Review – Line of Duty
Reviewed by Laura Hilton
The suspense is nonstop
Jaxon Wilder didn’t plan on returning home to Fog Lake, Tennessee, following his tour of duty in Iraq. But after a gut-wrenching failure during his stint in the Army, he now faces a new challenge: his family. Abby Brennan always did her best to be the good girl and to live by the rules. When a wrong decision changes her entire life, she tries to hide from the world. However, a madman known as the Executioner is determined to find her and enact his own brand of justice. When Jaxon and Abby are thrown together in the killer’s crosshairs, they’re forced to depend on one another to survive. Will Jaxon’s sense of duty be enough to help keep Abby safe? Or will deadly secrets lead to the penalty of death?
My thoughts:
LINE OF DUTY is book 4 in the series, but I am reading them out of order and they stand alone.
LINE OF DUTY starts with a strong creepy factor which made me hesitate to read this late at night, but it never really got overly-keep-me-awake-scary. The suspense is nonstop and I couldn’t figure out who was behind it until it was revealed. I didn’t want to stop reading this fast-paced story so you might want to read it when you have uninterrupted hours.
Don’t miss LINE OF DUTY by Christy Barritt. She is one of my top five favorite suspense writers.
