New romantic suspense series: “Women of Justice”
FBI agent Samantha Cash sets out to solve a string of murders in a small Southern town. Troubles arise when the case turns personal…
Lynette Eason debuts a new romantic suspense series that features strong female characters who will stop at nothing to find the criminal: the Women of Justice series.
Too Close to Home is the first novel in this new series, which renowned suspense author Dee Henderson called “a hit” and said that she “enjoyed every minute.”
In this thrilling first book, readers meet Samantha Cash, who is the FBI’s secret weapon. Her methods are invisible, and she never stops until the case is closed. When missing teens begin turning up dead in a small Southern town, Samantha is assigned to help the local police chief Connor Wolfe find the killer. And he has two problems with that. There’s her faith–in God and herself. And then there’s the fact that she looks exactly like his late wife.
As they get close to an answer, the case becomes personal. The killer seems to be taking an interest in Connor’s 16-year-old daughter, who thinks her dad is getting way too protective. Can’t a girl just have some fun?
Too Close to Home ratchets up the suspense with each page, and will have readers cheering for the characters they love as justice is served and love grows even in the face of danger. Read this one with the lights on! is the first novel in this new series, which renowned suspense author Dee Henderson called “a hit” and said that she “enjoyed every minute.”
ISLAND BREEZES
Be prepared to be sleep deprived. I’ve been reading until my eyes crossed, because I was so sleepy. I did not want to put down this book.
There were lots of feelings engaged while reading this. Smiles, sadness, tenderness, fear, love. There were chuckles, understanding, trepidation, romance and tears. Oh, yes. Another one for the tissue box.
I thought I had figured out the villain several times, but kept bumping into obstacles. All I can say is, it’s who you don’t want it to be.
I’m pretty sure I know who the will be the main character in the second book of this series. Don’t let me down, Lynette. How soon will I be able to read this next one? How ever long it is, that will be too long.
