I
read a lot of books. Over the years I’ve
read a lot of crime and mystery novels.
After
awhile they all pretty much read the same and I usually figure out the plot
before I finish a book-if I finish a book.
Very
seldom do I read a book and find myself surprised-especially when it comes to
crime novels.
Lynette
Eason’s new ‘Elite Guardians Chasing Secrets’ book from Revell/Baker Publishing Group,
surprised me.
I
was not expecting to be surprised, but I was.
It was delightful.
To
be sure the book has many of the elements of a good romance suspense novel but
author Eason managed to use those elements in a new and unique way to craft a
story that kept me glued to my seat, soaking in each page.
In
‘Chasing Secrets’ Elite Guardian body guard Haley Callaghan finds herself
knee-deep in a mystery.
Someone
is trying to kill her, but for what reason?
Does it have something to do with an encounter she had with a vengeful
street thug, her shadowy past or is it something else entirely?
Mystery
and intrigue abound as Haley slowly pieces together the pieces and finally puts
together the puzzle involving her life, her profession and her past.
Along
the way a romance blossoms, a tragedy turns to triumph and (here’s the big
surprise) God gets the glory!
It
is refreshing to read a crime novel where foul language is absent, morals are
applauded and God is honored.
I
thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading others in the series.
