Customer Reviews

Fire Department Procedural.

Did not pay enough attention when I selected this book(Christian Thrillers are not really my thing). That said, the story was OK.

Awesome storry

This was an awesome story line. I could not but it down and when I did, I couldn't wait to get back to it. I hope that Terri does not stop with this book. This series is so perfectly written and should not be stopped.

When the smoke clears

A firemans nightmare, a thirty story building and a bomb that blows the lid off of your Imagination. Put yourself inside a burning building on the top floor, this is what has happened to Attorney Jill Clark Nichols. The Icon International building in New Orleans is now on fire and the fire is spreading. Fire trucks are dispatched from all over the city to fight the unthinkable type fire, the high rise. Jills husband is on the job trying to save his wife, knowing she is on the top floor. He enters the building and it happens again, but this time not just one bomb but two or more bombs go off causing the floors to fall burying people beneath the concrete and steel. The fireman fight the fire until they gain control and as the smoke clears the body count begins. Jill seemed to have made it out of the burning building, but her husband seems to be missing. This book is a must read to find out, is her husband Dan one of the dead or is there more to the story than it seems. Were the bombs an act of a terrorist or is there some one else to blame?

Riveting Read

Terri Blackstock never fails to satisfy her fans. Line of Duty puts readers into the midst of the chaos when bombs begin to explode in a multi-storied building. Readers tag along as people flee the building and fire fighters from all over the area try to rescue the buildings occupants. You will not want to put this book down as authorities search for victims and perpetrators. I plan to share this timly adventure with all my reading friends.

Engaging Pageturner

After having read the first four novels in the Newpointe 911 series, I was thrilled when Ms. Blackstock decided to release another that weaves a Christian tale around corporate scandal and terrorism. Her flare is in penning pageturners, but specifically she excels at the Christian murder mystery genre, an ocean's distance from her previous works in the romance market. In a Judeo-Christian country market, you would think this sort of novel would be appealing to the masses, but secular society craves drugs, sex, and rock-n-roll. And oh, by the way, she doesn't ignore these topics in her novels. She just refuses to glorify them.

Blackstock's Best

This is the fifth book in the Newpointe 911 series and it is by far the best! Maybe it's because the character's were already familiar friends or because it addresses an emotional situation similar to what happened on September 11, 2001. I actually cried while reading this book and that doesn't happen to me very often. It was very moving and very well written. If you enjoyed the first 4 books in this series you'll love this one. A must read for any Blackstock fan.
