Drawing Fire by Janice Cantore

I read and enjoyed one of this author's previous series, so I was pretty sure I would like this one too. The fact that the cover was really appealing also helped. The story is based around Abby, a homicide detective, and Luke, a private investigator. Both are trying to make sense of a tragic event in their past and find justice. Both are determined and have been working toward their goal for years. Through an odd twist of coincidence, the two find out their pasts are intimately intertwined. Despite each being overworked with other pressing cases, they begin working together to solve their past. Abby experiences pressure from her fiance and everyone close to her to stop her investigation, but Luke understands and helps her.  The story takes some unexpected twists and turns which keep the reader guessing and keeps the pace moving. I thought the action and suspense were well paced. The romantic elements were slight but added interest to the story. Overall, it was a great police suspense with Christian elements which read true to real life without the awkwardness some Christian novels have. While most of the storyline wrapped up at the end, a few remaining threads were left dangling to lead into the next book. I am really interested to see what happens next.

I was provided an ARC through Net Galley for review.
