Review:
"Secret Agenda" by Jacquelyn Webb was a good fiction story. The story was a well written short story that was indeed a page turner. I found it hard to put down... so I read it in one read.
The story was of a journalist, Donna Madison who set out on a journey to Darwin. On this trip during her off hours of work Donna was looking for her brother Matt who had left home(vanished) earlier due to an argument (about his future with the company) with their father. Now that their father was sick(bad heart) and finding out that Matt's girlfriend was pregnant Donna felt she had to track him down and find
out just what was going on him him and and drag him home whatever it took. Due to the fact that Donna was a journalist and in her snooping around found out her brother was traveling up the coastline working as a diver or fisherman. Knowing this Donna set up to do her assignments (visiting a minor conference of politicians and environmentalists)
and along with that ..... finding out what was up with her brother.
A lot of questions are asked and answered: Why was her brothers' behavior so out of character? Could drugs account for his odd behavior? As the story moves in difference directions ... ..Will Donna find Matt? How does the drugs come into play?... and what about the pearl diving industry? How does this come into play? And ...Who is falling in
love with Donna? I don't want to give it away so you will simply have to pick up this novel to find just what was the "Secret Agenda."
There are some very interesting characters in this story to really take note of: Nick Carrellas, Lang Torrens,(photographers), Sapphire Green, Alex Vallison, Mrs. Jenson, Rabbit, (Mal McMahon), Spencer, Countess Maria Montildi, Jimbo, Ms. Big and Mr. Smith. The author did a wonderful job and putting this story together making the reader wanting to know just what was going to happen next.
"Secret Agenda" was a quick, interesting and a good read.
