Pre-Owned Covert Cover-Up by Goddard; Elizabeth Paperback, Textbooks, English

Neighbor helping neighbor turns into a race for their lives! As a former law enforcement specialist, turned private investigator, Katelyn Bradley has experienced many different scenarios but this one seems to be stretching her to the limit. We start with a burglary, then attempted murder, accidents, fire, shootouts and kidnapping - by now I am suspecting everyone, even Beck, who hired her! This incredible story keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering which shoe will drop next! The romantic attraction between Katelyn and Beck just adds to the tension, particularly when he disagrees with many of her more experienced decisions. Will they manage to get out of this without further loss of life? An ARC was received through Love Inspired Suspense and NetGalley. The impressions and comments are my own and were in no way solicited.

Katelyn Bradley is a good private investigator but she tends to focus on the "private" and prefers to work alone. This can be a problem when your family is involved in law enforcement and you are prone to take risks! Beck Goodwin is clearly a marked man but it's unclear just why. He suspects that his late wife may have been a victim of evil but was she also unfaithful to their marriage vows? Katelyn steps in to help him figure it out, but will her aid come too late? Are Beck and his young son Ollie in extreme danger? Some of the characters from Deadly Evidence, the first book in the Mount Shasta Secrets series, make appearances in Covert Cover-Up, but this is a book that can easily be read alone. Katelyn and Beck are both intriguing characters who've both been hurt by past relationships and I enjoyed seeing how they work to overcome them. Is it possible for two damaged people to find a happy future? Could it be together? Non-ending action, intense danger, and an intriguing mystery make this a book that you won't want to put down and there is also a light faith element that offers inspiration. Covert Cover-Up is another entertaining story from Elizabeth Goddard and I recommend it to all who enjoy Christian romantic suspense. I received a copy of this book from the publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own opinions.
