My thoughts: I read and reviewed Jordyn Redwood's previous three books and thoroughly enjoyed them. Her first release from Love Inspired Suspense publishing is not a disappointment. An individual is thrust into the violence of the world of murder and intrigue and is the victim of the Hangman who has notoriously hung several victims.
Fractured Memory is a fast paced suspense with danger lurking and attempts to stamp out Julia's life at nearly every turn. Julia and Eli, her US Marshal protector, are thrown into a variety of situations where her safety is compromised and her life endangered.
I found Jordyn's medical expertise peeking through in circumstances throughout the book. Julia's profession as an ER nurse is an echo of the author's own experience in the pediatric ER. It is evident that both the protagonist and the author both share a love of the medical profession.
There is a touch of sweet romance blossoming between Julia and Eli but it is not an overpowering factor in the story. Redwood handles this very well and discretely.
I enjoyed Fractured Memory and look forward to more reads from Jordyn Redwood.
About the book: United States marshal Eli Cayne saved Julia Galloway's life once…and he's prepared to do it again. But his task would be easier if she could remember him—or the murderer who almost put her in an early grave and seems to be hunting her once more. To protect Julia from the latest threat against her life, Eli has to consider the possibility that he put an innocent man in jail. Julia has no memories of the serial killer called The Hangman, though, and no reason to trust Eli. But with the killer getting closer, she must work with Eli to confront her past—and the feelings growing between them.

DeleteWho are some of your favorite medical suspense writers?
I have not yet read any of Jordyn's books. I do like reading medical suspense and would enjoy starting the new series with "Fractured Memory".
ReplyDeleteHi Dianne,
DeleteThanks so much for leaving a comment. Fractured Memory is a stand alone book. Which is nice because you get some exposure to my writing without being locked into a series.
But if you do like series fiction then I'd love for you to check out Proof, Poison, and Peril.

ReplyDeleteIt appears I have two of her books on my Kindle and I didn't realize it (Proof and Peril)! And yes, I LOVE medical suspense. The two authors I enjoy are Harry Kraus and Richard Mabry.
ReplyDeleteJust a heads up (and it may be just me) but the picketfence hasn't been working for a couple of days. I've tried on my laptop, my Kindle and my desktop computer but it comes up as "Unavailable". Hopefully it's just the site, anyway, just wanted to let you know!
DeleteHi Trixi,
DeleteI love that I'm already on your Kindle. Let me know what you think of the novels once you've read them.
I have never read any of Jordyn's books. I usually do not like medical themes.
