Review: On the Edge of Trust by Patricia Bradley

About the Book
Sometimes the closer you get to justice, the deadlier it becomes

When decorated FBI undercover agent Scott Sinclair suffers a gunshot wound in his right arm, the injury threatens his future career in the field. He is determined to regain his former job by training himself to use his left hand, and failure is not an option--especially when he's unofficially pulled into an investigation.

Tori Mitchell is a passionate crime reporter and podcaster who has dedicated her life to seeking justice. Her relentless pursuit of the truth has freed a wrongfully convicted man from prison, making Tori an enemy of the true killer. When her nephew is accused of a different murder, nothing can stop her from getting involved and clearing his name.

Soon after Tori and Scott reconnect on the case, shots are fired, leaving them to wonder which of them has been targeted. As the investigation intensifies, so do the threats and the sparks between them, but Tori's doubtful if she can extend grace and trust to Scott. They'll have to combine their skills and rely on their growing relationship to outsmart the killer.

Perfect for fans of Lynette Eason, Lynn H. Blackburn, Elizabeth Goddard, and readers who love faith-based fiction and edge-of-your-seat thrillers, this riveting, clean romantic suspense delivers heart-pounding danger and forced-proximity romance.


MY THOUGHTS

This book had a truly gripping opening chapter that hooked me and didn’t let go until the very last page. I couldn’t read it fast enough!

True Crime podcaster Tori Mitchell helped free an innocent man. With the real killer still out there, will she become their next target? Tori is also trying to help prove that her nephew didn't commit a murder. I admired Tori’s tenacity for finding the truth. I also really enjoyed the podcasting scenes. I wouldn’t have minded more of them.

I really liked Scott. I enjoyed seeing his grit and determination in not only trying to get his job back with the FBI after being shot. But also, in his commitment to sobriety. It was also inspiring to see his trust and reliance on the Lord.

I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it to fans of heart-pounding and faith-filled romantic suspense. Even though this is book five in a series I haven’t read, I had no trouble at all diving in. It stands alone perfectly fine.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
