Power Struggle by Carolyn Arnold {Book Review}

Disclosure: I received a complimentary ebook copy of this book exchange for an honest review.

One hit man who’s back for revenge.

One detective who’s not going down without a fight.

It’s been ten months since Detective Madison Knight almost died at the hands of Russian Mafia hit man Constantine Romanov. She hasn’t seen hide nor hair of him since he escaped police custody and fled to Russia soon after his arrest, except now her latest murder investigation gives her reason to believe he’s back in town. Seeing as the victim is the man who killed her grandfather, her perspective may be a little skewed, but with the MO smacking of Constantine and the victim’s connections to the mob, she finds it hard to be objective. Still, she’s doing her best to consider all the evidence.

When she receives a threatening letter from Constantine, however, her suspicions are confirmed. And he’s made it abundantly clear that not only does he plan to finish what he started but he has her family and loved ones in the crosshairs, too. Madison vows to do whatever it takes to save them, but as the hours race by, the body count rises. And the stakes only get higher when Madison’s sister, Chelsea, goes missing.

Now, Madison’s only play is to take Chelsea’s disappearance for what it really means: Constantine is calling Madison out for one final showdown. And they won’t both survive…

Leels Loves Books Book Reviews

I am a total sucker for television crime dramas. I love the mystery and the finding the clues and the evidence and piecing the puzzle together. The suspicious suspects and the questioning, trying to get to the bottom of what they are hiding and if they did it or not.

Carolyn Arnold is a master at that and Power Struggle was a crime television show in written form!

I have loved all of Carolyn’s writing and I am sure I have read the precursor to Power Struggle but I for the life of me, it will not come to the forefront of my brain – but that’s okay! Nothing about the book made me feel like I needed the background that I was missing. I wasn’t lost, I followed along no problem – it just would have been nice to recall.

I don’t recall reading anything previously where Madison was so personally involved in a case and I think that made me want to crawl deeper into the mystery and the case with her – it was personal and dangerous and put her at risk – but we have to solve the case!

There were many shady characters that definitely kept me guessing throughout.

Carolyn Arnold writes excellent books and if you are a person who loves crime as much as I do – you don’t want to miss any of her books!
