This is not the first book by Diane Fanning that I have
read. As a matter of fact, I have quite a few of her books on my book shelf.
Chain Reaction is the latest in her Lucinda Pierce series.
I like this series. With each book, it's like getting back
together with a friend. I like Lucinda.
When a bomb goes off at a high school, two bodies are found
in the aftermath. The FBI move in to investigate, but Lucinda, a homicide
investigator, doesn't agree with the FBI's theory of what happened. Lucinda begins
to investigate on her own. She's not alone, though. She has the backup of her
boyfriend, FBI Agent Jake Lovett.
In addition to the bombing, there's a suspicious teacher
who's not above soliciting the male students.
I like books with female protagonists. I especially like
ones like Lucinda: smart, determined, concerned, involved. The people in
Fanning's books come to life. Some of them you'd like to sit down and have
coffee with in the morning. Some you'd like to punch. There are no cartoon
characters, only ones that are believable and relatable. Ones that you'd like
to meet again in another book.
