New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin “delivers the goods” (Publishers Weekly) again with the eleventh title in the gritty, heart-pounding Tracers series.

When a lakeside tryst ends in a double murder, police detective Daniele Harper arrives on the scene determined to get answers. Clues are everywhere, but nothing adds up. Dani turns to the Delphi Center crime lab for help, but soon regrets it when her secret attraction to their chief firearms examiner threatens to distract her from the most important case of her career.

As a ballistics expert and former Navy SEAL, Scott Black knows firearms, and he knows he can help Dani unravel her case. Scott has managed to hide his interest in his best friend’s younger sister for years, but when her investigation brings them together, the sparks between them quickly burn out of control. Scott resolves to keep his hands off Dani and his eyes on the goal—identifying a killer. But when that killer zeroes in on her, all bets are off. There isn’t a line Scott won’t cross to convince Dani to trust him so that he can help her take down a ruthless murderer who has her in his sights.

Sometimes you read a book and a secondary character just grabs your attention and will not let go. In Laura Griffin’s “Tracers” series, that character was Delphi Center ballistics expert Scott Black. The moment he pulled his big, bad pick-up truck up to Mia Voss’s house in “Unforgivable,” Tracers book #3, I was fascinated. Every Tracers book that came out, I hungrily devoured and loved each one. But like a stalker, I craved a mention of the mysterious Mr. Black. So when he finally got “his” book, I pre-ordered and awaited the Kindle fairies delivery. I could not wait for that moment I opened the book up to Chapter One….

Detective Daniele Harper knows Scott Black a long, long time. Not only has she had a crush on him for years, but after the hot New Year’s Eve kiss they shared, Dani has been crushing even more. But those feelings have to take a back seat to the case Dani is now placed in charge of….a lakeside double homicide with no leads. The Delphi Center techs, including Scott, are working it as well. But when the only clues start to point to Scott as a suspect, Dani finds herself between the proverbial rock and hard place!

This author is truly a master at writing romantic suspense. Not only are the “Tracers” books well-written, but they all have the perfect balance of intense romance and riveting suspense. After 11 books, this series just keeps getting better and better. The police procedural aspects in the book are spot on and only enhance the twists and turns the case takes. The chemistry between Dani and Scott just steams up from the pages; never were a couple more perfectly matched in every way. We finally get to see underneath the handsome, calm, efficient exterior of our favorite ballistics expert to discover a multifaceted man who too has harbored feelings for Dani that he suppressed exploring. I cannot recommend enough that you put “At Close Range” in your reading sights; it is a must-read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2017

This was the first book I've ever pre-ordered and the expectations had been rising for two months. As the book was delivered to my Kindle yesterday I was so antsy... my hands were literally shaking...Ufff! :)
So as I started reading the book I was becoming more and more frustrated. I could not shake the feeling that I was rereading some other story, perhaps even some of Griffin's older works. I still cannot pinpoint it exactly (as I would have to do a thorough research to say for sure), but the idea behind the storyline was just too worn out or even kliche for my taste. So we have a young detective and a hunky ex SEAL, who had been framed for a double murder. She has a huge crush on him and wants to clear him out, but he is determined to seek justice on his own. As the investigation progresses, they delve into a dark tangle of secrets.

I was sooo looking forward to reading Scott's story (we first meet him in Tracers series Unforgivable, then Exposed and as a marginal character in some other stories), so to some extent he was just what I expected. Determined, self-sufficient, masculine, overprotective, quiet, but at the same time hiding a vulcano of emotions underneath the surface. I expected these emotions to come rushing out more frequently in quarrels with Dani, since he's supposed to be such an adrenaline junkie and all... Her fierceness and determination to prove herself were mostly visible when they were together. But as a lead detective, she struggeled with the responsibility and most of the time the case was fueled by leads from other detectives. As for the relationship with Scott, there was a strong chemistry and I loved the long looks and stares between them. Not to mention the hot steamy scenes ... However, since they had such a long history together, I was disappointed that none of them wanted any mention of it. Why? Wasn't that the reason they held back all these years? And something else. Mia and Ric. In this story, both play an important part of the investigation eventhough Mia is about to have a baby. But Mia and Scott also go way back, they grew up in the same neighbourhood and she was always like his little sister, so a reader would expect Mia to be a link or at least a moral support to either Dani or Scott. But the author decided to omit it completely. Strange? I felt it missing.

So all in all I really liked the book. It was at times full of action and mystery. The plot ending was unexpected and I'm glad the innitial frustration didn't avert me from finishing the book. I gave it a 4-star, because there were parts I was missing, but overall, I think it's a superb writing and Griffin did it again!
I'm looking forward to reading the next story of Brooke and Sean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readers Folow A Team Effort To Solve A Complicated Murder.
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017

Laura Griffin’s AT CLOSE RANGE is heart-stopping romantic suspense thriller full of action and surprises. The author immediately grabs her readers’ attention with a double murder on the first page. She keeps them on the edge their seats until the very end. Griffin weaves her mystery thriller around her protagonists, San Marcos PD detective Dani Harper and Scott Black, the Delphi Center’s Chief firearms expert. Readers learn both professional and personal backstories of Dani and Scott, including details of the hidden feelings they have for each other.

Griffin places readers next to Dani as she uncovers clues that bring more questions into her investigation. She helps readers see Dani’s determination and independence as the investigation proceeds. The author keeps creating opportunities to bring Dani and Scott together and places readers in the middle of the developing relationship between Dani and Scott. The pace of the investigation picks up momentum, and the more Dani and Scott work together the more their relationship intensifies.

The storyline’s action and danger increase at the turn of the page. Griffin introduces several support characters both good and bad providing backstories of each character and the roles they play as they enter the storyline. The author describes the importance the lab work the Delphi Center provides to the ongoing investigation. Following up on the results from the lab increases the action and danger for Dani and Scott. Griffin adds interesting twists and turns changing the storyline’s direction. Events unfold at a lightening pace. The author keeps readers on pins and needles guessing about Dani and Scott’s romance and the unpredictable ending the mystery.

When she first introduced us to Scott Black in previous novels she tempted us with little insights into his personality. With At Close Range she didn't disappoint, his big sexy character came to life with a woman who was his match. Loved the book.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

Young detective Dani is made lead detective on a double homicide which on the surface seems to be a crime of passion. As the investigation continues, ballistics expert on the case Scott becomes a suspect. But Dani has known Scott for 15 years and knows he didn't do it, regardless of what the evidence says.

The crime solving is the star of this book but the romance is always there bubbling along in the background. Scott is Dani's brother's best friend and she has always crushed on him. But she knows that Scott is not a relationship kind of a guy and that he has issues resulting from his time as a Navy Seal. Scott thinks Dani's should probably stay away from him but he can't get her out of his mind and he can't stay away from her.

Along the way more murders are committed that put Dani and Scott in danger and has them dodging bullets. What I love about watching the Dani, Scott and the cops follow the clues to solve this crime is that never in a million years would I have guess the motive for the murders. If you love a crime solving mystery At Close Range is definitely a book to add to your reading list.

A fairly light read, but I enjoyed it. Lots of action, some kind of cheesy romantic scenes, and a decent overall story.
