Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
When decorated FBI undercover agent Scott Sinclair suffers a gunshot wound in his right arm, the injury threatens his future career in the field. He is determined to regain his former job by training himself to use his left hand, and failure is not an option--especially when he's unofficially pulled into an investigation.

Tori Alexander is a passionate crime reporter and podcaster who has dedicated her life to seeking justice. Her relentless pursuit of the truth has freed two men from prison who were falsely convicted, and when her nephew is accused of murder, nothing can stop her from getting involved and clearing his name.

Sparks ignite when Tori reconnects with Scott on the case, but she's doubtful if she can extend grace and trust. As the investigation intensifies, they find threats targeted at themselves. They'll have to combine their skills and rely on their growing relationship to outsmart the killer.


My Review:
On the Edge of Trust is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the 5th novel in a series but works as a standalone. Tori is a crime podcaster who has proven that an innocent man was sentenced for murder. She's now being attacked, but is it the angry ex-husband accused of abuse by his ex-wife on the podcast? Or her on-air declaration that she's going to find the true murderer? Or the fact she's trying to solve the murder of a friend who may have uncovered a crime? The suspense came from the repeated attacks on the main characters.

Scott and Tori liked each other and had a shared passion for justice, but Tori didn't trust that Scott wouldn't relapse into alcholism since her own dad did once with tragic results. They had to work through this lack of trust, and Tori struggled with forgiving her dad. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this novel to suspense fans.
