Lake City Heroes Book #4
A Christian Suspense Thriller with Mystery and Clean Romance between a FBI Agent and Air Marshal
Book Blurb:
Air Marshal Kristine Duncan is not on duty when a hijacker attempts to seize control of the plane she and her friends are on as they head out on a much-needed vacation. Jumping into action and aided by FBI Special Agent Andrew Ross, Kristine thwarts the attack and the plane lands safely. But as the investigation into the incident gets underway, Kristine and Andrew are confused at every step. Nothing about the investigation goes as it should, and each layer they peel back just reveals another layer of perplexity.
As the two work together to navigate a web of deception, blame, and personal reckoning, they find there’s more to this story than meets the eye—and more to love and admire about each other. They’ll have to put their skills to the test—and their hearts on the line—to unravel the truth and ensure that justice prevails.
USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason is back with another edge-of-your-seat thrill ride as she brings her popular Lake City Heroes series to a shocking and satisfying close.
My Review:
Note to Self: Read title heading and blurb carefully
Yeah, I was taken by the cover and to a lesser extent the blurb.
Air Marshal Kristine Duncan and some cronies are off on a much-needed vacation when the plane is hijacked. The hijacker, however, isn’t terribly sophisticated or knowledgeable in the art and, indeed, appears he’d rather not do it anyway. Not too difficult to take him down and Kristine does just that.
Also on the plane and involved in the arrest is FBI Special Agent Andrew Ross. Pretty handy, huh? Their investigation also gets hijacked, as the perp appears to have no clear mission and rather than being a diabolical perp bent on mayhem, it appears they attain more sympathy for the man. His situation is critical.
The more they investigate, the more they discover additional feelings for each other. Uh Oh. The narrative is laid out rather simplistically and the characters are not wholly developed despite long dialogues regarding their backgrounds and religious beliefs. She has daddy issues. He seems too good to be true. I kept waiting for that other shoe to drop.
There is a hook at the beginning, but then the plotline begins to slow and the pace with it, sagging in the middle, even with a few twists. The romance is a slow burn, which is okay with me as I don’t generally do romance.
I’m not quite sure where it went off the rails for me, but disbelief gained significant traction and the denouement was a shock. While I thought that’s where it was heading, still a bit disappointed when it did.
Many thanks to my local library for providing me with the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. The thoughts expressed here are my own.
