All I could think while reading this book was that the police department was made up of people who wanted to play cop but never bothered to actually train to be one. And they were the homicide detectives. It really reminded me of the Steve Martin movie Roxanne when he's talking to the fire department and tells them that if some sees a fire and says "what ever you do don't call the fire department" it would be bad. That's the perfect example of how I felt this police force was described. Don't call them because they'll just mess things up. There was also no romance. This was the story of an extremely damaged woman being taken advantage of by someone who should know better. Liv acts like a child and has the mental processes of one. She doesn't think, breaks down at the drop of a hat and can't reason or really be reasoned with. She has impulse issues. She needed help not a boyfriend. Through out this book she doesn't grow or change. This is the first book by Nancy Bush that I've read. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but the plot sounded interesting so I decided to give it a go. Overall, I thought Nowhere to run was a good, solid and entertaining read. I didn't dislike this book, but I also didn't love it.I was confused as to whether or not this was a romantic suspense novel or just a suspense novel with a little bit of romance in it. I felt there was more focus on the suspense and the who-dunit aspect of the story than the romance between Liv and August. They just all of a sudden became romantically involved. I was also perplexed as to the large amount of attention given to August's sister September (boy did I groan and roll my eyes at their names! :) in the book. Only after I finished did I realize that there was a sequel which stars September as the main character. It took me a while to really get into the story but once I did, I began to enjoy it a bit more. I was intrigued enough by the loose end left in this book that I might read the next one in the series.
What do You think about En Ligne De Mire (2014)?
It was OK, but the ending could have been different.
