About the Book

Title: 70 North 

Series: Alaskan Cyber Hunters #3 

Author: Kimberley Woodhouse 

Publisher: Kregel Publications 

Release Date: October 15, 2024 

Genre: Christian Mystery & Suspense

The Cyber Solutions team has managed to stay one step ahead of the madman who has killed so many. From the original 26 Below cyberattack in Fairbanks to the 8 DOWN serial murders in Anchorage and beyond, they matched wits with the killer and stopped him from reaching his ultimate goals.

But final judgment is coming. And this time, there may be no defeating him. 

David "Mac" McPherson has a personal stake in making sure this predator stays down for good. His family died in the cyberattack. Mac knows that God says "vengeance is mine"—but surely an exception can be made. 

Surgeon Tracie Hunter is determined to stay sober and keep saving lives in Fairbanks, Alaska—even if it means being a little obsessive. After all, that same kind of determination is how she kept Mac alive after the murderer targeted him. And she won't let Mac run himself into the grave looking for payback; he's come to mean too much to her. 

Then someone hacks into the system at Tracie's previous job as a medical examiner and frames her in a murder cover-up. There's no one else skilled enough to create a digital trail this incriminating—the killer is back in action, exploiting cybersecurity weaknesses to destroy lives. Can Mac stay focused and stop the next attack when his own vulnerability is exposed? Or will his need to make someone pay for his pain allow the maniac to pull ahead and win at last?

My Thoughts:

I have been a fan of author Woodhouse's historical fiction for a while now. I was a little late to the realization that she has also written a series of suspenseful thrillers. Well, better late than never, I started with the third book in the series. And let me tell you, the evil genius in this series is so very hard to stop. The author does let us get into his mind, his thinking, his motives as some of the chapters are told from his point of view. It is also so very scary at how plausible this could happen in real life.

The two main characters are broken people. David McPherson, who goes by Mac, has lost his wife and daughter to this madman. Mac is bent on revenge, so much that it colors everything he does. He lives for nothing else, and that was hard to see. He needs to let go and go back to his faith, or this revenge seeking spirit will kill him.

Surgeon Tracie Hunter, who puts Mac back together, has her own demons in the closet. She was an alcoholic, yet she still struggles every day. When her world that she thought she was in control of begins to crumble, she needs not only Mac and his team's help, but God's as well.

This was an intense read with fallen heroes and a strong faith element throughout. I also really enjoyed the author's notes before the story even began on her thoughts about AI. That was a powerful message in and of itself. Will there be more in this series? I hope so. Wink, wink.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review, and all views and opinions are my own.
