My Review:

Crosshairs is the third book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series by Patricia Bradley. Each book in the series works well as a standalone novel.

Crosshairs is another fast-paced suspense thriller. The action starts immediately and never lets up. There are a couple of twists you don't see coming.

I liked Ainsley, Linc, and the side characters. Ainsley is very close to her grandmother and aunt but practically estranged from her father. There are a lot of different dynamics to the story, but it comes together pretty seamlessly. I feel like the ending was rushed, and would have liked to have seen a bit more.

Read for:

• 2nd chance romance
• Strong family ties
• unique location
• mysterious diaries
• nonstop action
  

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

Investigative Services Branch (ISB) ranger Ainsley Beaumont arrives in her hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, to investigate the murder of a three-month-pregnant teenager. While she wishes the visit was under better circumstances, she never imagined that she would become the killer's next target--nor that she'd have to work alongside an old flame.

After he almost killed a child, former FBI sniper Lincoln Steele couldn't bring himself to fire a gun, which had deadly and unforeseen consequences for his best friend. Crushed beneath a load of guilt, Linc is working at Melrose Estate as an interpretive ranger. But as danger closes in on Ainsley during her murder investigation, Linc will have to find the courage to protect her. The only question is, will it be too little, too late?

Award-winning author Patricia Bradley continues her Natchez Trace Park Rangers series with a story about how good must prevail when evil just won't quit.
