Deadly Target continues Elizabeth Goddard’s Rocky Mountain Courage series with high stakes and heart-pounding suspense.
Book Blurb
Criminal psychologist Erin Larson’s dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving missing persons cold cases.
Nathan Campbell’s father was investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to enlist Erin’s help to solve the case. She’s good at what she does. The only problem? She’s his ex.
As the two dig deeper, it becomes clear that they, too, are being targeted–and that the answers to their questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and longs to forget.
The race is on for the truth in this gripping and complex tale of suspense, intrigue, and murder from USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard.
My Thoughts
This book had me hooked from the beginning. Goddard is really good at drawing you into the story with action. And with Deadly Target, she has characters that really tug at your heart.
I think that’s what made this book such a winner for me. The first in the series, Present Danger, was good but not as good as I was expecting for some reason. It could’ve been the mood I was in when I read it or something else entirely. But Goddard has such good books, I couldn’t give up the opportunity to read this one. I’m so glad I didn’t.
Erin and Nathan’s relationship was so well developed, I almost felt like I was their friend cheering for them from the sidelines. Their emotions come across so well on the page that I felt their struggle as they tried to piece together the mysteries that hounded them.
And the way Goddard brought all of those pieces together…brilliant. That’s all I can say. I never once saw it coming.
Overall, Deadly Target is an enthralling read perfect for suspense fans and second chance romance enthusiasts.
