I enjoyed reading Deadlock by DiAnn Mills greatly. It is the story of Special Agent Bethany
Sanchez of the FBI and her new partner Special Agent Thatcher Graves as they
investigate the murder of Alicia Javon.
In order to do this they must first determine whether the murder was
simply made to resemble another murder that took place three weeks prior, but
actually has no connection with it whatsoever (as Bethany believes); or if it
is the work of a serial killer (as Thatcher believes). These agents must learn to overcome their differences
in order to solve this murder, but it might just be impossible for them to do
this because they have so many. Bethany
is analytical and by the book, Thatcher is a maverick and prefers to follow his
gut instinct; however, they do try their hardest to overcome these differences which
I found rather refreshing. Often when
you read a book about two characters who do not like each other they try their
best to be a hindrance to the other, but that was not the case in this book as Bethany
and Thatcher really do try their best to work together and be good partners.
The one problem I had with this
story is that the dialogue was rather spontaneous. The characters will randomly go from
discussing one thing to suddenly changing the subject and talking about
something totally different. I understand
that Thatcher is a very spontaneous character and so would probably speak in
this way, but I still found it a little hard to follow at some parts.
On a whole I really liked this
book. I found it interesting and suspenseful. It also put me in the mind of the TV show Forever and believe that fans of Forever would probably enjoy this book
(I know I did).
I received a copy for an honest
review from The Book Club Network, Inc. and the opinions are my own honest
ones.
