Talk about a high-concept, well-written romantic suspense.
Heavier on the suspense then the romance, the novel is quick paced, energy
charged and consistently kept me up past my bedtime to find out who did it.
I’m
not the most intelligent suspense reader. I don’t often “get” everything and
get easily lost in all the twists and tails. What I loved about this novel, in
addition to being well written, there is the high concept of genetic research
and catching the killer, but it meets readers like me half way while leaving
plenty of room for the intelligent reader.
I
had an idea of who the killer was, thought I was wrong, and then the book
looped back around to prove I was right with plenty of twists to get back. The
spiritual element was gracefully woven through the story becoming an intricate
part of the telling. The romance is definitely the subplot, but I thought it
was done in such a way that did not leave it feeling rushed or the reader
cheated. It’s just there and was nice.
Plenty
of different turns. The genetic research angle was fascinating and the
characters were strong and captivating on the page. It has that ability to get
and keep you hooked right away. Recommended reading!
This
review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through CFBA for my copy
to review.

Great review Casey! Have you read the first two books in the Justice Seekers? They were good too. I really like Robin Caroll's writing. Glad you did too ;)
ReplyDeleteI've read to Write a Wrong, and have Injustice for All to read. It's just a matter of time now. ;-)
