A gripping crime thriller that leaves you hanging off every page
I don't typically read a lot of crime thrillers since sometimes the content can make me a bit squeamish, but when I read the excerpt for Redemption Point on Bookish First, I was immediately sucked in. I just had to keep reading to figure out what happened next.
Redemption Point is the sequel to Candice Fox’s crime thriller Crimson Lake. In Redemption Point, we return to Crimson Lake where former police detective Ted Conkfaffey and his partner Amanda Pharrell are launched into the private investigation of a double murder at a bar outside of town.
Ted still faces the repercussions associated with him being accused for the abduction and rape of 13-year-old Claire. Ted lost everything from his job to his family and friends, which is why he attempts to lead a life of isolation in a hideaway that he has constructed in the rainforest. Unfortunately for him, Claire’s father Dale tracks down Ted demanding revenge for his daughter. Ted is now on a race against time to find the true criminal or face the impending wrath that Dale has planned.
The story is a page turner from start to finish. It’s full of non-stop, heart pumping action as we are faced with an enraged father looking for revenge as well as a double murder that desperately needs to be followed. As the plot moves forward, we start to learn of the diary that the actual pedophile kept, which is incredibly disturbing and yet enthralling. Additionally, I really enjoyed watching Ted and Amanda’s dynamic together because you have these two flawed characters that function so much better as a unit.
