Point of Revenge

As a member of the Houston SWAT team, Suzanne Barton is no stranger to high-stakes cases. But then she finds Julia Kraft, her best friend, murdered and Julia’s daughter, Mia, missing. While the authorities examine the crime scene for clues to the killer, Suzanne is forced to admit that she might not have known everything about Julia and Mia and that someone they trusted may not be who they seemed.

Arson investigator Landon Kraft is stunned to learn of his ex-wife’s murder. He’s even more shocked when police suspect his daughter, Mia, might have been involved in the crime. Though he’s been estranged from his family since before Mia was born and only recently began mending his relationship with Julia, Landon doubts Mia would truly harm her mother. Then he discovers Mia’s been dating Porter Malcomson, the brother of a man Landon helped put in prison, and he can’t believe in coincidences anymore.

Even though Suzanne and Landon disagree about whether Porter is trustworthy and Suzanne holds a grudge against Landon for deserting her best friend over twenty years ago, they agree to work together out of their shared concern for Mia. Soon it becomes clear that Julia’s murder was the calculated act of someone out for revenge, and Mia is a pawn in a dangerous game of lies and betrayal . . . one that may have been two decades in the making.

My Review:

This is a sneak peek into New Year reading options since this book doesn’t release until January 12 2027 and it’s well worth the wait!

Whoa! Clear your calendar before starting in on ‘Point of Revenge’ because this is one exceptionally unputdownable suspense! I was completely hooked right from the heartbreaking, attention grabbing opening scene. Mills kept me on edge with the intense plot filled with gasp-out-loud twists as well as the rocky emotional connection between the hero and heroine.

Suzanne has her guard up, prepared to continue to nurture her grudge against Landon despite their desperate circumstances. Incredible character growth ensues as these two learn to work together for the greater good. But, oh my, do they ever butt heads over the investigation. So emotionally charged!

The intricately layered suspense plot is fascinating. Impeccably paced, Mills gradually metes out clues (if you’re paying attention) until everything comes together in a blockbuster-worthy grande finale.

I listened to the audio book narrated by Charity Spencer whose performance matched the intensity of the story and made for an exhilarating listening experience.
