Shelves: thriller-suspense

The story opens with thirty-two-year-old hostage negotiator, Detective Kit Kenyon, in the middle of a stand-off with a forty-four-year-old man named Virgil Mann who had taken his wife, Ann, and their twelve-year-old daughter, Melanie, as hostages. Kit’s new partner of three weeks, Noah, wasn’t with her as he was tied up at a murder scene. Kit was on her own, although she did have the sharp shooters outside ready at any moment to take the suspect down.

Noah Lambert is a religious man who had a “r...more

I couldn't even begin to describe how anxious I was to read and review the 3rd and final book in the "Women of Justice" Series ~ "A Killer Among Us!" Lynette Eason has quickly become one of my Favorite Christian Suspense Authors for sure! While this book is the last in the series it easily would read as a stand alone however, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you read the other two ~ "Too close to Home," and "Don't Look Back."

Kit Kenyon, is dealing with finding out that she was adopted, specifically finding out that she was a twin. She has met her sisters, and birth parents, even moved to their town. However the anger she feels toward her adoptive parents is costing her. Her relationship with her adoptive mother is suffering, her relationship God is suffering also.
As a police officer, she has to stay focused. Being distracted can cost her, or her partner their lives, so she has to pull it all together, especially now that the case they are on is beginning to look like a serial killer is on the loose.
Noah Lambert loves his job, but he is not happy with the choice of his new partner. He swore he never wanted to work with another woman partner after the last female partner was killed in the line of duty. Noah's faith is a huge part of his life and his job, and finding out that his new partner is struggling with her faith, is another distraction for Noah. Noah and Kit are on the case of the gavel killings. They also are dealing with someone shooting at them. Not only is there a crazed killer out there, it seems that someone is also targeting Noah and Kit, there must be no distractions.
This book was my favorite in the Women of Justice series, having read and reviewed the first two, it was really great to see the familar characters of Jamie (Kit's twin sister) and Samantha and their spouses. The suspense in this book was edge of your seat reading and it will pull you in to the very end of the book. Lynette has wonderfully written this series and you will want to read all three of these books. Even though each book refers to the previous story, you will not be totally lost if you missed one of them. 343 pages US $14.99 5 stars.

If you tune into the show, you will gain some insights into the novel as I ask some pretty tough questions and get to the real heart of the matter with her. You will get the skinny on this intense and enjoyable read. Here is what the novel has in store for you:
“Kit Kenyon is a first-rate hostage negotiator. Noah Lambert is a good detective with excellent instincts. The new partners have hardly had time to get used to each other when they are thrown into a grisly murder case. As evidence mounts up and more victims are found, Kit and Noah realize they are on the hunt for a serial killer. The problem is, he's hunting one of them too.
With nail-biting suspense, clever plot twists, and a hint of sweet romance, A Killer Among Us is the latest thriller from Lynette Eason. It will keep readers up late as they race to discover the killer--and whether Kit and Noah will live to tell about it.”
What are thoughts on the read you ask? You don’t have time to listen to me yap with Lynette? Okay I was totally enamored with the characters, loved her narrative, and enjoyed the prose. I am a sucker for character driven fiction, you know that by now, and this is just that, really good character driven fiction. The thing that also makes me smile as I read this is the Christian bend to it. I love it! How she and other authors of this publisher can carry this off time and time again is just amazing. I applaud them; my ball cap is off to them, and I want to read more of their work. Top to bottom top notch work, not a bummer in the bunch; I don’t hesitate to suggest this read. Enjoy !!
Things have changed around here. I am now the published author by Trestle Press of “Down Low- Dead” with Vincent Zandri, “The Jersey Shore Has Eyes” with Big Daddy Abel”, “G.S.I Gelati’s Scoop Investigations Psychotic Detectives” with Thomas White, “Who Whacked The Blogger” with Benjamin Sobieck,and the soon to be released “Thad and The G-Man’s Most Awesome Adventure” with Thad Brown and “Hotel Beaumont” with B.R.

Hostage negiotiator Kit Kenyon and her partner, Detective Noah Lambert, must hunt the serial killer known only as The Judge. With a few pieces of confusing evidence as their leads in the case, Kit and Noah struggle to stay safe when they become The Judge's next targets. Kit and Noah are targeted for two completely different purposes, but as they devote time and energy to finding the person behind the killings, they discover there is more than a common goal between them. Grisly murders, recently discovered family issues, and her attractive partner keep Kit's mind occupied. Will they find The Judge before he finds them? Can she ever forgive her mother for the past? And will both of them live long enough to consider more than a working relationship?

I enjoyed A Killer Among Us by Lynette Eason. The plot's pace was perfect – not crazy fast, but not boringly slow. As the evidence grew, so did the twists of the plot and the sense of suspense. The characters were well-written, especially Noah Lambert. He managed to be the hero that is often prevalent in Christian fiction, but not in a preachy or stereotypical way. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of romance in the book. Most crime fiction I've read has a only a hint of romance. A Killer Among Us, while not an over-the-top romance, had lovely little romantic moments that led to a beautiful ending.

A Killer Among Us by Lynette Eason is quite descriptive and therefore more poignant than other comparable Christian suspense books. I actually got creeped out during some of the scenes involving The Judge. Because of that, I would not recommend this book to anyone under the age of fifteen. However, if you can handle some gruesome details and a few minutes in the mind of a deranged serial killer, you will probably enjoy this crime suspense novel. Despite the creepiness, I would read it again.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. And, I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the Women of Justice series and Lynette Eason's absolutely FANTASTIC writing skills. She instantly pulls me in to each book and wraps me up in the pages. Each page turn brings more exciting, fast paced suspense. She combines the perfect amount of suspense and romance with the perfect amount of complexity and intensity, and dishes us the best installment of the W of J series yet!

