Switch by Lisa Towles is the third installment in the E&A Investigations series, a cleverly plotted thriller featuring complex characters. Mari Ellwyn and Derek Abernathy face a chilling mystery: a body vanishes from the morgue amid a wave of bank heists threatening their coastal town. As they unravel a tangled web involving the disappearance of a former medical examiner and a shadowy multi-national organization, Mari's past comes back to haunt her. How does this relate to her father’s mysterious disappearance and her nemesis, crime boss Jacques Martel? Someone will kill to keep the past where it belongs, but does Mari have what it takes to confront it and beat a foe as powerful as Jacques Martel?

This is a gripping thriller where past secrets threaten to destroy the present. Towles deftly melds sleuth work with impeccable plotting to deliver the kind of entertainment that thriller fans always seek. This thriller scores top points at every level—richly nuanced characters, the intelligent meld of relentless pace and unpredictable twistiness, gorgeous prose, and sparkling dialogue. Switch features genuinely flawed characters, and while the plot moves in unexpected directions, the author never loses her grip on the indelible character of Mari Ellwyn, the investigator who drives the narrative. This exhilarating, action-infused crime thriller deftly incorporates suspense with harrowing drama to keep readers turning the pages. It is enlivened by elaborately sculpted characters, delectable prose, and superior storytelling. If you love thrillers, you won’t be able to put this one down — deft, balanced, and hugely entertaining.
