She knows that if she succeeds, she can save a woman’s life in time.

 

And if she fails, she may just find herself behind bars for good.

Ratings and reviews

Unhinged is another fabulous thriller, full of action, lots of fighting, and gun firing, and Cora leaping into the fights as if a superwoman, sometimes doing better sometimes not so much. In this story, she is a bit more human, and in fact, shows her feelings. She is very preoccupied with her family and the ending is an unexpected one. I wonder what will happen now! I thank the author for the ARC.

Cora is still trying to find out what happened to Rose. Her parents ask her to find out what happened to a woman they know. Her ex-FBI partner lets her know that Ogden is really out to get her & he shows up at her parents' house. She sends him away and begins her investigation and learns there is something bad going on involving local law enforcement. Things really heat up. Lots of action in this story and the ending leaves you wondering how she will ever get out of this mess!

Unhinged is right. Deputy Director Ogden is unhinged and will stop at nothing to make Cora pay for being better than him. Even as she has brought down a corrupt operation in her home town, Ogden is there looking for any reason to put her away. This was a rollercoaster thrill ride and I cannot wait for the next book!
