The Catch by Lisa Harris: Book Review

  **I received a complimentary copy for consideration. All thoughts are my own. 

After a harrowing attempt on a judge's life at the courthouse, Deputy US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are tasked with finding a missing woman and an endangered child in connection to the murder of the judge's wife. What seems like a fairly straightforward case becomes hopelessly tangled when the marshals discover that the woman they are searching for is not who they think she is.

Madison and Jonas are forced into a race to find the woman and the child before the men who want her dead discover her location. And in a final showdown that could cost her everything, Madison will come face-to-face with the person who murdered her husband.

The Catch is the third book in the US Marshals series. While you may be able to read this one okay as a standalone, you are definitely going to get the most out of the story by reading them in order. While the primary mystery in this book is new, there has been an ongoing mystery (that of the murder of Madison's husband) and a romance between her and Jonas that has been building throughout the course of the series. As such, while you may be able to get caught up enough to enjoy the book, you definitely will be missing a lot of what lead up to this point. 

With a name like The Catch, one can assume that this would be full of action...and it absolutely was from start to finish. There was a lot going on in this story, and just when you think you might have it figured out or that things were drawing to a close, another surprise would be thrown in to keep us guessing. Lisa Harris has certainly mastered the art of creating a suspenseful read that will keep you on the edge of your seat and this was another great example of that. I thought it was a very good conclusion in the series, and one not to be missed by romantic suspense fans!
