Trapped Book Review

Private Justice Series

Book Two

SUMMARY:  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.

REVIEW:  Darcy, thinking her older half-sister is too strict and wanting to just get away, runs away for what she thinks will be greener pastures.  But, after a massive snowstorm hits the city, Darcy finds out quickly that living on the street is dangerous in more ways than one and someone she thinks she can trust turns out to be the devil in disguise.

     Irene Hannon does not disappoint her readers in her latest novel.  She has you sitting on the edge of your seat, anxious to turn the page, trying to guess what happens next.  This is a great book and, even though it is the second in the A Private Justice series, it does a fantastic job on its own.  So many times I thought about having my twelve-year-old daughter read it to see what Darcy goes through and seeing how much Laura cares for her, but, even though the intense scenes are absolutely necessary, it is a little too much for her right now.
     If you like suspense novels, this is one for you. Check it out.
