Montana Abduction Rescue by Jodie Bailey

Reviewed by Sandra Merville Hart

Mountain Country K-9 Unit, Book 1

US Marshal Meadow Ames is working hard on a case with team when she receives a text for help from Outsider, code name for Ian Carpenter who’d been in hiding from men trying to kill him. They’d nearly been successful two years before. She drops everything to help and takes her K-9 dog, Grace, to rush to Ian’s aid.

Ian Carpenter regrets asking for Meadow’s aid because he’s now placed her in danger. He wouldn’t have risked returning except that his niece has asked for his help. But before he can talk to his niece, she is kidnapped.

This author is a master at building suspense. I can barely turn pages fast enough. I couldn’t put the book down!

The characters were likeable and their emotional past trauma is believable. I was drawn into their plight from the first page. The story gripped me and didn’t let go.

Highly recommended for suspense readers!

A Mac & Sam Mystery Series, Book 3

Private Investigator Mackenzie Love witnesses a thief running away from a robbery in a park. A body is found that same day. She and fellow investigator Sam are hired to recover items stolen from a time capsule. They need customers to keep their business afloat so they agree, little knowing the danger.

Detective Jake Sanders is assigned to the case and then learns his feisty girlfriend Mac is a witness. Since she’s investigating the crime for a client, the two work separately and share findings with one another.

Escalating mystery and danger at every turn kept me turning pages. Many twists and turns held my interest. Danger faced by multiple characters that I’d grown to love had me on the edge of my seat.

This suspenseful story will keep readers turning pages. Recommended for those who enjoy mystery and suspense novels!

I received an advanced copy from the author and happily endorsed the book. All opinions are my own.
