Book Review: Two Reasons to Run by Colleen Coble

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this book from Thomas Nelson via Netgalley,  free of charge, for review purposes on this blog. No compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it, all opinions are my own

Synopsis:

A lie changed her world.

Police Chief Jane Hardy is still reeling from the scandal that rocked her small-town department just as she took over for her retired father—the man who wrecked her life with one little lie. Now she’s finally been reunited with her presumed-dead fifteen-year-old son, Will, and his father, documentarian Reid Bechtol. 

A crisis looms. 

When a murder aboard the oil platform Zeus exposes an environmental terrorist’s plot to flood Mobile Bay with crude oil, Jane and Reid must put their feelings for each other behind them and work together to prevent the rig from being sabotaged. 

A killer targets her son. 

Then the terrorist puts her son Will’s life on the line. Protecting him could be the common ground they need . . . but then ghosts from the past threaten to ruin Jane and Reid for good. 

She’s got plenty of reasons to run. But what if she stays? 

Review:

Another slam dunk from Colleen (can she even write a BAD book? I don't think so!), again focusing on the Gulf Coast (now drying out from so much havoc from Hurricane Laura), with her 2nd book in the Jane Hardy, Pelican Harbor series (book 1 was One Little Lie). Once again, Jane has to face down opposition in town to her being Police Chief, and deal with a terrorist plot, as well and drama at home. While a bit far fetched (state agencies would have taken over the terrorist case from Jane LONG before she got close to solving it, IRL), they story line keeps a fast pace, which keeps the reader involved. With subtle Christian messages, this is a good 'end of Summer' read. before the chaos of Fall arrives.
