Critical Pursuit may be a suspense thriller, but is also a story about coming to terms with forgiveness, trusting your instincts and having faith. I absolutely loved Critical Persuit. This being my first Janice Cantore novel I wasn't sure what to expect, but she has me hooked on her writing. Cantore is a retired police officer and I believe that is why her storytelling is so amazingly realistic and engaging! She knows exactly how to craft a fast paced book that keeps the readers hooked wanting more and more. I highly recommend Critical Pursuit to anyone ages 14 and up.

I'm not a teen or young adult, but I still like reading books aimed for this age group. It's a 1-they are short, and to the point 2-quick easy reading.
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to choose a crime novel, but this one sound really interesting I might have to add it too the list.
I agree with you Young Adult are some of my favorites to read too. This one is actually a pretty quick read, I think I was done in about 4 hours.
