OATH OF HONOR by Lynette Eason is the first book in the Blue Justice series and is an inspirational romantic suspense novel. Eason is known for her thrilling and suspenseful writing style. She really has proven herself with OATH OF HONOR. A novel that is full of action-packed scenes, thrilling drama, and a police department that copy cashing checks for the wrong kind of payroll.

Officer Isabelle St. John's partner is murdered, and she is determined to find the person or persons responsible. What she is not prepared for is the secrets and conspiracies she finds while investigating the crime. There is even a chance that her family may even be involved. OATH OF HONOR is a fast-paced nail-biting kind of read that will have you in suspense and complete surprise with each turn of the page.

The characters Eason has created are well-planned out with pasts and backstories that are revealed as the story progresses. This character development helps to explain and create the mystery that this novel is loaded with. The setting helps to create a mysterious backdrop that is the ideal place for hiding secrets or burring the things that seem to get in your way. You will be nervously sitting on the edge of your seat as each secret comes to light and more questions stand in the way of the truth.

Can Officer St. John solve the murder of her partner or will the secrets she uncovers make her the next target? I really enjoyed reading OATH OF HONOR. I cannot wait to see what happens with this group of characters as the Blue Justice series continues and look forward to reading the next book. I recommend OATH OF HONOR to anyone who loves a good suspenseful read with a touch of romance.
