Well this was a page turner ... until it wasn't. The first 353 pages were full of intrigue, mystery, sorrow, emotions while they were looking for the bad guy and processing all the grief. But then! On page 354 BOOM! They figure out the bad guy is really the sweet old man no one would ever suspect! And then just like that, the book is over!! No clues -- no hints -- nothing! What?!?!?
At the request of her many fans—Terri Blackstock revisits the heroic cast of characters in this fifth book in her best-selling Newpointe 911 series In Line of Duty, a bomb explodes at the Icon International building in New Orleans while lawyer Jill Clark Nichols is in the top floor boardroom. The thirty-story building goes up in flames and fire departments from all around the area are called in. The firefighters from Newpointe are especially concerned since they know Jill is inside the building. Dan, her husband, rushes in to save her. But as firefighters work to evacuate the upper floors of the building, a second and third bomb explode, causing the lower floors to cave in. Firefighters and civilians are buried beneath the rubble. When the smoke finally clears, a count is taken. Jill narrowly escapes the chaos of the explosions and fire only to find Dan missing. Were the bombs the act of a terrorist, or a scheme coming from a heart of greed? Can Jill’s faith carry her through these long days of pain and uncertainty? And will Dan survive this tragedy . . . or sacrifice his life in the line of duty? (picture and description at Amazon)
I did not realize until I finished that this is a series (although I was suspicious!) and this is actually the last book in the series! It was good, but not good enough to go back and read all the others. Not with 400+ books sitting on my Paperwhite waiting to be read -- along with over 40-50 real books staring at me longingly as well.
Next up --- who knows!
Keep Reading!