Of course, this story is Kit and Noah's. Lynette does a great job of incorporating ALL the characters into each and every book. Kit and Noah's story is so much more complicated and intense than the first two books, as Kit and Noah become the target of a serial killer. As Noah and Kit hunt for the killer and rack up the clues, the breath taking suspense kept piling up. So many times, I found myself on the edge of my seat. The whirlpool of an amazing plot line kept Noah and Kit in a race against time, as they fought the incredible aspects of mystery and hunted for a mad man on a killing spree. Who will be next?

That's a question that only Lynette's characters can answer. They are FANTABULOUS. She creates them with a unique passion and I find myself, each time, BECOMING the character. I feel myself in the rush of searching for answers, relying on God to help me along the away. INTENSE!!!

I most definitely recommend this. It's by far, THE best Lynette Eason book to date. Worthy of 5 stars and so much more, this is going to the TOP of my favorite action filled, white knuckled Christian suspense list. This novel is PERFECT for an all night read....you will be catapulted to the middle of incredible mystery that doesn't let you go until the very last word. Definitely great stuff for those insomniacs who can't sleep. I was up until 4 am turning page after page.......after page......after page. I can't WAIT until the next amazing novel like this from Lynette Eason(less)

I found it nearly impossible to put down! While this is the first book I have read by Lynette—and the third in a series—I was instantly caught up in the drama and while enough backstory was given so I was never confused, I am now itching to get the two previous books and read of Samantha and Jamie’s adventures in detail! By the time I got to the end of this book, Lynette Eason was firmly written in my list of favorite authors, and A Killer Among Us is now sitting on my “favorites” shelf.

Lynette has some awesome, strong characters! I tried to pick my favorite…but they are all so wonderful! Kit, Noah, Samantha, Connor, Dakota, Jamie...everyone! The Women of Justice series has an amazing cast of characters that you will NOT forget! The two that A Killer Among Us focuses on, Kit and Noah, will instantly grab your heartstrings and not let go. I fell in love with the two! Kit is a brave heroine that I respected and I loved how she didn't have the 'I don't need a man, I'm tough enough to take care of myself' attitude. She was tough, but she respected Noah and relied on him as a partner. Noah made an awesome hero! Totally loved his ‘hard on the outside but sweet on the inside’ personality. My kind of guy!

The storyline was intense. Jumping from one murder scene to the other, the reader never had time to grow bored. Oh no! Not for one minute! I did have a hunch as to who the serial killer was, and was so excited when my hunch proved correct in the end. I love a good mystery! The sweet story between Kit and Noah only adds to this books awesomeness. Never overpowering the mystery or suspense (which is exactly how I like my suspense books) it still had enough tension between these two characters as they each struggled with feelings from their past and each other. While some might think that knowing a person for a little over a month is way too short to be thinking of marriage, when I read all the things they went through in this book, I was not surprised.

I always love a writer who can get me right into the characters head, making me think, feel, and react to exactly what that character is going through…and Lynette did just that! Her writing style was engaging and direct, bringing vividly to life Kit and Noah’s surroundings and emotions. This being a crime thriller where they are tracking down a serial killer, it's obvious that there will be a bit of violence, blood, and gore in here. But it wasn't that bad. At least, not for me. :-) There is once when Kit and Noah uncover that there is an affair going on between two people, and anther time where they discover students using drugs to get through law school...but that was it, as far as questionable content goes. The author handled it well and, as long as the reader is okay with gory scenes, I consider this a very clean book.

I could rant and rave about this wonderful suspense book all day, but let me wrap up in saying…GET THIS BOOK! I am a big lover of suspense, so if that is your favorite genre also, I highly recommend Lynette Eason’s A Killer Among Us! It is well worth the money spent to buy this book! (less)

Kit Kenyon is a first-rate hostage negotiator only just recently arrived in Spartanburg to be with her family. She has been newly partnered with Noah Lambert, a veteran on the force, and there are still sparks as these two clash as they work out their differences. Now there is a serial killer on the loose called The Judge. He has a planned execution for a number of individuals where he will be the Judge, jury and executioner. And either Kit or Noah is on The Judge's list.

"A Killer Among Us" is a thriller, no doubt about it. Kit and Noah's lives are in great danger from page one and the danger grows with the body count. Just when you think you might know where the story is heading Ms. Eason tosses in another turn which you take at high-speed on two wheels. There are so many wonderful themes in this book especially God's love and forgiveness. "A Killer Among Us" reminds us that God never abandons us or forsakes us even when we turn our backs on him! Ms. Eason makes her characters so real and you root for them to complete their mission and you root for their romance to blossom. Ms. Eason knows how to tell a story that keeps you flipping the pages and guessing as to who the bad guys really are. This is a wild ride read and I recommend it highly. While I am sorry that this book concludes the series I am looking forward to Ms. Eason's new series.

This third book in Eason's Women of Justice series combines mystery, romance and Christian fiction all in one. The story is centered around hostage negotiator Kit Kenyon, who is a sister to the main characters in the other two books in the series. Kit's partner is Noah Lambert and together they are in search of a serial killer who is murdering law students at the local college. The plot is engaging, but at times, the dialogue seems a little contrived. All in all, it was a good read.
