One Final Target

By: Janice Cantore

Narrated by: Jeannie Sheneman

A warrant service in the San Bernardino Mountains goes horribly wrong when an IED blast kills four police officers. Devastated by the loss of her team, the lone survivor, Long Beach Sergeant Jodie King, struggles with her guilt and grief, especially as the case remains open with no clear leads or suspects.

Weeks after the explosion, Jodie retires from the police department and returns to the mountain bomb site seeking peace and resolution...only to find herself in the crosshairs once again.

Sam Gresham just happens to be in the right place at the right time when shots are fired at Jodie. The newest detective for the county sheriff’s department, Sam is assigned to work the IED, his first case back after his own traumatic loss. While Sam sees an opportunity to help Jodie heal from her lingering scars, Jodie hopes fresh eyes will bring new insight to the investigation.

Because after this latest shooting, one thing seems clear: Jodie has always been the intended target—and the threat may be much closer to her than anyone wants to admit.

Janice Cantore delivers another pulse-pounding contemporary romantic suspense novel about overcoming grief and learning to trust again.

Captivating storyline

You will be quickly drawn into the story. It’s pretty intense and a lot goes on, but I wanted to hear more. We started this on a road trip got home before it was done. Finished my laundry and sat down and listen to the rest for the next three hours. It is a captivating story of trusting the Lord, regardless of what the outcome may be.

Mostly Enjoyable

I liked the male lead- Sam. Female lead, Jodie, got in my nerves. She treated each new suspect lead as if they were the guilty party. It was like she chased the shiniest new star. The narrator was very good and did a live job with the multiple character voices. The story and enough twist and turns to keep it interesting. The thing that was the most frustrating is how author kept emphasizing the tech prowess of the villain and yet the police kept asking , “ how does he know where we are and what we are doing?” Really? In this day and age you don’t even think of trackers, phone cloning , computer hacking? Ugh. Makes you lose faith in police problem solving.

I think this might be my favorite!

I’ve read all of Janice’s books and enjoyed them all. However, this one spoke to me. The message of God being good — even in the bad— resonated with me.

Good story line

Story was interesting but it lacked depth of character interaction and lacked emotion. Characters seemed cold.

Repetitive descriptions

The plot was decent but the characters talked too much about God, faith, the bible and prayers for my taste. The descriptions of the main character's guilt were overdone and repetitive. Probably will not download another book by this author
