Lynette Eason: Double Take

 By Kelly Bridgewater

Detective James Cross has been honorably discharged from the Army Criminal Investigation Division due to wounds sustained when an IED blew up near him. Now with the Lake City Police Department, he's rooming with this good buddy and partner, Cole, while he figures out his family dynamics.

Physician Assistant Lainie Jackson is eighteen months out from an attempted murder perpetrated by her ex, which ended when she managed to grab the weapon and shoot him. When he appears to have survived and is back to finish the job he started, Lainie insists it's not possible. But someone keeps trying to kill her, and she keeps seeing his face.

Together, Lainie and James must work together to find out who, exactly, is after her and why he wants her dead. And failure is not an option.

USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason will leave you breathless with this fast-paced first book in a brand-new series.

 


My Thoughts:

Double Take by Lynette Eason is an appropriate title for this story. Readers will understand why as they dive into the plot. The plot has many different woven parts that confuse Lainie and Adam’s family. Luckily, filled with determination and grit, Laine and James, the hero, worked really hard together to try to uncover the different threads and come up with a conclusion to solve the case. Eason does a wonderful job of keeping the readers guessing until the climactic moment at the end. As for the romance, Lainie and James grew up together, but Lainie was the sister’s best friend, so the sparks may have been one-sided at one time, but now, they might blossom into something else. Definitely something I hope will continue in the future stories in this series. Eason also includes the importance of family in the plot. Eason does a wonderful job at crafting memorable characters that readers will want to stick with and root for as the horrible occurrences rain down all around them. Overall, Double Take by Lynette Eason is a wonderful thrill ride with deep characters and a twist enough to the plot to make readers question the villain’s identity.

I received a complimentary copy of Double Take by Lynette Eason from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

My Rating:  4 out of 5 stars
