Trust means everything…
when danger hits too close to home.
Hunting a never-caught killer, Special Agent Nolan Shea learns of a new victim. But the body on Ava Burke’s land puts her and her young daughter, Rose, in someone’s lethal sights. With a trail of shocking clues pointing to her family’s involvement, Ava starts to question everything she holds dear and is soon desperate to uncover the truth with Nolan. Step after step, they confront their fears. But will finally cornering a murderer out in the wilderness become a trap they can’t escape?
From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.
Never underestimate the protective nature of a mother toward her young.
When a dead woman is found on her family’s land, Ava Burke will do whatever it takes to protect her young daughter, who saw what happened. In Lethal Wilderness Trap, author Susan Furlong pairs Ava with Special Agent Nolan Shea to get answers.
As the investigation unfolds, the author introduces a number of twists that seemingly implicate members of Ava’s family. Is her late husband somehow involved? The past and present collide with a surprising conclusion. Ava’s character has a distinct tendency to jump to conclusions, which often leads her down the wrong path.
Ava and Nolan seem to have good chemistry, but trust becomes a key factor. Because it is an inspirational story, the romance adds a nice touch without overwhelming the mystery aspect.
Lethal Wilderness Trap provides a fast-paced whodunit with a side order of romance.
