Drawing Fire By Janice Cantore

Back of the Book

One case from her past defines homicide detective Abby Hart.

With a possible serial killer stalking elderly women in Long Beach, California, Abby’s best lead is Luke Murphy, an irritating private investigator who saw a suspect flee the scene of the latest homicide. When Abby discovers that the most recent victim is related to the governor, she’s anxious to talk to him about a cold case that’s personal to her―one Luke is interested in as well.

As she learns more about the restaurant fire that took her parents’ lives years ago, Abby discovers why Luke is so invested in finding the ones responsible. The more they uncover, though, the more questions they have. Can Abby find peace without having all the answers?

My thoughts

Drawing Fire has an intense addictive plot, with wonderful dialog and scenes that are well thought out and perfectly scripted.  You will not be able to put this book down.  Abby is a great, hardworking, strong person that is well respected in her field. Luke is the all around hero type and it drives Abby crazy in more ways than one.  Cantore wrote equally entertaining side characters, and a case that just when you think you have it figured out, a new clue comes to light that makes your head spin.  While a conclusion is made on the case, in the end there seems to be enough dangling to make the next book.  If you love a great suspense and don't mind a few stones unturned then grab this book and start reading, but if you need it all cleared up in the end wait for the next book to come out and then start reading.

I was given this book free from Tydale Publishers for my honest review.
