Fresh Fiction Review

Thriller | Romance Suspense

TOUCH OF RED by Laura Griffin is the twelfth book in the Tracers series and is a romantic suspense novel. TOUCH OF RED can easily be read as a standalone novel. You will get lost in this riveting story that puts you right in the middle of the investigation as they collect evidence from the homicide of a young woman. They are in pursuit to find a missing witness and on the hunt for a killer. Griffin's writing is spot on and crisp with characters that are relentlessly determined in their pursuit to solve this case. The characters are hardworking with backstories that help to add to the current case and mesh the story together. In this fast-paced story that never slows down you will experience many unexpected twists, chemistry that is so hot it is sure to steam up the pages, corruption, brutality, and murder. As you read this thrilling suspense you will feel like you are watching a police drama television show, but much more detailed and dramatic. Throughout this book you will get glimpses of characters from the previous novels which help to weave the books in this series together. The setting is truly spot on for a criminal investigation with the usual places like the police department, crime scene investigators, and the unusual spots like the scene of the crime. All of which help to make this novel an over the top suspenseful read that will be hard to forget. TOUCH OF RED will take you through so many emotions that you will feel has if you are right there along side the investigators working the case with them. I found this to be the kind of book that will keep you up at night and make you question every bump in the night. This book would be a perfect read to anyone who loves a good thrill suspense novel with a hint of romance.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin “delivers the goods” (Publishers Weekly) again with this gripping, “spellbinding” (Fresh Fiction) thriller full of twists and turns—the twelfth in her bestselling Tracers series. When crime scene investigator Brooke Porter arrives at the home of a murdered woman, the only thing more shocking than the carnage is the evidence that someone escaped the scene. But where is this witness now? A thorough search of the area yields more questions than answers, and before Brooke even packs up her evidence kit, she’s made it her goal to find the witness and get them out of harm’s way. Homicide detective Sean Byrne has seen his share of bloody crime scenes, but this one is particularly disturbing, especially because Brooke Porter is smack in the middle of it. Sean has had his eye on the sexy CSI for months, and he’s determined to help her with her current case—even if it means putting his attraction on hold so he and Brooke can track down a murderer. But as the investigation—and their relationship—heats up, Sean realizes that keeping his work and his personal life separate is more complicated than he ever imagined; especially when the killer sets his sights on Brooke. With Griffin’s signature “fully fleshed characters, dry humor, and tight plotting” (Publishers Weekly), Touch of Red demonstrates why she is one of the most acclaimed and popular authors of sexy thrillers today.
