About this audiobook
Savannah Harris vowed to leave behind her old life as an intrepid investigative reporter. But when a friend raises suspicions about two migrant workers who’ve gone missing from the sleepy coastal town Savannah calls home, her curiosity spikes.
As ever more eerie incidents begin afflicting the area, each works to draw Savannah out of her seclusion and raise the stakes—for both Savannah and the surrounding community. Even as Savannah’s new boarder, Clive Miller, makes her feel things she thought long forgotten, she suspects he’s hiding something too, and he’s not the only one. Doubts collide in Savannah’s mind: Who can she really trust?
As secrets emerge and danger closes in, Savannah must choose between faith and uncertainty. One wrong decision might spell the end…not just for her, but for everyone around her.
Will she unravel the mystery in time, or will doubt get the best of her?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Title: DubiosityAuthor: Christy BarrittPages: 325Year: 2015Publisher: Waterfall PressMy rating is 5 stars.Savannah Harris has lived in her self-imposed isolation for two years. She lives in an old house in the middle of nowhere with no social life and nothing to stimulate her imagination. She is a former investigative reporter, but now she edits textbooks to pay the bills. Her former job led her into dangerous situations as she pursued truth and justice. She never gave up until she had her story, that is until she pushed too far and it cost her everything dear in her life. Now, to make up for what she perceives as her fault in a past tragedy, she lives a life with no spark and no chance at joy. She has turned her back on God and everyone else and is just existing, with the one exception of her long friendship with Marti, a friend who gives her time to help migrant workers in the area close to where Savannah lives.Clive Miller needs a local place to stay while he investigates his wife’s murder on the low-down. No one can know he is doing so or his one chance to find the truth will be removed. Savannah’s carriage house is the perfect place, even though she is reluctant to rent it to him. She relents and he begins to trace his wife’s path that led to her murder. What he doesn’t count on is being attracted to Savannah and her feeling the same attraction. He is here for one purpose and that is to find a murderer. Strange things begin to happen and migrant workers are disappearing. With Savannah’s nose for ferreting out clues and following leads, they stumble upon something more dangerous than they could imagine.This is one book you don’t want to miss! I couldn’t put it down. The story pulled me in from the get-go and the tension and suspense were palpable. When someone was watching Savannah, the description was such that I felt someone was watching me! Creepy, but good writing because it got me so involved in the story. I thought Savannah’s struggle with her belief in God after what had happened in her past was completely believable and understandable. However, God can handle her doubt and He sent people in to her life to encourage her and live lives of faith for her to see Him in action. I loved Savannah’s passionate spirit for justice once it emerged from its self-induced slumber. Don’t pass up this great suspense novel as it will make a great gift idea for yourself or a friend.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Before picking up Dubiosity, I had only read cozy mysteries by Christy Barritt. But a FB group recommended this one, so I gave it a try. With this novel, Barritt has proven to me that she can write outstanding page-turning suspense with a romantic touch.Set in a small town on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, this novel is filled with conspiracies and intrigue. Migrant workers are getting ill, while others have gone missing. The director of the agency tasked with helping them may or may not have attempted suicide. And many characters are not who they seem. Savannah Harris and Clive Miller team up to investigate, yet their pasts keep getting in the way of truly trusting each other.Dubiosity is a complex novel with lots of twists and turns and even more suspects. I was suspicious of one character in particular, but did not get final confirmation until the very end. Barritt did a good job of hiding his/her identity. I really liked the two main characters, both of whom had endured trauma and heartbreak, but were determined to find healing and hope. The narrator did a good job as well, giving each character a unique voice.If you are a fan of Terri Blackstock or Brandilyn Collins, then definitely check out Dubiosity.Recommended.Audience: adults.

As ever more eerie incidents begin afflicting the area, each works to draw Savannah out of her seclusion and raise the stakes—for both Savannah and the surrounding community. Even as Savannah’s new boarder, Clive Miller, makes her feel things she thought long forgotten, she suspects he’s hiding something too, and he’s not the only one.

One wrong decision might spell the end…not just for her, but for everyone around her. Will she unravel the mystery in time, or will doubt get the best of her?Review: I loved the storyline it pulled me in right away. I found Savannah to be very realistic and well written. The storyline flowed very well and the mystery was great. I found the dialogue and the plot were well written. There was enough mystery going on that held my attention. The plot moved at a good speed and before I knew it the end was at hand. So much was happening that it truly was hard to figure out who was the murderer. Clive was just as much of a mystery at the start and as the story progressed the details of who he was were provided. This truly was a great book because little than big mysteries were revealed which kept me hanging on.I would like to thank Net Galley and Waterfall Press for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Savannah Harris is dealing with her own grief and although no longer an investigator reporter, she begins to investigate when migrant workers are vanishing and her friend is in a coma from an apparent suicide attempt. Along, with her boarder, Clive Miller (who has secrets of his own), they are determined to find the answers. This is a suspense, thriller, mystery and romance novel all rolled up in one. The characters are likeable and believable and the story unfolds at a pace that I didn’t want to put the book down. This one should be on your winter reading list.
