Keep Her Safe (Unabridged‪)‬

Police corruption

Keep Her Safe is a story about police department corruption. A fourteen year old cold case is hidden to protect the department. Noah and Gracie suffer the fallout of the lies being kept by a corrupt police department. Noah and Gracie only have each other to count as they search for the truth wanting justice for Abe.
Noah is the son of a well respected decorated police chief. His mother Commander Jackie Marshall worked her way into the ranks of a high profile leader in the police department. Fourteen years ago his mother changed. She began drinking to the point of passing out on a regular basis. Something heavy was weighing her down.
Gracie is the daughter of a well respected officer. Officer Abraham Wilkes is a good man and a good cop.

Chief Canning noticed a big problem with the drugs coming into Austin with Austin being a hundred miles away from Mexico decided to assign officers to a narcotics field unit. But then a new chief took office shutting down the teams due to budget cuts. That’s when a patrol officer began reselling the drugs he stole from the dealers. Not long after, Abraham Wilkes turns up dead in a motel room with Hernandez.

The timeline alternates between 2017 (the present) and 2003 (the past) with Noah and Grace alternating points of view.
There were several components that made up this storyline. The delivery of information was certainly not the issue. With the help of Officer Abraham Wilkes and Commander Jackie Marshall providing detailed information about what transpired back in 2003 it helped assist in connecting the pieces.
I was super excited to read a romantic suspense by Ms. Tucker. She is extremely thoroughal in her character development as well as setting up the concept.
Ms. Tucker lives in Canada yet she writes a believable story about the Austin Police Department in Texas. Her knowledge about drug dealers and police corruption was pretty accurate.
Ms. Tucker set off to create a romantic suspense. But first she built a compelling story about police corruption with secondary romantic scenes. I liked that the romance easily blended into the storyline it wasn’t forced nor did it take away from the concept. The suspense comes from the police activity that happened in 2003 which is explained in past scenes. Of course, once everything begins to unfold the story comes alive with all the nasty secrets and lies of a true coverup. I loved all the interwoven pieces of this concept and the way Ms. Tucker delivered them.
Eventhough I loved the concept and the delivery of the concept I still struggled with certain aspects of her storytelling. There were so many scenes were the details were too extensive.

This is an unabridged duet with multiple narrators. I am certainly glad I had these narrators to get me through Keep Her Safe. With the four different points of view it helped have a distinguished separation of voice talents performing these characters.
