Avenged

Finished number 3 in the Pacific Coast Justice series and this too was a "winner".  I have enjoyed each one of Janice Cantore's books immensely.  She is a retired police officer and her books hint at the type of work she did and I can see Carly Edwards as her in these books.  They are written to entertain as well as show you the backstage of law enforcement and she throws in suspense to boot.

Carly Edwards comes upon three gangbangers shot execution style and fears that her city might be on the verge of a gang war. To compound the tension Carly finds weapons from a gang leader and finds out they were stolen from a military base.  She and her husband Nick, head of the gang unit, are trying to find out the culprits behind all of these problems.  In her investigation, her reputation is questioned by a reporter trying to discredit her professionally. 

I found myself thinking I knew the culprit, then he was murdered off, so I went after another one and guessed wrong again. Loved the cat and mouse of the storyline, but loved that Carly's faith and trust in God had grown since the last book. She was fighting God for control in her life and finally figured out to "let go and let God".  Loved how Nick and Carly have grown as individuals and a couple since the last book.  I hate to see this series end since Nick and Carly were such great characters with lots of flaws that all of us have.  Pick up her Pacific Coast Justice series and you will not be disappointed-promise
