Everything hidden is eventually found
After a harrowing attempt on a judge's life at the courthouse, Deputy US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are tasked with finding a missing woman and an endangered child in connection to the murder of the judge's wife. What seems like a fairly straightforward case becomes hopelessly tangled when the marshals discover that the woman they are searching for is not who they think she is.
Madison and Jonas are forced into a race to find the woman and the child before the people who want her dead discover her location. And in a final showdown that could cost her everything, Madison will come face-to-face with the person who murdered her husband.
My review:
This has to be my most anticipated book of 2022. This trilogy is different than most as in it is about the same two characters throughout all three books, and one continuing case, though there are others solved.
Before book #1, Madison's husband was murdered. Slight spoiler: the same person shot her at the end of the same book. Throughout the other two books, she has been trying to remember who shot her, while also trying to solve her husband's murder five years ago.
This book finally clears that all up, while bring a new case their way.
The Catch is the best of the three books, in my option. Of course, everything finally got tied up and solved, so that plays into it. The book definitely had a lot going on: chases, kidnapping, shootings, murders....and it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and reading until I finished it.
Another different thing about this series: there was definitely romantic interest between the two main characters, but - slight spoiler: it was a slow kind that didn't really come to much until the last book. In fact, I don't think they kissed until this book. That was kind of refreshing. I like romance in books, but it was not the main focus on this series.
The Catch did have some surprises. I thought something happened one way, but it didn't. I thought the guilty party of one murder was one person, but was wrong....and one guy was a bad guy but I did not realize it. All in all, this was an awesome series, and ended with this awesome ending to it. Harris has steadily been getting better and better with each book and series, but she knocked it out of the park with this one.
This trilogy definitely needs to be read in order.
I was provided a copy of this book for review purposes. All opinions in this review are my own.
