Wow, this series gets better with each book. This was book 3. Could be read as standalone but other two were great and fills in backstory.

She arrived just after Ricky was brutally stabbed. At first police suspect her...dispite being told not to, she investigates. She knows she's on to something . The thing that stumps her is why Ricky? He is the total good guy. No spoilers so stopping now. I'll just say READ IT!
THank you to Net Galley, the Publishers and Lori Duffy Foster for opertunity to read this book.

Newspaper journalist Lisa Jamison heads to her friend Ricky’s kickboxing studio for an early morning workout and ends up finding Ricky dying from gunshot wounds. The killer must have left minutes before Lisa's arrival & she initially becomes a suspect to the police. But Lisa wants to find the motive for Ricky's murder & his recent purchase of another mall property may hold the key. Lisa slowly untangles a complex network involving a planned casino, hotels being funded by a ruthless gang. Lisa's former FBI agent boyfriend Patrick is busy working on completing his law degree. He is also distracted by the sudden return of his ex-undercover partner Gloria.

Despite getting physically attacked & threatened, Lisa is a feisty protagonist who has several reasons that force her to keep going on in this investigation. This was a fast-paced thriller with plenty of twists. I received a digital ARC from Netgalley and Level Best Books. All opinions are my own.

No Time to Breathe is an apt title for this fast-paced mystery!

Lisa Jamison is a badass main character who doesn’t make a hundred stupid decisions or rely on a handful of pills to get through the day. Bonus points right there, because I’ve had more than enough irritating female MCs.

Lisa is an investigative journalist, determined to solve the murder of a friend; a murder for which she’s a suspect. She’s smart, resourceful, and maybe a bit reckless now and then.

This story gives us a mystery to solve, a constant undercurrent of suspense, building intensity, and a sprinkling of romance.

No Time to Breathe is the third Lisa Jamison Mystery, but it can be read as a stand-alone.

I hadn't read anything by the author before, therefore it wasn't what I was anticipating, but I was absolutely thrilled, and I personally cannot wait to read more. It was a compelling mystery that builds up to a heart pounding finish.

Thank you NetGalley and the author for letting me read and review this book.

Review in progress and to come.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

Well this was certainly not what I was expecting but it was absolutely captivating! Ots a really Cleveleys written story which kept me guessing throughout. It has a good pace and never drifts off or veers into irrelevant waffle. The characters are well written and easy to root for and there are so many twist and turns. Its plotted out well so it never feels rushed or like there are plot holes and I just loved every second of reading it. I haven't read any of the series before but ill definitely be looking them up now!

This is a suspense/ mystery thriller that kept me engaged from the very first page. One day Lisa went for a run and stopped by the gym only to discover her good friend and owner has been shot. Why would anyone kill Ricky? Who killed Ricky? This was fast paced and had me guessing till the end. This appears to be book #3 in a series but I was able to read it as a stand-alone. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review. To be published April 2023. Looking forward to more books by this author.

No Time to Breathe by Lori Duffy Foster is a mystery/suspense novel. It's the third book from the Lisa Jamison series.

Lisa was a journalist who loved uncovering stories. One day when she went for her morning workout she found her friend murdered in his gym. Her boss forbid her from going after this but Lisa was too invested. She wouldn't be able to rest until she figured out who killed Ricky, despite putting her life in serious danger.

This is a great book. The suspense is fast-paced, it starts with the main event and quickly gives so many clues that are meant to help you uncover the story but also throw you off a bit. It's well-written and pretty easy to follow. There's a bit of drama between Lisa and her boyfriend. My favorite part was the "big moment" towards the end, when you read the book you'll know what I'm talking about.

I enjoyed this book a lot and I will rate it with 4 stars.

A good book, not what I was expecting as I haven’t read anything from the author but I was pleasantly surprised and I can’t wait until the next book comes out

No Time to Breathe is a compelling mystery that builds to a heart pounding finish. The story begins when journalist Lisa Jamison is thrust into a murder investigation, and it quickly escalates as the personal and the political converge with deadly consequences. This author knows how to deliver on suspense, as the narration takes one hairpin curve after another in a tale of greed, corruption, and deception. Lisa’s relentless pursuit of the truth extends to every aspect of her life. It’s what drives her, what haunts her, and ultimately, what enables her to move beyond her troubled past and toward a more confident future. No Time to Breathe is a well-plotted suspense novel that delivers on multiple levels.

Good book! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, mobsters, great detective work and a bit of a who done it! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! I definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
