Review – Trapped

Irene Hannon in her new book “Trapped” Book Two in the Private Justice series published by Revell Books takes us into the lives of Laura Griffith and James Devlin

From the back cover:  A runaway teen, a desperate sister, and an intrepid PI determined to discover the truth

When Laura Griffith’s sixteen-year-old sister disappears on a frigid February day, leaving only a brief note behind, Laura resolves to do whatever it takes to track down the runaway teen. That includes recruiting ATF agent turned private investigator James Devlin to help. Dev knows time is of the essence with runaways–just forty-eight hours can mean the difference between recovery and ruin.

But the deeper he and Laura dig, the more Dev begins to suspect that something sinister is at work in the girl’s disappearance. And in the icy winter weather, the trail is going cold . . .

In her latest thrilling read, queen of romantic suspense Irene Hannon outdoes herself with a fast-paced tale of fear, deception, and just the right dose of romance.

Whenever I see Irene Hannon’s name on a book I know that I am in for a very exciting read.  And with “Trapped” I think she far outshines in the excitement category.  I think this is Ms. Hannon’s best work so far, she just keeps getting better and better.  As soon as you say search and rescue to me the story takes on a new level of danger.  The search is on to find Laura’s sister and finding her is not going to be easy especially with the storm coming.  All of the characters are so well written you begin to think that you have known them all your life and you certainly want them to succeed.  With “Trapped” Ms. Hannon has given us a thriller that becomes more and more exciting until the last hundred pages which is an extremely wild ride.  All I can say is imagine going on a roller coaster; the beginning of the ride is calm until you get to the top and experience that first drop then it is nothing but twists, turns, upside down loops until the ride ends.  This is what Ms. Hannon does to us as readers with this book.

This is a fun read, it is a fast read, however I do not recommend starting this book late at night because it will cost you sleep as you will not want to put it down.  Ms. Hannon is an excellent writer and knows how to twist your nerve endings as she tightens the suspense.  I recommend this book, and everything else that Ms. Hannon has written, highly!!
