First, computer specialist Laney
Ryan's accused of kidnapping her neighbor's daughter—and now someone's trying
to kill her. The police don't believe Laney's story…except for Detective Mark
James, whose instincts say Laney isn't guilty. Together, Mark and Laney must
figure out who really abducted the teen and uncover why they're framing Laney.
But when their search for the truth turns deadly, Mark realizes his feelings
for Laney aren't strictly professional and that he'll stop at nothing to keep
her safe. With a dangerous suspect swiftly closing in, can they find the
missing girl and clear Laney's name…before their possible future together is
fatally cut short?

My Thoughts:
Christy Barritt is at it again. With her latest Love
Inspired Suspense novel, Shadow of
Suspicion, I really was drawn into the story right away with the doors
banging open and invading Laney's home. From there on, the rest of the story
lives up to the same height of rush and hide. Something happened at the end of
every chapter, capturing my intrigue and making me flip the pages to see what
happens next. The romance between Laney and Mark doesn't even hint at anything
until page 100. It slowly progresses, and then ends up at a predictable
marriage. I know it is required of this publisher, but it always makes me shake
my head. Except for the romance, I really like Barritt's take on how she
created Laney to be the perfect suspect for the kidnapping, but she laid the story
out so well that I didn't figure out who the main bad guy was. I highly
recommend this story for fans of Barritt's other works and fans of the Love
Inspired Suspense line.
I received a complimentary copy of Shadow of Suspicion from Christy Barritt, but my opinions are my
own.
My Rating:
4.5 out of 5 stars
Do you like to read the Love Inspired line? Regular Romance? Suspense? Historical? What draws you to this genre? If not, what repeals you from these books?
