The Kill List by Nichole Christoff Plus Give Away

As a top private eye turned security specialist, Jamie Sinclair has worked hard to put her broken marriage behind her. But when her lying, cheating ex-husband, army colonel Tim Thorp, calls with the news that his three-year-old daughter has been kidnapped, he begs Jamie to come find her. For the sake of the child, Jamie knows she can’t refuse. Now, despite the past, she’ll do everything in her power to bring little Brooke Thorp home alive.

Soon Jamie is back at Fort Leeds—the army base in New Jersey’s Pine Barrens where she grew up, the only child of a two-star general—chasing down leads and forging an uneasy alliance with the stern military police commander and the exacting FBI agent working Brooke’s case. But because Jamie’s father is now a U.S. senator, her recent run-in with a disturbed stalker is all over the news, and when she starts receiving gruesome threats echoing the stalker’s last words, she can’t shake the feeling that her investigation may be about more than a missing girl—and that someone very powerful is hiding something very significant . . . and very sinister.

My review:

Three Stars

Copy received from TLC Book Tours for an honest review

Since I never read Nichole Christoff I was not sure what to expect. The action/ suspense aspect of the story grabbed my interest. I thought that the author was able to balance well developed characters with an intriguing story line. I was constantly wondering what would happen next and how the story line would unravel. I liked that she created a well balanced political thriller because I was constantly waiting for the next aspect of the story to play out. I really enjoyed this story and recommend to any one that is looking for well developed characters coupled with edge of your seat story line.
