About the Book:

During Garrett Addison's first week on the job as a criminal investigator for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, his team is called out to a murder scene of a young girl. She's the third victim in a string of disappearances with one thing in common--a Polaroid photo of each victim left behind at the crime scene.

The FBI is pulled into the case to help, and Garrett finds himself working with Special Agent Jordan Lambert, the woman he once loved. When yet another girl dies--number six--Garrett blames himself and believes he doesn't have what it takes to be an agent. What he'll discover is that, while he may be done with the killer, the killer is not done with him--or Jordan.

Bestselling and award-winning author Lisa Harris unveils an unforgettable story of a case that has haunted the public and law enforcement for more than a decade. Fans of the Nikki Boyd Files will thrill to finally discover what actually happened to Nikki's sister, Sarah. New readers will become instant fans after devouring this chilling tale.

My Thoughts:

Lisa Harris is a talented author and her stories are packed with suspense and intrigue.  Her previous books in the Nikki Boyd series explored the loss of Nikki's younger sister Sarah.  Vanishing Point finally focuses on that cold case.

Vanishing Point has a different feel that the other books in the series, but not in a negative way.  New characters Jordan Lambert and Garrett Addison bring a new energy to the series, and both are haunted by the loss of the six young women killed by the killer.

Harris has a depth of knowledge about law enforcement that adds to the narrative.  The detail is, well, detailed.  But it doesn't bog down the story.  And while the characters are well developed and relatable, the story is more of a method driven book than a character driven book.

That could be the difference I sensed as I read.  Regardless, Vanishing Point is an excellent novel of suspense, and I look forward to more from Lisa Harris.  I received an advance copy from the publisher with no services promised in return.

Four out of five stars
