Book Review of The Real Enemy (Sophie Trace Trilogy, Book 1)

The Real Enemy (Sophie Trace Trilogy, Book 1)


A very entertaining story of a big city cop who moves to a small fictional town in East Tennessee and immediately forced to handle a kidnapping case. Only it's not one kidnapping...it's seven. Add to this the fact that she and her husband are living a farce of a marriage after his infidelity, and they're both trying to hold everything together for the sake of their kids.

The Real Enemy is a thrilling read from beginning to end! It plods along a few times and the kidnappings almost became monotonous, but there is a point to there being 7 of them. The supporting characters (children, neighbors, Nick at the local diner, etc.) all make the town of Sophie Trace a charming one, and I have no doubt they'll all be making appearances in the rest of this series.
