The Book Stops Here: A Killer Among Us by Lynette Eason



Kit Kenyon is a first-rate hostage negotiator. Noah Lambert is a good detective with excellent instincts. These new partners have hardly had time to get used to each other when they are thrown into a grisly murder case. As evidence mounts up and more victims are found, Kit and Noah realize they are on the hunt for a serial killer. The problem is, he may be hunting one of them too.

With nail-biting suspense, clever plot twists, and a hint of romance, A Killer Among Us is the latest thriller from Lynette Eason.


I have read Too Close to Home and Don't Look Back and couldn't wait for A Killer Among Us, the third and final installment in Lynette Eason's WOMEN OF JUSTICE series. If you like romantic suspense, this series is for you! My brief review of A Killer Among Us is posted below. A longer, full review will be posted on www.faithfulreader.com in June.

My review:

If you've read the first two books in this series, you remember that Kit Kenyon was introduced in the last book, Don't Look Back. She is front and center in A Killer Among Us as a hostage negotiator. As the synopsis tells us, she and partner Noah Lambert work to find the person who is murdering college students. It soon becomes personal when the killer comes after Kit and Noah.

This book is a fast-paced suspense with great characters. Kit and Noah each have their issues, but Noah is a solid Christian while Kit's relationship with God is shaky, which is explored throughout the story. I loved that Noah was a strong Christian male, not afraid to share his faith. As Noah stressed throughout the book as he handed out business cards directing people to his church pastor, he was reaching out to the lost...one by one. Kit and Noah's chemistry is undeniable, proving that author Lynette Eason definitely know how to build romantic tension.

The only thing that overpowered the romantic element was the thrill factor. It was an exciting plot with plenty of twists and turns. Not that it took away from my enjoyment of the books, but I have to admit that in the first two, I figured out who the killer was quite early on. But A Killer Among Us kept me guessing a little more.

I'm sad that this series has come to an end, but am hoping another suspense series like this one is on Lynette Eason's agenda.

I will post a link to my full review when it is posted next month on www.faithfulreader.com
