About Hiding the Witness
Hiding the Witness (Love Inspired Suspense)
Rescuing a child makes her a killer’s target.
Racing into a burning cabin to search for survivors, firefighter Diana Cameron stumbles upon an unconscious child—and two bodies with bullet wounds. When a sniper targets their narrow escape, Diana has no choice but to team up with bodyguard Chase Mitchell to keep the little girl safe. Uncovering the identity of the murder victims is the only way to find the killer. But as they’re chased by gunmen into the mountain wilderness, can they protect a tiny witness from the unknown…when the truth is more sinister than they imagined?
From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.
MY REVIEW:
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Themes of faith, compassion, and hope blend with fast-paced action to make this an outstanding piece of work in the inspirational romantic suspense genre . . .
Firefighter Diana Cameron struggles to overcome the demons and nightmares that still visit her after a traumatic event in her life four years ago. She thought she had moved beyond that tragedy only to find herself thrust into another run for her life.
On her way home from the firehouse one evening, Diana witnesses a loud explosion and eventually enters a burning cabin to do her job. Inside she finds a young girl who is unconscious along with two deceased adults. Her instincts kick into action, and Diana carries the girl to safety.
Chase Mitchell, a former FBI agent, is assigned to act as the bodyguard for Diana and the young child. He appears to be tightly-wound and unfriendly at the outset, but he is dedicated to keeping his two charges safe.
The group of individuals pursuing Diana and the young girl are ceaseless in their attempts to capture the pair. Chase is experienced and skilled at evading assailants, but the villains continue to increase the heat as they grow desperate to catch the trio.
My favorite angle of this story was the compassion and care both Diana and Chase bestowed upon the little girl. They took her safety and well-being into consideration at every turn in the story. Readers will pick up on the tension that both adults exhibit as the story moves forward.
The author masterfully reveals secrets and traumas that Diana and Chase have experienced each in their past at the right and perfect time much to the satisfaction of fans of this genre.
After a seemingly unending string of dangerous events created by the author, the truth is discovered. This plot involves a topical subject, and I feel as if it's not something often discussed in everyday life. The author's choice of this theme leads the main characters to lean on their faith and discuss their personal background experiences allowing them to grow as individuals and as a couple.
This story is completely clean in content and language. I received a copy of this book from the author through Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours. All of my opinions and thoughts shared here are solely my own.
Deena grew up in a small town on the south shore of eastern Long Island, where she met and married her high school sweetheart. She recently relocated to Florida with her husband, three kids, son-in-law, and four dogs. Now she enjoys long walks in nature all year long, despite the occasional alligator or snake she sometimes encounters. Deena's love for writing developed when her youngest son was born and didn't sleep through the night, and she now works full-time as a writer and a freelance editor.
