Book Review: In Harm's Way by Irene Hannon

 

 Summary:
 FBI special agent Nick Bradley has seen his share of kooks during his fifteen years with the Bureau. But Rachel Sutton is an enigma. She seems normal when she shows up at the FBI office in St. Louis--until she produces a tattered Raggedy Ann doll she found and tells him she thinks something is wrong because of a strange feeling of terror it gives her when she touches it. Nick dismisses her, only to stumble across a link between the doll and an abducted child, setting in motion a chain of events that uncovers startling connections--and puts Rachel's life on the line. 


My Review:
Irene Hannon closes her phenomenal series "Heroes of Quantico" with "In Harm's Way". In her concluding novel, we finally get to see Nick fall in love like his two best friendsk, who the previous two books were about, Mark and Coop.

But it isn't the ideal boy-meets-girl situation.

Hannon grips us immediately with the opening prologue. A young infant is kidnapped. Said infant owns a treasured Raggedy Ann doll, which is promptly discarded by the kidnapper. Said Raggedy Ann doll is found in a frozen patch of snow by our heroine, Rachel Sutton.

On contact the doll gives Rachel bad vibes. And she's not a believer in the paranormal. So, after mustering up some courage she brings the doll to the FBI. Where she’s introduced to our lovely Special Agent Nick Bradley. Again, it's not an ideal boy-meets-girl scenario.

Nick explains how they cannot do much with the information but offers to give her a follow-up in the event something happens. Rachel, feeling she's losing her sanity, goes home and tries to forget about it.

But sadly, that is not the case. As it turns out, a nosy, eager, and very weird reporter overheard Rachel's story. From there she stalks poor Rachel and publishes in a tabloid all about Rachel's "psychic" ability and work with the FBI....

This draws Nick and Rachel together again to handle the situation. The two end up sharing dinner as they discuss the case and learn more about each other.

I thoroughly agree with the phrase, "the plot thickens" it seems very accurate to "In Harm's Way" and about every other Irene Hannon novel I've read.

I will draw the line here and bring the review to a close; I don't want to spoil anyone too badly. But if you choose to read this book brace yourself for twists and unexpected turns that will keep you reading all night!

This is a series I recommend to all my friends and readers.
