“Sin”
by J.M. LeDuc
I’ve read LeDuc’s previous work and was
completely entertained by them. But now, with this new series he’s started, The Sinclair O’Malley series, it’s more
than entertaining. It’s thrilling, it’s quickly-turn-the-page heart racing, and
it’s a series that I will definitely continue to read.
FBI Agent Sinclair O’Malley—known as Sin—is
someone you don’t want to mess around with. Seemingly made of stone, she really
has the heart of gold, but is steadfast and brazen during her missions. She trusts
few people and even those people become suspicious in "Sin."
Her father is dying and this is the time
for Sin to mend fences with him. To do this, she needs to go back home and
while she’s there, her superiors tell her, she can go under the radar and
investigate the mass of young girls’ dead bodies that have been found in the
Keys. And of course, why two FBI agents were murdered there.
Sure, she can go under the pretense of
visiting her sick father. Sure, she can find out why these young girls are being
found murdered. Sure, she can find out what happened to two FBI agents. Sure,
she can go in alone against ruthless killers and sick and twisted individuals without
any back up. Sure; why not?
And when she does, she finds there’s
more to the story than just dead girls and FBI Agents. Connecting with Charlie,
an old friend and previous mentor, Sin sets her sights on Prophet Heap, the new
‘god-loving’ man in town. The very one who has the entire town under his thumb
and the one who ran Sin’s father out of his own church and took it over.
While balancing a reunion with her
father, whom she hasn’t seen in seven years, a friendship and eventual romance
with long-ago nemesis Troy
What Sin and others go through is
harrowing, at best, and can be fatal for Sin and others who try to help her.
This is a thriller you don’t want to miss. LeDuc has shown he’s on top of his
game with some of his best writing. I won’t be missing the rest of this new
series!
