This
novel wraps up The Deadly Reunion series. Jillian has been gone for
ten years. She saw a murder the night of the high school graduation
party – and the murderer saw her. She knew her life was in danger.
It would be the word of a teen against that of a powerful man. She
immediately left town. Over time she had made a life for herself,
becoming an investigative reporter. But when a colleague is killed by
a bomb on the car she was to be driving, she knew she had been found
out. It was time for her to return and find a way to put the murderer
behind bars.
Jillian's
return is a shock to many, including her high school boyfriend now
detective Colton. The still love struck Colton is reluctant to
believe her story as he is the nephew of the accused killer. But when
it becomes clear that someone is out to silence Jillian, Colton moves
to protect her and find the truth behind the accusations.
Eason
has crafted a good mystery. There is lots of action as there are
powerful people who have much to loose if the decade old secret comes
to light. The final revelation of the murderer is plausible.
My
only criticism is that Jillian sometimes put herself in danger,
knowing better. I don't like it when some of the action in a suspense
novel occurs because a character did a stupid thing. Jillian is a
savvy investigative reporter and sometimes acted out of character.
The
Christianity of the characters is well done. Jillian and Colton were
love struck teens and made a mistake but as adult Christians, make
the right decisions for their lives. And what a character that Megan
is! I loved her wit.
