"Flight Risk" by Cara Putman -- Book Review, Blog Tour, and Giveaway

About the Book

Book:  Flight Risk
Author: Cara Putman
Genre:  Romantic Legal Suspense
Release Date: April 7, 2020
Bestselling author Cara Putman returns with a romantic legal thriller that will challenge the assumptions of truth tellers everywhere.
Savannah Daniels has worked hard to build her law practice, to surround herself with good friends, and to be the loyal aunt her troubled niece can always count on. But since her ex-husband’s betrayal, she has trouble trusting anyone.
Jett Glover’s father committed suicide over a false newspaper report that ruined his reputation. Now a fierce champion of truth, Jett is writing the story of his journalism career—an international sex-trafficking exposé that will bring down a celebrity baseball player and the men closest to him, including Savannah’s ex-husband.
When Jett’s story breaks, tragedy ensues. Then a commercial airline crashes, and one of Savannah’s clients is implicated in the crash. Men connected to the scandal, including her ex, begin to die amid mysterious circumstances, and Savannah’s niece becomes an unwitting target.
Against their better instincts, Jett and Savannah join ranks to sort the facts from fiction. But can Savannah trust the reporter who threw her life into chaos? And can Jett face the possibility that he’s made the biggest mistake of his life?
My Thoughts

I have only read one other book by Cara Putman, but this is the first mystery of hers that I've read. I was drawn into the story and wanted to keep reading. I felt the book was well written. The legal/lawyer aspect was kept to a minimum so I didn't feel lost as to what was going on. I did figure out who the "vigilante" was about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through the book, but there were still twists that I didn't see coming. "Flight Risk" didn't show that it was part of a series, but the way that Savannah Daniels' friends are mentioned, it feels like there was more to those stories. They have their own books in the Hidden Justice series. It wasn't a big thing, but it did leave me feeling like I was on the outside looking in like I was the new kid and everyone already knows each other. I look forward to reading more books by Cara Putman in the future.

About the Author

Since the time she could read Nancy Drew, Cara has wanted to write mysteries. In 2005 she attended a book signing at her local Christian bookstore. The rest, as they say, was history. There she met a fellow Indiana writer Colleen Coble. With prompting from her husband, Cara shared her dream with Colleen. Since those infamous words, Cara’s been writing award-winning books. She is currently writing book 33 and dreaming up future books, not hard when she sees what-ifs everywhere.
Cara Putman is an active member of ACFW and gives back to the writing community through her service on Executive Board. She has also been the Indiana ACFW chapter president and served as the Area Coordinator for Indiana.
Cara is also an attorney, full-time lecturer at a Big Ten university, active in women’s ministry, and all around crazy woman. Crazy about God, her husband and her kids that is. She graduated with honors from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Go Huskers!), George Mason Law School, and Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management.

    Thanks so much for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed the twists and turns. Technically Flight Risk is a stand alone, but there are characters from other books that show up. I'm sorry that unsettled the reading for you!
