This book is great! My best friend told me to read this and I think it is her favorite too. The whole series is about the same town and the same people so when you read the first book you will have to read all of them. I also recommend anything by Terri Blackstock.

Having just finished the Cape Refuge series, I moved on to another by starting Private Justice, the 1st book in the Newpointe 911 series. (Subsequent books, in order, are: Shadow of Doubt, Word of Honor, Trial by Fire, and Line of Duty.)

I would agree that the premise of this book may be somewhat far-fetched, but suspension of disbelief is part of the enjoyment. Everything doesn't have to be so totally realistic.

As in the Cape Refuge series, Newpointe 911 introduces us to characters we grow to care about. Assuming they continue throughout the series...have only read this 1st one so far.

I will admit I grew a little tired of the "misunderstanding" between Mark and Allie about Mark's supposed straying from the marriage vows. She jumps to conclusions after walking in on Mark hugging a female colleague and he gives in and moves out way too meekly. As his devotion to her proves itself over and over, she steadfastly continues to be angry. It takes a near fatal injury to bring them both around....too formulaic? Maybe, but I say overlook it and just enjoy the book.

I'm a new Terri Blackstock fan, but she has me hooked now! I love the way she manages to get the message of Christ into each book. And the suspense in this kept me on the edge of my chair. I like to read anyway, but I literally could not put this one down until I had finished it. I hope she writes more Newpointe 911 novels!

This novel focuses on the firemen in Newpointe and their wives. First one wife is murdered--and then another! It soon becomes obvious that a killer is stalking the firemen's wives. Mark Branning is determined to keep his wife safe, but that is difficult to do because she kicked him out of the house for a suspected affair. But they each love the other, and they are Christians, so they reach out to God for help. And we know that the Holy Spirit is always there with us, regardless of what happens. It is definitely an exciting and fulfilling read!

I am reading the "Cape Refuge" series and love it. Now she has scored another homerun with the first installment of the "911" series. I love Christian mystery and Terri Blackstock does it better than any author I have found.

Terri Blackstock had me hooked by the second chapter of her amazing book. Me being an avid reader of hers, I had expectations that were met by the first half of the book, love, suspense, and mystery. She writes with such ease, she lures you in. I fell in love with the two main characters, Mark and Allie, and hoped taht some fire would spark between them. But the story within the book, was Dan and Jill. Reading the first two books, I've realized their love story is a basis for the whole series. I would recommend this book to an avid reader of suspense. It will not get your hopes hope!
