Capital Intrigue End Game, Book 1, (Paperback)

Three seemingly unrelated men die, but all in the same unusual way. One is a Navy SEAL, the other an Army Ranger, the third, a civilian. The mystery grows as another military man is targeted as the guilty one, but it is evident to many that he is being framed—or is he? Who is the real killer? Agents Baily Ryan, FBI, and Marco Agostini, NCIS, have teamed up to solve this. Before their work is complete, it is obvious Baily has also been targeted. The web of people involved is so large, it might involve the government itself. As more attempts on lives are made, who can be trusted? The longer they take to figure it out, the bigger the body count becomes. This clean tale is full of action, thrills and many puzzling crimes with lots of twists and turns—with the one behind it difficult to figure out. Characters rely on their faith to get them through dangerous situations, along with life itself. Besides being interesting, the side stories may increase the number on the suspect list. This 5-star book will be enjoyed by fans of adventurous mysteries and suspense. Bethany House Publishing has provided bookreadingtic with a complimentary copy of, End Game, for the purpose of review.

What a fantastic start to a new series! Rachel Dylan kicks it up another notch with End Game, where action and adrenaline flow rapidly as an FBI agent and a NCIS specialist unravel a tightly woven conspiracy that becomes murderous. The plot is detailed and well-constructed with interesting twists and turns and how it all came together at the end was really fascinating. The storyline is easy to follow and each event had me turning the pages a little faster to try to figure out what really happened. Bailey and Marco are both easy to like and cheer for. Bailey, in her structured, regimented way, is relatable and understandable. Marco, in his easy-going, spontaneous way, is quite lovable. The romance did not overshadow the suspense component of the story and balanced out the multiple near-death escapes. If you enjoy romantic suspense, this book is a must-read. I'm anxiously waiting for the next installment! I received a copy of the book from Bethany House and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.
