Keep You Close

To my mind this reads like a female version of the Jack Reacher books. The protagonist, Stephanie, is a single parent of an 18-year old boy, working for the FBI. But there’s something in her past that makes her very security aware. One day she gets home and finds her burglar alarm is off. It’s a niggling worry but she doesn’t think too much about it until the next day when, tidying her son’s bedroom, she finds a gun. Then she’s told her son is on the terrorism watch list and suddenly she’s in a race to prove it’s all a set-up and she’s being framed. I thought this was a gripping and fast-paced story, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that it’s been written to become a movie. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it and if I was in a good mood it's definitely worth 4-Stars.
