Book Description:
Investigative Services Branch (ISB) ranger Ainsley Beaumont arrives in her
hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, to investigate the murder of a
three-month-pregnant teenager. While she wishes the visit was under better
circumstances, she never imagined that she would become the killer's next
target--nor that she'd have to work alongside an old flame.
After he almost killed a child, former FBI sniper Lincoln Steele couldn't bring
himself to fire a gun, which had deadly and unforeseen consequences for his
best friend. Crushed beneath a load of guilt, Linc is working at Melrose Estate
as an interpretive ranger. But as danger closes in on Ainsley during her murder
investigation, Linc will have to find the courage to protect her. The only
question is, will it be too little, too late?
My Thoughts:
I've enjoyed the books in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series. Crosshairs is
the best one yet. Filled with suspense from start to finish, Bradley kept me on
the edge of my seat, as I kept turning pages. Ainsley is a strong protagonist,
set on making things right for her aunt and grandmother, even though she is in
danger. Linc is scarred by his past, but he cares for Ainsley and wants to
protect her, even when he thinks he can't. The many twists and turns kept me
guessing who the killer was up to the end of the book. If you enjoy a good suspense
story in a unique setting, you'll enjoy Crosshairs. I received a complimentary
copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
