Deadly Target
by Elizabeth Goddard
November 1-30, 2021 Virtual Book Tour
Criminal psychologist Erin Larson’s dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving missing persons cold cases.
Nathan Campbell’s father was investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to enlist Erin’s help to solve the case. She’s good at what she does. The only problem? She’s his ex.
As the two dig deeper, it becomes clear that they, too, are being targeted–and that the answers to their questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and longs to forget.
The race is on for the truth in this gripping and complex tale of suspense, intrigue, and murder from USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard.

My Thoughts:
I only have two disappointments with this book, and honestly, it's more on me than the book. I prefer to start a series with the first book, but within the first third of this one, I was wrapped up in the story.
As a fast-paced reader, my favorite part of romance novels is when the kiss finally happens. But I can appreciate the build-up, too. Elizabeth Goddard is truly an expert at this. Nathan and Erin may have ended their relationship in the traditional sense, yet the heart wants what the heart wants. Their heartstrings are still connected and the slow build of bringing them back together squeezes your heart.
Add in the suspense factor and this is a book that I couldn't get enough of! The twists of novels are often predictable, but not this book. I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster for the first time and didn't see the layout of it beforehand. It caught me off-guard several times!
The underlying message of learning to extend grace and faith in others is ever-present from cover to cover. We all have a past, including mistakes and things we can't necessarily control.
Excellent read and recommended - 5 out of 5 stars! I received a complimentary copy for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.
