Words of Conviction by Linda J. White

 
About the Book:  

The clues are hidden in the kidnapper’s words. Can the message be decoded in time?

When Zoe, the five-year-daughter of a powerful Senator, is abducted, the FBI brings in Special Agent MacKenzie Graham, a forensic psycholinguist, to analyze the written threats of the vengeful kidnapper. An expert at what she does, Kenzie probes criminal minds more accurately than she does her own heart.

Working alongside fellow FBI agent John Crowfeather, Kenzie refuses to acknowledge her mysterious attraction to John, and continues to build walls she believes will protect her not only from men but God as well. John is no fan of hers, either, but they have little time to dwell on it as the case grows more dangerous.

When the perpetrator begins posting messages on the Internet, the race is on to save Zoe. Can Kenzie and John rescue the girl before it’s too late? Or will their misguided convictions cost a little girl her life?

My Review

This is my first read from Linda J. White, and it was a great experience! Although I love reading suspense, this was also the first time I read about a psycholinguist. Let me tell you it had me intrigued to say the least; my what you can learn about people with the words they use! The characters were developed well and the real-life scenarios they faced lent credibility to the plot. This was a well-crafted suspense novel that will not leave you sorry that you bought it! Happy reading!

Thank you to Abingdon Press and NetGalley for allowing me to preview this book--the opinions which I wrote are my own.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
