When I sit down with a new book from author Carla Cassidy, I
know that I will be in for an entertaining suspenseful read,
and therefore was looking forward to reading her newest book
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
Jordan Sampson thought that when she finished high school,
and moved on to college her career path was established.
Then one night her sister was brutally murdered, and Jordan
dropped out of college and came home to try and assist her
parents with their grief. Little could be done by Jordan in
the grief department, but a new career path was set. She
decided to become a police officer, with her eye on the goal
of being a homicide detective.
Now a highly respected member of the homicide squad Jordan's
newest case once again strikes a little too close to home.
Someone is brutally murdering members of Jordan' high school
cheerleading squad, and it is up to Jordan and her team to
solve the murder before Jordan becomes a victim.
Murder isn't the only problem facing Jordan. She also has
to try and understand why her preteen daughter would rather
live with Dane, her ex-husband than with her, and resolve
her issues about Clint, a high school boyfriend with whom
she recently reconnected, and who is now pushing for a
committed adult relationship.
Ms. Cassidy might not write suspense the most spine
tingling, nightmare producing suspense books on the market,
but they are in my opinion amongst the most enjoyable, and
well written, and I look forward to each release with eager
anticipation, and she is one of a select number of authors
whose books do not linger on my TBR shelf.
Detective Jordan Sampson is struggling to maintain a
relationship with her young daughter while enjoying a new
romance with an old flame. But Jordan’s personal life takes
a dangerous turn when her old friends from school are killed
off one by one.
