Welcome to Litsy!

These two were perhaps a bit too similar to read back to back. Women police officers concerned as much with their jobs as with newfound questions of faith. Not bad for police procedurals, but didn‘t hook me either. Tagged might be triggering for some since it opens with a shooting incident that prompts our main character to relocate due to negative local publicity. No spoilers but she‘s not portrayed as trigger happy and regrets the incident.

O'Rourke overcomes a the adversity of shooting an unarmed teen. She transfers to a small town and becomes police cheif embroiled in a murder mystery. Janice Cantore has become a new favorite author.

Instead of weaving a characters backstory though the pages Crisis Shot has it all written up front which make the beginning of the novel a little slow. Yet once the back story and main characters are introduced, you jump on a fast paced thrill ride as people go missing, murders are discovered, and lives are changed. Every aspect of the novel, from the small town to the people, was perfect for this type of novel.
