5/5 ⭐ | Cornered by Alan Brenham

Temple Police Detective Matt Brady is thrown headfirst into a make-or-break case of his career as time is quickly running out.  Women are going missing, at a rapid rate, as the town of Temple, TX is being rocked by a serial kidnapper.  But the leads are as dry as the Texas heat and the FBI is itching to take over if Detective Brady can’t solve this case soon.

Readers will have their heads on a swivel as women are disappearing right under the police’s nose.  With the bad guys always seemingly a step ahead, Detective Brady is struggling to bring the women home safely.  Is something more nefarious afoot, and who is the ringleader?

As a female, being on the constant look out for danger seems to come with the territory, but the snatchers and organization behind the kidnapping in “Cornered” bring a whole new sense of fear.  The interconnectedness of the criminal organization and plotting behind author Alan Brenham’s “Cornered” are as tight as they are shocking.  Brenham is an expert at creating an ending you won’t see coming, keeping you on the edge until the very last pages. 

As the plot thickens, Matt Brady’s determination to keep those around him safe and bring the victims home safe remains paramount. Readers consistently feel dropped squarely in the lives of Brenham’s characters and Brady is no different.  In signature Brenham fashion, the lead up to the finale takes a personal toll as the boundaries between work and life begin to blur and the safety of those around weighs heavily.

5/5 ⭐ | When Things Fall Apart (The Kit Hanover Series Book 1) by Alan Brenham

Native American Kit Hanover is looking forward to finally landing in homicide, after dreaming of solving homicides throughout the academy.  However, being partnered Detective Wade Shepard is less than ideal.  The constant Pocahontas slurs and references to her Indian bloodlines are making it difficult to remain professional as Shepard rudely takes the investigative lead. At every turn Detective Shepard seeks to throw up roadblocks.  From getting Kit transferred to undercover decoy work on the Vice Human Trafficking team, to cutting her out of the homicide case that takes a personal turn, every bit of this book has readers seething over Shepard’s action. 

Author Alan Brenham crafts a great villain as readers quickly take a liking to Kit Hanover and the barriers she faces in law enforcement, while maintaining a level of mystery and intrigue regarding some of Kit’s strong dislikes and aversions, all of which will hopefully continue to come out as the series progresses.  Brenham, not one to shy away from using unique main characters, once again brings us a strong, representative female to the main page.  Adopted from the Comanche Nation reservation at a young age, Kit Hanover brings a fresh perspective, while injecting some diversity into the law enforcement community.

“When Things Fall Apart” is a strong kick off for Brenham’s new Kit Hanover Series.  Onboarding readers to the Fort Worth Police Department, various players within, and the crimes the various departments investigate.  Providing a powerful introduction to Kit’s family dynamics and personalities, this book will have readers rooting for Kit to succeed.
