This is the third book that I have read in the Brady Novel of Suspense series and like the two before, I really enjoyed it.

Joanna Brady has been elected as the new Sheriff of Cochise County. One of the first things that she needs to do is take a crash course in police training.  Jumping into the role of Sheriff is just that, jumping into something that she doesn't know anything about, especially safety.  She is scheduled to begin her training the week of Thanksgiving. That might seem like a strange time to begin, but with the death of her husband, Andy, just two short months before, it made the most sense for her. Who wants to be home during the holidays, without your soul mate by your side?

As Joanna begins her training, life at home seems to be running right on track. Her in-laws are caring for her daughter Jenny, and all three of them will come down to Peoria the day before Thanksgiving to share the holiday with Joanna. Simple plan right? But things will take a strange turn for the worse, just as the eve of Thanksgiving gets closer.

Pay close attention as you read any of J.A. Jance's books. She has a way of telling her tale so that, before you know it, the end of the book is just a few pages away and you had no idea who the bad guy was until then.  As with the previous books, this one is fast paced, yet written well and a great story.  I can't wait to read the next one!
