Blind Betrayal

Blind Betrayal by Nancy Mehl has all of the suspense that suspense lovers could ask for. Every time I thought the characters had found a safe place to rest, bullets started flying or danger found them. Every. Time. Is someone on the inside betraying them to the terrorist on their trail?

US Deputy Marshall Casey Sloane, and her partner Doug have been tasked with transporting a witness from their office in St. Louis to Washington D. C. so that she can testify against a terrorist kingpin. Help arrives in the form of US Marshall E. J. Queen from the D.C. office, and a former friend of Casey's. As the US Marshall office in St. Louis is bombed immediately before they were to leave for the airport, they decide that alternate transportation would be necessary. They decide to take Casey's car instead of flying out, and begin a roadtrip with more landmines than they care to think about. As the incidents along the way pile up, will they be able to elude their attackers to get their witness safely to Washington?

As Casey and E.J. work together, they discover that their friendship in the past has sparks in the future. Will they survive to explore those sparks, or will the terrorist they're pursuing stop toying with them, and put them out of contention for good?

This story was a fun one to listen to! It definitely helped me get my heartrate up on my walks.

Suspense lovers will find this book immensely satisfying. While there is a romance portion to this story, it's not as strong as the suspense part. Nancy Mehl definitely rocks the suspense in Blind Betrayal.
