JUDGMENT DAY by Wanda L. Dyson is a suspenseful read, full of twist and turns. Though it seemed Dyson exposed the killer in the early pages of the book, you find yourself wondering if in fact that is the killer or just one of the many enemies Suzanne Kidwell has accrued with her sensational exposés on public figures and the less than honest practices they have built their careers on.
Suzanne Kidwell is a bulldog when it comes to reporting corruption. The host of a weekly news show, Suzanne makes a name for herself by reporting half-truths and indicting people with nothing more than circumstantial evidence. When a body shows up in her apartment, and she with blood on her hands, Suzanne becomes the number one suspect in a high profile investigation. With her enemy list a literal who’s who of people with notoriety and means–who would like nothing more than to see Suzanne suffer–it looks as if she is now going to become a victim of her own tactics. A set-up has Suzanne desperate to find someone to help her clear her name and relies on her attorney, Ted Holden, to get her out of her current mess. But when Ted enlists the help of Marcus Crisp, a private investigator who just so happens to be Suzanne’s ex-fiancé, she’s unsure if Marcus really wants to help her, or allow her to suffer like she made him suffer so many years ago.
Marcus Crisp is a professional. And though his dislike for Suzanne is evident, he’s been given a job to do. Clear her name. Along with his partner, Alexandria Fisher-Hawthorne, Marcus delves into Suzanne’s files and finds more than one person who could be responsible for Suzanne’s set-up. Soon, Suzanne, Marcus, and Alex find themselves the targets of attempted murder. Now Marcus’ job not only includes clearing Suzanne’s name but keep her and his partner alive.
JUDGMENT DAY was an intriguing read with a fast past storyline. I really enjoyed the banter between Marcus and Alex, and then I realized why. Much of their dialogue sounded like a scene you would fine between Anthony DiNozzo and Zeva David from the popular television show, NCIS, which happens to be one of my favorites. Though this fact had me questioning the uniqueness of Dyson’s two major characters, if did nothing to slow down my need to get to the end of the book and put my own suspicions to rest. JUDGMENT DAY is filled with suspense that would entertain both female and male readers alike.
