      Lethal Cover-Up by Darlene L. Turner is a stand-alone Love Inspired Suspense novel. Border patrol officer Madison Steele is determined to prove her sister’s fatal car accident was in fact murder. Someone is trying to cover-up the fact that a big pharmaceutical company is distributing tainted drugs. Now they’re after Madison. Working with Police Constable Tucker Reed, Madison plans to expose the company. But, will they both survive that long? From the first sentence to the last it was non-stop action. Twists and turns, bullets flying everywhere, and a plot twist at the end; this story has it all! Madison and Tucker were a great team. I received this book from Celebrate Lit for my honest review.
    • 4/5
      "They're after me!" These aren't words you ever want to hear, and Madison Steele soon learns that her sister's frantic phone call has ended with the worst possible scenario. In her newest book, Lethal Cover-Up, author Darlene L. Turner uses these words and many unforeseen circumstances to send readers on a frantic, thrilling, and often dangerous ride. She adds a heroine and hero who are both strong and vulnerable, gives them a previous relationship that ended in pain and disillusionment, and then throws them together to try to stop a murderous drug ring! How can Madison and Tucker Reed ever hope to succeed, if they can't forget their past hurts and misunderstandings?Lethal Cover-Up is hard to put down, because of its fascinating characters, family secrets, and unending twists and turns, and Turner also includes hope, faith, and a second chance at romance. I recommend it to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.I received a copy of this book from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
    • 4/5
      Well this has been some kind of wild ride that I just got off of. My heart was pounding so hard I didn’t know if I was going to be able to stop the adrenaline rush. The author sure knows how to capture the attention of her readers with non stop danger at every curve . I loved the storyline about a pharmaceutical company with greedy people who have no regard for human lives. I couldn’t wait to see where the trail would lead me.Madison is a very dedicated person to her job and seems to have everything under control in her life. Of course there is that little anger she has with God going on. But overall her life is pretty good until a phone call changes everything. Oh no I’m not telling about the call because that is how Madison finds herself in danger. I will say that her love for her sister is evident and she will not stop til she gets answers to a tragic event. Teaming up with Madison to track the person who is selling illegal drugs is her old boyfriend Tucker. It must have been a bit awkward for them at first but they sure do make a great team. I loved how they worked together and had each other’s backs. Tucker does try several times to talk to Madison about God, but she isn’t ready to listen. Will she surrender to God or let her prude get in the way? The author does an exceptional job of keeping Madison and Tucker on their toes as they get closer to the truth. There are several clues they find that help them but as they get closer to solving it, bodies start piling up. They have gotten the attention of someone who is willing to kill to keep their illegal drugs under wraps. Madison is living on the edge as she becomes the target of whoever is behind the drug trafficking. The ending is one of the best I’ve read in awhile and I was completely not ready for who the criminal or criminals were. I know there were clues throughout the story but for some reason I ignored them. If you are looking for a fast pace suspenseful story with danger, faith and action, look no further. Grab a copy and get ready for a look into what “the love of money” does to people. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit.The review is my own opinion.
    • 5/5
      They have eyes and ears everywhere.Wow! You will not set this book aside until you reach the end. The author has done an incredible job of hiding the true perpetrator, leaving the reader with bits and pieces of this and that, but no chance to actually figure out who it is. Accidents that are actually murder, gunshots, explosions, tainted drugs and more will keep your attention long after you reach the end. Seemingly innocuous people and businesses become people and places of interest. Sinister texts are received - is anyone safe from these people?Madison has lost so much. How can she possibly believe that God is in all things? You just need to know where to look - wise words from her sissy and others around her. But will those threatening texts come true?This ARC was received through Love Inspired Suspense, Harlequin and CelebrateLit. These impressions and comments are my own and were in no way solicited.
