The Bridge to Belle Island



















Julie Klassen
tells an interesting story in her latest book, The Bridge to Belle Island.  When a partner in his law firm is found dead, Benjamin Booker is called in to investigate and to try to discover the root cause of this death.  Benjamin is drawn to Belle Island to find out if the dead man's niece, Isabelle Wilder, is involved in any way.  The main problem is that Isabelle has not left the island in over ten years!

Isabelle's fear of leaving the island is wrapped up in the fact that death has met many of her family the moment they took a step off the island.  You will see Benjamin step in a comfort Isabelle, when she has a physical reaction the moment she places a foot on the bridge to try to make an exit!

After Benjamin and Belle get to know each other, you wonder where this new relationship will take them.   Will Benjamin discover that Belle is actually involved in her uncle's death or will a new culprit suddenly appear?
