When one of your colleagues is killed in a home invasion, it’s easy to think it’s a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But when three of your colleagues die in a year, then someone tries to run you off the road, then it’s easy to start thinking something more suspicious is happening.
Catilyn Lindsey works for a pharmaceutical company, and she’s getting suspicious. She gets even more suspicious when someone runs her car off the road and she barely survives. Caitlyn persuades Josh Solomon, a police detective who is also the widower of the first of Caitlyn’s colleagues to die, to help her investigate. Josh isn’t convinced at first, but it doesn’t take long before the inconsistencies pile up.
Someone is clearly after Caitlyn, and it doesn’t take long before Josh is in trouble too. It’s a great ticking clock chase novel, as Caitlyn and Josh work to find the evildoer … and find the truth.
Deadly Intentions was typical Lisa Harris, a fast-paced thriller with strong and intelligent characters.
It definitely kept me turning the pages (well, flicking the forward button on the Kindle) to get to the end and make sure Caitlyn and Josh both survive …
Deadly Intentions is another gripping Christian romantic suspense novel from Mozambique-based author and missionary Lisa Harris. #ChristianFiction #BookReview Share on XThere is also a romantic thread, and that’s possibly more compelling than the suspense thread. Josh is obviously a widower who lost his wife in tragic circumstances. But Caitlyn has her own issues as well, and one of the strengths of the novel is watching her work through those issues, with Josh’s help. There is also a strong Christian element, as both Caitlyn and Josh are Christians who have to work through where God is in the tough times.
Overall, Deadly Intentions is just what Christian romantic suspense should be.
It’s a great suspense plot, a heroic hero and a hardworking and intelligent heroine, both with a desire to seek justice and put God and others first. Recommended.
