"God is teaching me a valuable lesson ... I need to rely on Him more."

Book Review | Lethal Cover-Up by Darlene L Turner

Canada Border Services Agency border patrol officer Madison Steele was adopted as a child, and has recently reconnected with her birth sister … when her sister is murdered. And the murder appears to be tied up with smuggling and dodgy pharmaceuticals. Police constable Tucker Reed is in charge of the investigation, which means he’s working with Madison, the girl who dumped him in high school when he became a Christian.

The novel started with a bang, and the setup was excellent. Madison is still antagonistic towards Christianity, so that meant the novel was going to have an interesting faith arc (and it did, which is always a bonus). However, I didn’t think we needed the added complication of Tucker’s medical diagnosis, and it would be great to read a suspense novel which didn’t involve dirty cops.

While the writing didn’t always shine, the suspense was solid, with plenty of puzzles to work out around the rumours of medical misdoings and dodgy drugs. The pace was fast, and the novel was an easy read with a satisfying ending.

Lethal Cover-Up by Darlene L Turner is solid romantic suspense, with plenty of puzzles around medical misdoings and dodgy drugs. #BookReview #ChristianFiction Share on X

I didn’t enjoy this as much as I enjoyed her previous two novels, Border Breach and Abducted in Alaska, but it was still a solid romantic suspense novel, and I will look forward to next novel.

Thanks to the author for providing a free ebook for review.

"They're after me!" Border patrol officer Madison Steele stiffened at the sound of her sister's frantic voice.

Between the action-packed cover and that first line, how can I resist?
