Nowhere to Hide Book Review


Nowhere to Hide

Sandra Vos Book 3

Carolyn Arnold
 

He paced while keeping his eye on his hostages. They watched him back with their gazes fixed on each step he took. Locking eyes with the father in a home so luxurious, so unlike his own, he knew this was his only chance for justice after all these years. He’d stop at nothing to get it.

When a lone gunman takes an entire family hostage in a wealthy suburb, there is only one FBI negotiator he’ll engage with. Special Agent Sandra Vos hit the headlines for bringing a crisis incident at Founders Hospital to a close, but there’s no time to rest with a family’s life in her hands.

Arriving on the scene, Sandra discovers that Edward Hanson and his family are the hostages. Edward is the son of the late Timothy Hanson who left his entire fortune to his son. While it seems this may be all about money, the hostage taker makes a demand that is far more personal. Reopen an investigation into a fatal car accident from thirty-three years ago or he shoots the entire family. But how does this connect to the Hansons?

Sandra calls in her boyfriend, Detective Eric Birch, at the Metropolitan Police Department, and asks him to dig into the case. Eric works to untangle a web of lies which leads him straight to the heart of the police force. But can any of this help Sandra talk the hostage taker down and save the family? And how much will Eric need to sacrifice in the pursuit of the truth?

A completely addictive mystery thriller perfect for fans of Kendra Elliot’s Mercy Kilpatrick series, Mary Stone and Elle Gray.

My thoughts:
 
This book grabbed me by the throat from the beginning, and didn't let me go until the end! Carolyn Arnold has done it again, with a fast-paced, tense, police thriller. Sandra Vos is pulled into a hostage situation when the hostage taker will only talk to her. Surprisingly, he wants a 33 year old case reopened, and the police start the investigation in order to save the lives of the family.

This book is set over a couple of days, not including the prologue and epilogue, so it feels very intense and in-the-moment.
 
I strongly recommend reading this book, and although it can be read alone, I recommend reading the first 2, because the series is so good that you'll want to read them all!
 
Thank you to Carolyn Arnold and Bookouture for the chance to read and provide an honest review for this book.
