5.25.2025 - Burned Bridges

Burned Bridges by John Gilstrap 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Kensington Publishing, and Recorded Books Media for gifting me an audio ARC of this first in a new series by John Gilstrap, perfectly narrated by Natalia Payne.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!

Former FBI Director Irene Rivers was anxious to get away from DC politics and settle into a quiet life in a small town in West Viriginia with her kids.  But when a dead body is found on her property, evidence points to murder and a cover up.  Soon the family is the target of threats and intimidation.  

 This was a new-to-me author, but I was looking for an audiobook and this was available to listen before its release date.  And I'm so glad that I picked it, because I was soon completely immersed in this gritty, West Virginia small town story.  It's action packed and thrilling, and it's going to make a great series.  Irene was such a strong woman main character, but the secondary characters, including her kids, were fleshed out and realistic.  Sign me up for the next in this series - I can't wait!
