Book Review: In Control by John W Mefford


NEW RELEASE….


A child is kidnapped, sending a mother into a panicked frenzy. It’s one of a dozen such crimes across central Texas, targeting those who live behind the pristine brick walls of master planned communities.

Ivy Nash hunts the kidnappers, but she quickly sees this case morph into something else entirely different…more dangerous, more twisted than anyone could imagine.

At the same time, the father of Ivy’s long-time friend pleads with her to do what no friend would ever want. But what she learns could shatter their worlds. An international drug trafficking ring. A professional hit. And one cover-up after another.

Secrets from the past are exposed, but how can Ivy separate reality from a smokescreen of falsehoods? With lives on the line, she can’t fail. The clock is ticking…

My Review of In Control by John W Mefford

Yet another amazing book by John W Mefford. I said it a few years ago and I will say it again. I have found another favorite author and I just can’t put his books down.

In Control follows Ivy Nash as she gets settled into her new offices and is looking forward to to getting down to business. Then crazy things happen, first her best friends dad comes in wanting her to look into his daughters fiancée, then drunk lady crashes into a sign outside of Ivy’s office. The lady turns out to be a women who needs Ivy’s help, but talking either case is going to cause Ivy a few headache’s.

Should Ivy take either case is her question, one could hurt her best friend, the other is for a women who can’t seem to stay sober long enough to give helpful information.

What I really love about this book is that it brings characters from the Alex Troutt Thrillers over and you get to know them a little more, it’ also has so many weird twist and turns that you really have no idea what is going on until the end. The end is crazy and so awesome in a good and bad way, good because reading it is a a huge thrill ride, but bad because of what happens. I don’t write spoilers so you will have to check out the book to see what I mean.

I recommend this book and the other books in the series to anyone who loves a good thriller and is looking for something that will entice them, make them not want to stop reading and make you think a little as well.

Q&A with author John W. Mefford:
Q: What do the Ivy Nash Thrillers have to do with the Redemption Thriller Series?

JWM: The Ivy Nash Thrillers comprise the second sub-series in the Redemption Thriller Series. The Alex Troutt Thrillers are the first sub-series. While I’ll eventually write a series that connects the major characters and plots from all the sub-series, you don’t have to read the AT books prior to the IN books. But I have to say, the AT thrillers are darn good.

Q: So you’re saying you don’t have to read the Alex Troutt Thrillers before the Ivy Nash Thrillers?

JWM: Nope. While a few of the characters might occasionally overlap between the series, they can be read as stand-alone. And then I’ll wrap everything up in a final set of six novels that connects all of the main characters and stories from each sub-series. If you haven’t read any of the Alex Troutt thrillers yet, you can try out the first three at a pretty nice discount. Just search for Alex Troutt Box Set.

Q: Can you give some insight into how Ivy Nash might connect to Alex Troutt down the line?

JWM: Sure…and then I’ll send over a hit squad. Seriously, I’ll be sprinkling in a few clues along the way for those who pay close attention to the details, but it will all come together in that final six novels of the Redemption Thriller Series. And it will be explosive and gut-wrenching at the same time.

Q: How many different sub-series are you planning to have in the Redemption Thriller Series?

JWM: Right now, I see four sub-series in the Redemption Thriller Series, with six novels in each. It’s the most challenging and fulfilling creative endeavor I’ve undertaken. I hope you enjoy the journey.
