The Poseidon Project

The Herb Society Mysteries, #1

by E. William Podojil

Fast-paced, with plenty of surprising twists!

The Poseidon Project is the first book of The Herb Society Mysteries, a new series by author E. William Podojil, and it is going to rank among my favorite books of the year. Well-developed characters, international settings, a shocking disappearance, and a non-stop plot had me riveted to this story from start to finish. 

Good friends and family, all confident and capable men and women, make up the cast of characters, starting with Molly Halloran, whose husband John has gone missing while closing a business deal in Dubai. She’s surrounded by a coterie of long-time friends, the other members of The Herb Society, who support her from the moment she gets the news of John’s disappearance and accompany her to the far side of the globe to his last known location to help find him. Ramrodding the rescue expedition is her and John’s son, Dr. Lukas Halloran, a wealthy and talented tech genius, and his new acquaintance, pilot, and former USAF Special Ops veteran, Taylor Pastore. Making this a double family affair, Taylor is joined by his daughter, Tory, who is also a pilot and part of her father’s private jet company. Each participant brings something special and helpful to the table. 

The story unfolds from multiple points of view, giving different insights into ongoing events. Still, there are plenty of surprises lurking, from the friends’ history to great plot twists that suddenly made reading ‘one more chapter’ a priority. This was a page-turner for me! 

I recommend THE POSEIDON PROJECT for readers of thrillers, suspense, and mystery.
