Too Close To Home by Lynette Eason

MY REVIEW:

I am familiar with Lynette Eason’s Love Inspired Suspense novels so I was prepared for a good mystery. In my opinion, she has kicked it up another level with Too Close To Home. With a plot that includes realistic family conflicts, a tentative romance, and a murderer who seems to be one step ahead of the detectives and the FBI, Too Close To Home kept my undivided attention and once again I stayed awake way too late in the night in order to reach the conclusion. The story has plenty of surprises, twists, and tension plus several occasions when I wanted to warn a character about the dangerous move he/she was about to make. By the end of the book, I was convinced that it was aptly named – for more than one reason.

It would be difficult for me to reveal more about Too Close To Home without spoilers. Just let me say that if you are a suspense fan, you should like it. And the sneak peek of the next installment of the Women of Justice series hints that it will be just as good. I know I look forward to it.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

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!
