I felt like I knew them, and felt what they felt. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, no matter your favorite genre, it is well worth your time. I received this book through First reads to give an honest review. Believe me this is a good one. Great storyline and the ending , well I won't spoil it for you all. Great read!
[RIVER DEEP] -Was meant to be a mystery, an unraveling of an old secret. I sense my novel's grief-healing undertone has taken on the dominant role, and I'm very pleased. A placid 'who-dunit' was Not what I was going for. Its no coincidence the word "Deep" is in the title. Thanks for not missing it.
