Lynette Eason

Dear Readers,

Lynette Eason is part of a rapidly growing genre dubbed “Romantic suspense.”  She hit the ground running with her first book Don’t look Back 5 short years ago.  Her newest book No Place to Hide is book #3 in the Hidden Identity series and I have had a very difficult time keeping it on the shelves here at the bookstore.  She has gained popularity because of her fans recommending her to everyone.

Jackie Sellers has two thoughts when she sees her childhood friend’s face plastered all over the new shows.  First he didn’t do what he is accused of and secondly how can she find him to help him.   She knows she need to help in any way possible, even if it means talking him into turning himself in.  Once she catches up with Ian, Jackie realizes that he is innocent and they must run for their lives.  Quickly.  Not only is the FBI after them so are the bad guys, the very bad guys and they won’t let anything or anyone stand in their way. 

As the body count starts to rise, Ian and Jackie with the help of her friends at Operation Rescue stay just one step of the killers.  But they are struggling to prove Ian’s innocent and still figure out what the code for that strange text he got.  What does it all mean and why do the bad guys want Ian dead so bad.

Fast paced, edge of your seat ready, Lynette writes the type of book that make you wish you could read faster.  You just have to know if they are going to be okay while telling yourself “of course they will be fine, what author would kill off her main character.”  I don’t know about you but that never works,  I still need to race to the end to find out what really happens and to make sure the bad guys get what they deserve. 

I enjoy reading Lynette’s books for that reason, they make me want to finish and when done, I am ready for the next one.  Maybe she could write a little faster… J

Happy Reading,

P.S. Lynette will be in our store on Thursday May 28th at 7:00pm.  She will be speaking and signing her books for you.

Dear Readers,
Lynette Eason was mentored by Dee Henderson. Too Close to Home is the result of that work. If Dee isn't going to be writing any more, this is a good alternative. It is the first of a three book series, at least I think it will be three books.

Conner Wolfe is losing his daughter. He just doesn't know it yet. He thinks they are at odds because of his new case. Girls are going missing and then a year or so later turning up dead. Who is the psycho killer and why does it take him so long to kill the girls? Now the killer has his eye on Jenna.

Samantha is the FBI's best computer forensic expert. She loves what she does, most days and most cases. This one on the other hand is driving her crazy. Why is there no trace of any activity between the killer and the missing teen on her computer or her phone? What is the common denominator between them all? Why is he always one step ahead of them?

As the team gets closer, the killer steps up the violence. Will they be able to catch him before any more girls disappear?

Like I said before, this is a great book for Dee fans. It has her fingerprints all over it and yet Lynette has her own flair to the story too. It made for an interesting read. It is fast paced and can keep you guessing all the way to the end. Even though I had guessed who the killer was early on the story itself had a few twists to it. Which of course made for a very good read.
I love that publishers are getting on the bandwagon of these romantic mystery books without them being too sticky with romance. Ok so it is very strong in this book, but I still liked it.
Happy Reading
