My Review - The Right Call

THE RIGHT CALL is the third and final book in the Sophie Trace Trilogy. Police Chief, Brill Jessup, has had her struggles both personally and professionally. But, with her marriage back on track, her college age daughter at home with her infant son, and the town of Sophie Trace regaining its small town charm, all seems well. Unfortunately, the peace is shattered by a string of shootings.

Ethan Langley returns to Sophie Trace anxious to explore his relationship with Vanessa Jessup and her son, Carter. But when his cousin is shot in a string of random killings, his world begins to spiral out of control. When he finds out information about the shootings his life and the life of Vanessa and Carter are threatened. He struggles with doing what is right or what is safe.

Though I didn’t read the first book in the Sophie Trace Trilogy, I have thoroughly enjoyed book two, THE LAST WORD, and THE RIGHT CALL. The Jessup family is not without their flaws, but familiar and inviting. The characters that work with Chief Jessup in the Sophie Trace precinct are rich as well. But, the characters that gather at the local coffee shop though quaint, become a bit bothersome after a while. I found myself breezing over the sections containing their dialogue because I felt it slowed the story down.

Kathy Herman is a talent storyteller that knows how to keep her readers interest.
