Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
When FBI Special Agent Allison Radcliffe goes undercover as a cook for a criminal mastermind, her partner FBI Special Agent Lincoln St. John understands the danger if she's exposed. When it looks like her cover has been compromised, they rush to get her out. But an attack by the angry criminal injuries the FBI team. Linc is devastated when he's told that Allison, the woman he loves, has been killed.

As he searches for the criminal's teenage daughter, who claims to have proof of her father's misdeeds but who's on the run, he discovers that Allison is alive. Their boss tried to convince her to remain hidden away to recuperate and convince the criminal to stop attacking her and those she loves. But she won't stop because the case touches on a troubling murder in her past. Linc and Allison will have to work together to stop a killer before she dies a second time--this time for good.


My Review:
Vow of Justice is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the fourth book in a series, but it works as a stand alone. It also doesn't spoil the previous books.

The main characters acted realistically and were likable. They were kind, resourceful, and never gave up. The mystery was interesting, though strong hints foreshadowed the twists so that they weren't really a surprise. I presume this was to build the suspense: we could see the lurking danger to certain characters but it took them some time to see what was going on. They were constantly sneaking into dangerous spots, leading rescues, and confronting killers. I also really loved the criminal's teenage daughter: smart and resourceful. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting story.
