Thunder at Dawn

All of Jill Gregory books are wonderful so far. I really like this author and have shared these with many friends. Pat Fiorentino

3rd in a 3 book series...not 2nd...

This is book 3 of 3 in the Thunder Creek series. Don't let the other reviewer fool you. Book #1 is Thunder Creek, #2 is Night Thunder & #3 is Thunder at Dawn. I loved this series. Book #1 was my favorite but the other 2 were close to a 5 star rating. The people in this town really grow on you & it's fun seeing them throughout all 3 books. Some of the main people from the first 2 books I would've liked to see more of but other then that I have no complaints. Jill Gregory is a wonderful author & I highly recommend this 3 book series.

Romantic and suspenseful!

I just finished this book by one of my favorite authors. Very, very romantic. One of the most romantic scenes I've read at the end. Very suspenseful. All the elements of a great romance/suspense story were there. I only wish Jill Gregory would write more books each year!

exciting romantic intrigue

Assistant District Attorney Faith Barclay needs time away from the job following the Jimmy Clement prosecution that led to his execution and subsequent proof of innocence and an ancient leaning judge letting free abusive ex-cop Hank Baymon on probation. Before leaving Philadelphia for her hometown of Thunder Creek, Wyoming, Faith arranges for Hank's wife and children to disappear because she knows he will kill them. In Thunder Creek, Faith and Zach McCallum are stunned to see one another for the first time in a decade since he left her to marry his pregnant girlfriend in Texas. Now divorced, he raises his son Dillon by himself. Faith and Zach realize they remain attracted to one another. Unbeknownst to her, Hank is stalking her as he plans to first take care of Faith and then his wife and her kids; no one walks out on Hank and lives to tell it. Meanwhile Zack courts a reluctant Faith who does not trust him while someone has begun killing people in Thunder Creek with Faith seemingly in the center of the bulls-eye. The suspense is high and increases throughout the twisting plot as the audience anticipates a showdown between the villain and the heroine. Adding to the tension is the likable lead couple who belongs together, but must overcome their history. Jill Gregory wisely also sends his too precocious son away on vacation so he is not a pawn of the killer or a matchmaker both over done in literature. The final twist seems improbable, but romantic intrigue fans will still take delight in the third terrific Thunder tale (see THUNDER CREEK and NIGHT THUNDER). Harriet Klausner
