Review – Flashpoint

January 8, 2011 By Michael

Flashpoint, the next book in Stephanie Newton’s Emerald Coast 911 series, opens with fire cop in training Matt Clark fighting a very suspicious fire with his partner Lara Hughes. And it becomes even more suspicious when the walls are torn down exposing a cache of weapons and large sums of money.

They soon realize this is a house where drugs are manufactured, but not the meth house they are used to finding. No, there is some strange new drug on the market and it is lethal. When Lara witnesses the dealer returning to the scene, she becomes his target and Matt vows to protect her. But can he?

Especially when Lara’s sister who’s had a long history of drug use, disappears and Lara fears her sister might ingest this new drug and die. She heads into the seediest areas of town to find her sister and Matt has his work cut out if he hopes to keep Lara alive.

When I pick up Stephanie Newtons’s books I can always count on well developed, captivating characters, a storyline that keeps the plot moving and a spiritual message that is not forced but resonates with me. Flashpoint follows in that vein and certainly doesn’t disappoint. I devoured the book in one sitting and ended it wishing another Newton book was sitting in my to be read pile. Fortunately, Newton publishes multiple books per year so I have Holiday Havoc her next book releasing in November to look forward to.
