This book was recommended to me by someone who knows how much I loved the Vince Flynn books.Jennifer Chase’s style of writing reminded much of Flynn’s and I liked how easy it was to connect with the main character.A chapter into the book, I stopped reading to buy two more books by this author as I knew I’d found a new favorite writer.I liked the main character Emily- she was intuitive, took action and didn’t let anything (or anyone) get in her way.The additional characters complement the action well and give you some good action packed moments.  I don’t want to give out any spoilers but I just knew who was going to end up in the body bag and was glad the author put the character in it.The dog was a good addition to the story line and made Emily more real in my opinion.The attention to detail throughout was great.  I felt the characters spoke realistically –such as when Jordan was confronted and dropped his backpack, I could see him saying exactly what he said.Red was gritty (and a tad shady and creepy to me).  His underlying nastiness was like a low electric current throughout – you knew it was there and held your breath waiting for him to make his next move.If you like action stories with good police/forensic detail -  I think you will be as sucked in as I found I was.  Rarely do I buy a second (and third) book by an author before finishing the first book- this was a no -brainer to do.Thumbs up!
