Flee the Night - A Book Review

Flee the Night by Susan May Warren didn’t make my tears flee into the night; it brought them forth to my eyes. The ending to Ms. Warren’s romantic suspense novel made me sniff my tears back.

Along the way, Flee the Night brought a chuckle or two. Susan’s heroine, CIA operative on-the-run -– Lacey Montgomery -– needs to find her missing daughter and begin a new life, in that order. The world of conspiracy and terror that her late husband, John, drew her into quickly turned Lacey’s life into a nightmare. Will she ever wake up and find the nightmare gone?

Maybe Jim Micah can help out on that end. Ms. Warren’s hero, Green Beret-on-leave Jim Micah has all the tools Lacey needs to help her with both problems. But will he use them for her? Chances are Lacey’s going to be out of luck. Jim Micah happens to be her former friend and her dead husband’s best friend. Then what’s the problem? Jim Micah happens to believe that Lacey Montgomery has gotten away with murder far too long - the murder of her husband.

This was the first book I’ve read by Susan May Warren, but it won’t be the last. I’m now in search of the next book in the Team Hope series. I’m hoping that Hank and Sarah will be featured. They captured my attention immediately in Flee the Night.
