No matter where Grace Walker goes, her extra sensory power goes with her. She's an empath and she sees things -- terrible things. After a tragic accident at the place where she works, she decides to take a mental-health break on a remote West Coast island. But she no sooner gets to Galliano Island when a vision of the murder of an Indigenous woman draws her into a disturbing and threatening dilemma.
Underneath the Fireflies Brings Readers Mystery From Cover to Cover. As I read this novel, I wondered if it was part of a series and if I had missed or forgotten the details of an earlier boo! The author brought readers a bit of mystery surrounding Grace Walker and the backstory from her employer and coworkers she left behind as she took her "holiday" to visit her parents on Galliano Island. I don't think I missed a book--but I would certainly be willing to catch up on the events leading up to Grace's vacation with other novels. The novel wraps up the island mystery nicely--but left me wishing I had more of Grace's adventures to read!
Scott Uses a Unique Writing Style in this Thriller. This novel jumps between characters, locations, backgrounds, and scenes--giving readers varied perspectives on the events as they unfold. While Grace is the novel's main character, the story is told through many characters and short chapters dedicated to setting locations, backstories, paranormal elements, quick action scenes, and pieces of the mystery's puzzle. The novel is long, but the short chapters and perspective changes keep the information, action, and storyline exciting and engaging.
Would I Recommend Underneath the Fireflies by Marianne Scott? This novel was a book that began with a mysterious edge, bridged a paranormal/natural world setting, solved a primary murder mystery, and left me feeling that more mystery lurked. I loved it. While I can't say I loved any one part of the novel or preferred any characters over others--I loved the flow and blending of the many pieces of the story. For fans of paranormal mysteries or thrillers with spiritual/metaphysical connections, this book is one for your reading list.
