Lori Crawford's world is turned upside down when her husband dies in a car accident. After twenty-five years of marriage, she thought she would forever live an uncomplicated, happy life with Jack. But just as Lori feels she’s coming out on the other side of her grief, Jack’s assistant at SpringWare, Rita Johnson, discovers information that convinces her that Jack was murdered.
The two women vow to bring the perpetrator to justice. But time is running out, and their names are on someone’s kill list. The truth takes them down a path they never could have suspected. They set out to bring down one of the most powerful men in the country: the director of the National Security Agency. But who will believe them? And how many more will die before they do? Now, they have to decide if they have the courage—and the ability—to finish what they started.
"In my sixty-three years of life, I didn’t know I had a story waiting to be told. As a serial entrepreneur, I founded six different businesses, but I never saw writing on my radar as a seventh.
In 2006, I attended a week-long memoir writing class in Guatemala conducted by Joyce Maynard, an amazing author who’s published 17 books (so far!).
Joyce worked hard to bring out my best work despite my self-perceived lack of talent. It was an awesome experience to be instructed by such a well-known author, but I determined that writing about myself was not a talent I possessed. 😏
The workshop did, however, give me the confidence to write in a more structured way for my profession. I’m a Board Certified Hypnotist. I’ve self-published two non-fiction books, written curriculums, and blogged topical and inspirational content online regularly for the past seven years.
Fifteen years after the Guatemala workshop, I used self-hypnosis to find the inspiration to write something fun. I suppose I should be grateful to Covid for giving me some downtime! As a first-time author, I now understand that I was simply destined to write in a different genre.
I enjoy creating relatable characters and watching the story unfold as I type. Like my readers, I wonder what’s going to happen next. The sequel is already being written as A Knock on the Door is being published. Who knows what words will flow across the screen in the next fifteen years?"
My Thoughts
Lori Crawford will have a difficult time this holiday season after her husband's death in a car accident. They had been married for 25 years so she thought that she knew all there was to know about him.
Life goes on though until Jack's assistant Rita Johnson who works at SpringWare. Rita comes to her and tells her that her husband's death was suspicious, and she thinks that he was murdered. SpringWare is a company that creates video games so what secrets could there be.
Somehow the company is involved with the National Security Agency but why? Rita is sure that there is something nefarious going on. So, Rita and Lori embark on a search to see what they can find out. They are determined to bring the person they suspect to justice. But there are more deaths that are somehow made to look like suicides. But why? Did these people get too close to the truth? The ending will definitely surprise you!
This book had a lot of scary situations, but a book that is very readable. I enjoyed the story a lot and would highly recommend it. A great mystery!
I give it 4 stars.
I received a copy of the book for review purposes only.
