AppId is over the quota
Set in Australia, "To Catch A Cop" is a witty and clever romantic suspense with a quirky heroine and a hero determined to prove her innocence. Lindy Kellerman has a full plate - two kids, a full time job as a nursing instructor, a thesis to write, but when a student dies in her classroom, all eyes fall on her. Can Detective Frasier MacKinnon prove her innocent of the murder?
The story opens with Lindy and her students arriving for class only to discover that a student, Sasha, is dead. The police are called along with the staff. Detective Frasier MacKinnon takes over the case, but right away things don't add up. Lindy appears to be the prime suspect, but doesn't act like it. Further confounding the investigation, Frasier realizes he's attracted to Lindy.
Lindy's stress grows on all fronts. Her ex-husband rarely helps with the children, she looks like the prime suspect in the police investigation, there are finals to grade, her doctorate thesis is due soon, and the school counselor, Borowski, is riding her to finish her grant application.
Lindy decides to take matters into her own hands and begins to question her students about Sasha. She soon discovers Sasha was bad news and was dealing drugs. Shortly afterwards, Lindy starts receiving threats.
Frasier sticks close to Lindy to protect her, but their mutual attraction begins to get in the way. Can Frasier and Lindy get it together to make it work or will the case drive them apart?
"To Catch A Cop" shifts between first person Lindy and third person Frasier. Drushkin's writing is sharp and makes this challenge look easy. She captures a strong first person voice, engaging the reader and taking them along for the ride with Lindy.
Drushkin's plot is clever and witty. I found myself rooting for Lindy at every turn.
The characters shine. Lindy is a little older, struggling with a mountain of problems that everyone can identify with, yet Lindy doesn't let her problems weigh her down. She's a modern everyday heroine to be admired.
Frasier MacKinnon is a hero that the reader can root for. He's handsome, sharp, and determined to finish what he starts. His attraction to Lindy is unexpected, yet he does his best to solve the case.
If anything, the font on the ebook changes and there are several typos, but that did not take away from my enjoyment of the overall story.
The novel is sensual for romance readers and the love scene is tasteful. Drushkin strikes a wonderful balance between the comedic and suspenseful elements of the story. "To Catch A Cop" will warm your heart, leave you biting your nails, and have you cheering for Lindy from start to finish.
