Making a Murderer meets Scandal in this story of police corruption, family secrets, and illicit affairs from bestselling author K.A. Tucker, celebrated for her “propulsive plot twists and searing seduction” (USA TODAY). Noah Marshall has known a privileged and comfortable life thanks to his mother, the highly decorated chief of the Austin Police Department. But all that changes the night she reveals a skeleton that's been rattling in her closet for years, and succumbs to the guilt of destroying an innocent family's life. Reeling with grief, Noah is forced to carry the burden of this shocking secret. Gracie Richards wasn't born in a trailer park, but after fourteen years of learning how to survive in The Hollow, it's all she knows anymore. At least here people don't care that her dad was a corrupt Austin cop, murdered in a drug deal gone wrong. Here, she and her mother are just another family struggling to survive...until a man who clearly doesn't belong shows up on her doorstep. Despite their differences, Noah and Gracie are searching for answers to the same questions, and together, they set out to uncover the truth about the Austin Police Department's dark and messy past. But the scandal that emerges is bigger than they bargained for, and goes far higher up than they ever imagined. Complex, gritty, sexy, and thrilling, Keep Her Safe solidifies K.A. Tucker's reputation as one of today's most talented new voices in romantic suspense.
⭐️ 4.5 "Thrilling Investigation" Stars ⭐️
I don’t read a lot of suspense, but from time to time I enjoy changing things a little. When I saw the blurb of Keep Her Safe, I was already intrigued and needed to read this story.
While the beginning is a little slow, once Noah and Gracie starts their quest to prove her father’s innocence, it’s a real page turner. Throughout the story, new clues pile up and you just want to finally uncover this whole story of corruption inside the police force of Austin. I enjoyed the way the story is written in the present and the past. We enjoy the thrill of the investigation, but also we experience the real events that took place in the past as the mystery is gradually resolved. By the end of the book, I just couldn’t put my book down and was left speechless with the level of treachery unveiled. It’s so much bigger than the initial purpose of Noah and Gracie’s journey.
K.A. Tucker captivated me with her engaging characters and multiple twists that left me dumbfounded in the end. Keep Her Safe is an addictive read that’s for sure.
