Crisis Shot
Crisis Shot | Janice Cantore
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Tess O’Rourke dreams of becoming the first female chief of police in Long Beach, California. As commander of the East Division, she is well on her way . . . until the night she responds to an officer-needs-assistance call and fatally shoots an unarmed teenager. Despite being cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury, Tess is so hounded by the public that she takes a job in Oregon to escape the bad press. Winning over the residents of Rogue’s Hollow might be more difficult than adjusting to her new role as police chief in the small, backwater town. Especially when her closest friend, the pastor’s wife, goes missing and the woman’s cousin is found shot. Tess finds an ally in sheriff’s deputy Steve Logan, but as they track down Rogue’s Hollow’s first murderer, she worries that she’s breaking one of her rules and getting too close to him.

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.
