It hit the deck running and kept a nice steady pace.
Welcome to Magnolia Parish Sheriff’s Office. In the heart of Lousiana Bayou country, this small Parish Sheriff’s office has a group of dedicated snipers on staff. London Carter is the leader of this select group and is a dedicated police officer who has the task of taking a life if there is no other option left.
In this, the first in the series we are introduced to London Carter and his teammates. They are confronted with a sniper who is killing off the captains in the Sheriff’s office. London has to figure out who the sniper is and in the process, he uncovers a coverup of an incident twenty years previously.
The case rocks the police force of Magnolia Parish and will leave the snipers with a sense of loss and betrayal.
This is a good series and had me binge reading again. The stories are riveting and well written and something different from the run off the mill police procedurals. It makes a good break from the norm and focuses on a part of police work not commonly found in popular series. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who wants to read a good mystery that is a bit different.
Did not see this coming. Great Book!!
Great book, great beginning for the series
This is an excellent story about murder, deception and corruption. the ending is exciting and well done.
Real life, very enjoyable. Has a twist at the end
The best book I’ve read so far
Wow, was I surprised! Never expected that ending. Good story, good characters.
Fantastic!
Made me want to read the next one in the series!
This book kept me guessing!
Author has a police background which was obvious.. Suspenseful! Surprise ending. Good read!
Contains unexpected twists!
The book was great! I stayed up all night reading. The ending was totally unexpected. The characters were so believable that when you reach the ending you cannot believe they did it and why they did it.
Loved this book. I thought I had it all figured out but loved the surprises along the way.
Police officers are being targeted and its up to London Carter to find out why. Even though he’s a sniper, he asks to be assigned to the case when the Captain who’d mentored him is gunned down. Its a race against time for him and his partner, Bethany Riggs. They have to learn the truth before another cop dies. This one was full of twists and turns and the ending was a complete shock that left me reeling. A very good story with likeable characters. The only thing I found a bit cheesy was the romance element between Riggs and Carter. It was too quick, they barely knew one another. Other than that it was a good suspenseful read.
Just when you think you have it all figured put, the story twists. It keeps you guessing while engaged and on the edge of your seat!
Book is full of suspense. Could hardly put down until finished. Great read will most likely reread it.
This was a good page turner book. Could not wait to find out each new discovery.
Good read.
