The Blurb

Six days to stop a deadly attack. And no one else believes it’s real.

Former CIA undercover operative Ellen McGinley is battling to overcome PTSD when she stumbles upon a domestic terror plot. The deadly attack is due to take place in six days and will strike at the very heart of her homeland.

For Ellen, it’s a chance to find redemption for her greatest mistake – one she will never allow herself to forget.

But no sooner than she alerts the authorities, she finds herself diagnosed as delusional and locked in a psychiatric ward. No one believes her story.

She’s the only one who thinks the danger is real, which means she’s the only one who can stop it.

Ellen must draw on all her old skills to escape, stay alive, protect her family, and find those responsible – before all hell breaks loose.

Committed is the propulsive thriller you won’t want to miss this summer. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci, JB Turner and Robert Dugoni.

Author Quotes

The Review

This blistering plotline takes off right from the first page and doesn’t let up. Ellen is smart and sassy, and you spend the whole novel routing for her to make it and foil the terrorists without getting killed – there are moments when you just don’t know which way it’s going to go or how she is possibly going to escape the situation she finds herself trapped in.

The idea that you can be locked up and drugged against your will for your own safety is terrifying. Add that to the knowledge that something horrific is going to happen and no one believes you, and so only you can stop it, and you genuinely are gripped by this book and held permanently on the edge of your seat to the last page. Just when you think things can’t get any more tense, they do. It’s pacey, twisty, and very clever.

I gave it 5 stars and highly recommend it as your next read!
