Book Review: The Bridge to Belle Island

The Bridge to Belle Island
by Julie Klassen



Bethany House Publishers

Pub Date 03 Dec 2019  


I am reviewing a copy of The Bridge to Belle Island through Bethany House publishers and Netgalley:



Benjamin Booker whose a lawyer resolves to never trust another woman after a  mistake humiliated him.


After an old friend is killed, the senior partner of bow street isn’t satisfied with the way things are handled and asks Benjamin to investigate.  Benjamin who is more than ready to leave London, at least for awhile agrees.  The evidences takes him to a remote island on the Thames, a place that is a world unto itself and is shrouded by mystery.  It doesn’t take long before Benjamin finds himself falling for the main subject, a woman who hasn’t left the island in ten years.  The problem is he doesn’t know whether he should trust her or not.


Isabelle feels safe on Belle Island, and she leads a productive life, but fear has her trapped there.  After Mr Booker shows up at Belle Island with news of her trustees murder in London, she’s stunned.  Isabelle hasn’t left the island,  but she’s had a recurring dream about a mans death, or could it be an actual memory?  She’s had a lot of anger against him, but this was not something he wanted.



After a second person died and the evidence surprisingly points to her, Isabelle has no idea who she should trust.  The lawyer whose attractive or the admirer of friends  who assemble on the island.  They each have grudges against the victim.  Isabelle is not even sure that she can trust her own mind.  Searching for the truth leads to secrets being brought to the light, and the danger that ensues.



I give The Bridge of Belle Island five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
