Final Approach by Lynette Eason – Action and Suspense with Some Likeable Characters

Final Approach by Lynette Eason is the fourth book in the Lake City Heroes series. 

 

Air Marshal Kristine Duncan is officially off duty.  She and a group of friends are flying down to Key West for vacation.  She is looking forward to some much-needed rest, fun, and spending time with friends.  Hopefully, getting better acquainted with FBI Special Agent Andrew Ross. 

 

Even though she is off duty, out of habit Kristine is scanning fellow passengers.  Everything seems normal until one man catches her attention.  Something seemed off about him.  Suddenly, what should have been a short uneventful flight has become a hijacking.  Thankfully, Kristine’s friends are there to help!  Looks like vacation plans will be put on hold. 

 

I liked having the characters and friendships from earlier books carried over.  I wanted to see their friends have more interaction with Kristine and Andrew.  I appreciated that faith played a part in the story.  At one point Kristine was contemplating how she should respond to her parent considering what the Bible says about how children should honor their parents.  Interesting since the father daughter relationship had some major issues.  I liked Kristine’s care and commitment to her siblings and Andrew’s relationship with his family and seeing him reunite with a friend

 

There’s a lot of action and suspense in this book with several plotlines.  Some are red herrings that dropped off later.  It stretched the imagination, especially Kristine’s story.  I would like to have seen the story with the hijacker’s family, especially his son, resolved more fully.  Would also have liked to have seen the connection between Kristine and Andrew developed more.  Don’t recall if it was focused on in the first three books. 

 

Final Approach by Lynette Eason was action packed and filled with suspense and some likable characters.  Liked some of the other books in Lake City Heroes series more.  But if you are a Lynette Eason fan and like action and suspense, you will want to read Final Approach. 

 

I would like to thank Revell Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a complimentary copy of Final Approach by Lynette Eason.  I was under no obligation to give a favorable review.
