The Escape by Lisa Harris Book Review

 

US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are thrust into a high-profile case when they are called on to transport two prisoners across the country on a private plane. But when the plane experiences engine trouble en route from the Pacific Northwest to Colorado, the pilots crash-land the aircraft deep in the heart of the sprawling Salmon-Challis National Forest. 

When Madison and Jonas regain consciousness, they find both pilots and one prisoner dead--and one fugitive on the run. They'll have to negotiate the rugged and remote backcountry through Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado while tracking a murderer who is desperate to disappear--and will do anything to stop them.

This high-octane game of cat-and-mouse from bestselling and award-winning author Lisa Harris will have your heart pumping as you try to catch a fugitive with nothing to lose.

My Thoughts:

Lisa Harris is one of my favorite Christian suspense authors. Her Nikki Boyd series has been one of my many favorites of her books. I’m always excited to see new series from Lisa Harris. She knows how to grab your attention and keep you reading late into the night with all the twist turns throughout.

Madison and Jonas the US Marshals trying to apprehend a fugitive on the run . Both of them are interesting and realistic characters. You can’t help to not like them and find yourself quickly fond of both of them. They both have a complex past that you find out more as the plot thickens. The story does turn into a romance but it’s a slow realistic relationship that forms. The other main character Damon Barrick and he is the fugitive on the run after the plane crashes while they are transporting two prisoners. Damon is a charmer, intelligent, and knows how to improvise while on the run keeping himself just ahead of the US Marshals.

The plot and locations in this story are intriguing. They are on the go throughout the wilderness and into big cities on the tail of Damon. It makes for a lot of suspense throughout.

There is an interesting back story that emerges. Ever since the death of Madison’s husband 5 years ago she receives a black rose on the grave but this year the black rose is found in her house on her bed. This mystery starts to unfold throughout the main plot but not solved. Hopefully it will come to light in the next book in the series.

Another wonderful book from Lisa Harris and now the hard part is waiting for the next book in the series.
