Double Take by Lynette Eason

Aug8

Gripping, Glued & Guessing

Double Take by Lynette Eason is the first book in a fabulous new series called Lake City Heroes. It is a contemporary Christian novel that gripped me from the start.

Lynette Eason is the master of the suspense novel, reeling the reader in from the start. We learn that there is a killer targeting the lead character. It appears that someone is back from beyond the grave, but how can that be? Do eyes deceive what a head thinks it knows?

The reader is glued and guessing throughout. Even we do not know if the killer is who they appear to be. Or is the victim so traumatized that her mind is tricking her? Grab yourself a copy of the book and see if you can work it out.

We see characters suffering from PTSD as they carry baggage from the past. God longs for us to hand our burdens up to Him. He wants us to trust Him even when we cannot trust ourselves. Sufferers from PTSD need love and support in order to heal too.

Countdown by Lynette Eason

Mar16

Thrilling

Countdown by Lynette Eason is a thrilling contemporary Christian suspense that I just could not put down. It is the fourth book in the Extreme Measures series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Once again, Lynette Eason has crafted a well thought out and executed plotline that has the reader glued and guessing as we try to join the dots. The action comes thick and fast as the past collides with the present.

All our choices have consequences, sometimes with far reaching effects. “She … wished she could go back in time to make different decisions.” We cannot alter the past but we can learn from our poor choices.

There is the theme of trust. Life has dealt some hard blows. A character prefers to trust no one but herself, not even God – but living life in isolation can be very lonely. She realizes she has to “consciously make the choice to trust God.” We can trust God with our lives. He will never let us down. Even when we don’t see Him working or feel His presence, God is there, walking beside us.

Thrilling

Life Flight by Lynette Eason is an absolutely marvellous contemporary Christian crime thriller and the first book in the Extreme Measures series. I cannot wait for the subsequent books.

The action is fast paced and more than a little creepy as we witness the hunt for an escaped death row inmate. There are many twists and turns. Twisted lives are strangely magnetised and drawn towards a serial killer as copycat crimes begin to appear.

The characters are all well drawn and realistic. The leading lady was brave and gutsy. There were creepy characters who made your blood run cold.

Explosive Force by Lynette Eason

Dogs Are Family Too

Explosive Force by Lynette Eason is an exciting Christian contemporary suspense. It is part of the Military K9 Unit series but can be read as a stand-alone. I have not read the other books in the series that are by a variety of authors.

The search is on for a killer but along the way there are shootings and explosions. Someone is out to silence a military reporter.

Jealousy within the workplace means that trust is in short supply. The truth is buried as the lies rise to the surface.

There are strong family ties within the military as sons and daughters continue the family lines in the same roles as their fathers and grandfathers.
