Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
After a harrowing attempt on a judge's life at the courthouse, Deputy US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are tasked with finding a missing woman and an endangered child in connection to the murder of the judge's wife. What seems like a fairly straightforward case becomes hopelessly tangled when the marshals discover that the woman they are searching for is in witness protection and the Amber Alert put out for the missing child has put two lives in danger.

Madison and Jonas are forced into a race to find the woman and the child before the men who want her dead discover her location. And in a final showdown that could cost her everything, Madison will come face-to-face with the person who murdered her husband.


My Review:
The Catch is a Christian romantic suspense novel. This is the third book in a series and continues the story of US Marshals Madison and Jonas, but you can understand what's going on without reading the previous books. However, this book wrapped up some ongoing events from the previous books (like the mystery of who killed Madison's husband), so it'd be more satisfying to read the books in order.

The main characters reacted realistically to events. Madison continued to struggle with the uncertainty of who shot her and the insecurity that created. Madison and Jonas worked together to find the missing baby and his babysitter before the bad guys. They followed up on the clues to find the missing child and uncover the truth about the murders. They worked well together and trusted the other's skills and instincts. The high level of suspense came from trying to find the targets before the bad guys and the dangers of the job.

Madison and the babysitter talked about how one can trust God when it seems like everything is going wrong and when loved ones died. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I recommend this exciting suspense novel.


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
