Detective, Mystery, Women

No Time To Breathe by Lori Duffy Foster


Description

Journalist Lisa Jamison wants to blow off some steam after an argument with her boyfriend, so she heads to her friend Ricky’s kickboxing studio for an early morning workout. She expects to find Ricky alone, setting up for his first class of the day, but someone was there before Lisa, uninvited. Ricky is dead, shot only moments before she arrived, and now Lisa is a suspect in his murder. Lisa wants two things: to clear her name and seek justice for Ricky. But the deeper she digs, the more the danger mounts. Can she find Ricky’s killer before the killer eliminates the last obstacle, silencing Lisa for good? 

My Thoughts

This another solid entry in Duffy Foster’s Lisa Jamison series. The author’s experience as a crime reporter shines through in her intricate and realistic plots. There is some really great character development here – Lisa grows more interesting with each book. She’s smart, capable, vulnerable, and empathetic but also tough as nails.

I continue to enjoy her work and will keep recommending it to mystery readers.
