LETHAL WILDERNESS TRAP

by Susan Furlong

December 30, 2024 - January 31, 2025 Virtual Book Tour

Synopsis:

Trust means everything...
when danger hits too close to home.

Hunting a never-caught killer, Special Agent Nolan Shea learns of a new victim. But the body on Ava Burke's land puts her and her young daughter, Rose, in someone's lethal sights. With a trail of shocking clues pointing to her family's involvement, Ava starts to question everything she holds dear and is soon desperate to uncover the truth with Nolan. Step after step, they confront their fears. But will finally cornering a murderer out in the wilderness become a trap they can't escape?

From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.

My Review:

Furlong gives readers a good inspirational romantic suspense. The book opens with a body discovered and Rose, Ava's daughter, may have seen the murderer. The suspense heightens when it becomes evident Rose may be in danger. There are a number of suspects to the murder and all else that is going on so there are twists when new information is uncovered. The major characters were good but my favorite character was actually the dog Creed, comfort to Rose and a hero in the end.

The romance between Ava and Nolan is subtle at first. He waited almost until the investigation was over to kiss her. I do like it better when the romance holds off until the case is actually closed and there is no more conflict of interest. Both of them have hurts from the past they need to overcome and there are some misunderstandings creating obstacles to the romance. The faith element is present but subtle. Potential readers should know the plot involves human trafficking.

I enjoyed this novel of suspense. Furlong's writing style is good and kept me reading to see what would be happening. The novel is a good addition to this genre.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
