A pacemaker should have saved oil and gas magnate Nathan
Moore’s life. Instead, it provided his killer with a seemingly perfect means of
execution.
A bombing at one of Nathan’s oil rigs days earlier indicates
his death could be part of a bigger conspiracy, a web Special Agent Tori
Templeton must untangle. But her first order of business is separating the
personal from the professional—the victim’s wife, her best friend, is one of
the FBI’s prime suspects.
Clearing Sally’s name may be the biggest challenge of her
career, but Tori finds an unexpected ally in the newest member of the task
force, recently reinstated Deputy US Marshal Cole Jeffers. As Tori and Cole dig
deeper into Nathan’s personal and business affairs, they uncover more than they
bargained for. And the closer they get to finding the real killer—and to each
other—the more intent someone is on silencing them for good.
My Thoughts:
Deep Extraction
was a very detailed and gripping thriller that was hard to put down for any
length of time. We have a family tragedy
that from the outside looks like an accident, but digging deeper the facts are
coming out and suggesting murder. In
steps Cole Jeffers, a US Marshall, and Tori Templeton, FBI, who both happen to
be very close friends to the murder victim, Nathan Moore and his family. Those two had yet to meet, they are now
meeting for the first time as a team to clear this family’s name and uncover
the real culprits.
This story was definitely an emotional one as this family is
not only dealing with the death of their husband/father but finding out that he
was not always who they thought he was.
I felt for his wife, Sally and their two teenage sons as the outside
trappings of their father was peeled away and they must come face to face for
the first time with the type of man he was.
And they really had no way to confront him on this side of heaven to get
some closure for what he did and to try to restore the relationships.
I enjoyed watching the sparks fly between Cole and Tori, at
first due to distrust, then later attraction. They made a great team together,
not only their banter but the fact that they had each other’s backs too. I thought this novel had just the right
pacing; short enough chapters to keep us on our toes and wanting more and yet
gave us time to catch our breath. This
was a rather complex mystery with a lot of moving parts that the team really
had to dig through, even while more victims were piling up and they were
fighting for their lives as well.
This was a well done romantic suspense and I think my favorite
so far by author Mills.
