Rapid Descent has a lot of detail & imagery that pulls the reader in, even if you know nothing about kayaking or white water rafting.

A happily newlywed couple goes on a kayaking trip, & only one returns. Questions arise as to whether there was abuse, jealous exes, insurance policies, secrets about backgrounds, & accidental death vs. foul play, & of course, the spouse is always the top suspect.

The book has plenty of action, a strong female lead character, and a good plot line. A lot of the action takes place on the water, but it's an interesting background for a mystery.

The only thing off-putting to a reader may be that the first few chapters were heavy with kayaking terms, but it evens out & it's worth it to get into the meat of the story.
