About the book:
No one needs to
push Nikki Boyd to excel on the Tennessee Missing Persons Task Force. The case
of her own missing sister, still unsolved after ten years, is the driving force
in her work. When a Polaroid photo of a missing girl shows up at a crime scene,
Nikki quickly recognizes similarities to the past. The closer she gets to the
abductor, the more she feels this case has become personal, and she is not the
hunter . . . but the hunted.
With this
explosive first book in The Nikki Boyd Files, award-winning author Lisa Harris
takes you on a fast-paced pursuit of justice that will have you holding your
breath until the heart-stopping finish.
My review:
This is a
fantastic romantic suspense novel!
I thoroughly
enjoyed both Nikki Boyd and Tyler Grant from the very beginning of the book.
They are each dealing with grief and trying to figure out how to deal with that
while continuing with all that they have to do to carry on with life. They have
a fairly long term friendship already and they are able to work together as
sounding boards for each other through this process. A couple of issues they
discuss are blaming themselves and holding onto their belief in God.
The main
storyline is the abduction of a teenage girl and trying to solve the case. It
is very well crafted with lots of twists and turns in it. We are left guessing
until very late in the book. Then when the perpetrator is revealed the suspense
doesn’t end right away. We still have to wait to see how he is caught and the
finding of the missing girl.
There were a
couple of points that the repetition about Sarah’s abduction in the past pushed
the limits. Sometimes it didn’t give additional information about it and just
repeated what had been said before. This didn’t detract from the story for me
so I haven’t let it affect my star rating.
I’m really
looking forward to seeing what comes for Nikki in the rest of this series. Too
bad I have to wait for Lisa Harris to write those books.
