I
love a good mystery filled with intrigue and interesting characters. I hit the target with Drawing Fire by author Janice
Cantore who is a former Long Beach police officer. This is the first book I’ve read by Janice Cantore and I look forward to
reading her earlier books.
Drawing Fire is filled with suspense and lots of action, but
not at the expense of character development.
I really liked the characters and learning about what drives them and makes
them tick. The story takes place in Long
Beach, California. Having lived in So
Cal for many years it was fun to read about the various locations and visualize
the scenes.
I
appreciate when a Christian author weaves their faith into the characters and
storyline. I thought that Janice did a
good job in showing what a loving and supportive Christian community can be
like. It wasn’t contrived but flowed
naturally as we learn about the characters and see them interact in everyday
life and in crisis situations.
At
the end of Drawing Fire there are twelve discussion questions which can be
used for a book club or the individual reader.
I found the questions compelling as I remembered the characters and
storyline and wondered how I might have responded.
When
Drawing
Fire concludes the readers will know who done it, but things aren’t
neatly and perfectly tied up, which is kind of like real life. It proves to be a good stopping off point
because the characters will be continued in the next book of the Cold
Case Justice series. That’s a
book I will want to read.
I
would like to thank Tyndale Publishers
for the opportunity to read Drawing Fire by Janice Cantore in
exchange for an honest review. I was
under no obligation to give a favorable review.
