But just as Lori feels she’s coming out on the other side of her grief, Jack’s assistant at SpringWare, Rita Johnson, discovers information that convinces her that Jack was murdered.
The two women vow to bring the perpetrator to justice. But time is running out, and their names are on someone’s kill list. The truth takes them down a path they never could have suspected. They set out to bring down one of the most powerful men in the country: the director of the National Security Agency. But who will believe them? And how many more will die before they do? Now, they have to decide if they have the courage—and the ability—to finish what they started.
I’ve heard only
good things about A Knock on the Door and jumped at the chance to be a part of this
tour. This is my first book by this author and will not be my last. In A Knock
at the Door, Lori Crawford’s world has been turned upside down when her husband
of 25 years is killed in a car accident. Just as she emerges from the fog of
her grief, Jack’s assistant, Rita Johnson shows up with evidence that Jack was
murdered. Together they embark on bring the perpetrator to justice. The only
problem, he is the director of the National Security Agency and one of the most
powerful men in the country. Wondering whether anyone will believe them, they
find the courage to finish what they started before it’s too late.
This book has
it all – action, intrigue, red herrings, and suspense. The book is well written
with a brilliant cast of characters that add depth to the story. I was engaged
from start to finish and literally could not put this one down. I stayed up WAY
too late reading and do not regret one moment of it or how sleepy I was the
following day. The setting is vividly described which had me feeling like I was
walking beside Lori and Rita as they put the puzzle pieces together.
Overall, I
highly recommend this book to all thriller lovers. The writing is substantive,
and I appreciate that the characters are middle aged, being middle aged myself,
I identified with the characters and felt a bit nostalgic at times. I loved all
the twists and turns as the truth slowly revealed itself to the reader. The
final twist left me breathless!

In her sixty-three years of life, Roberta Fernandez, a board-certified hypnotist, didn’t know that she had a story waiting to be told.
In 2006, she attended a weeklong memoir-writing class conducted by a bestselling author, Joyce Maynard. Joyce worked hard to bring out Roberta’s best work, in spite of her self-perceived lack of talent. While it was an awesome experience to be instructed by a well-known author, Roberta determined that writing about herself was not a talent she possessed.
As a first-time author, Roberta now understands she was simply destined to write in a different genre. She enjoys creating relatable characters and watching the story unfold as she types. Like her readers, she wonders what’s going to happen next. A sequel is already being written as this book is published. Who knows what words will flow across the page in the next fifteen years!
