Review: Intervention by Terri Blackstock

ABOUT THE BOOK


Barbara Covington has one more chance to save her daughter from a devastating addiction, by staging an intervention. But when eighteen-year-old Emily disappears on the way to drug treatment—and her interventionist is found dead at the airport—Barbara enters her darkest nightmare of all.

Barbara and her son set out to find Emily before Detective Kent Harlan arrests her for a crime he is sure she committed. Fearing for Emily’s life, Barbara maintains her daughter’s innocence. But does she really know her anymore? Meanwhile, Kent has questions of his own. His gut tells him that this is a case of an addict killing for drugs, but as he gets to know Barbara, he begins to hope he’s wrong about Emily.

The panic level rises as the mysteries intensify: Did Emily’s obsession with drugs lead her to commit murder—or is she another victim of a cold-blooded killer?

MY THOUGHTS

I found Intervention to be an interesting suspense novel revolving around a mother who has sent her daughter to a rehab facility.

I felt a little bogged down by the mental thoughts of Barbara. I know I was supposed to feel like I was inside her mind / heart and build an emotional attachment to her as a hurting mother, but I just didn’t connect with her. I did, however, really like the characters of Detective Kent Harlan and Lance Covington, Emily’s brother.

The storyline contains a few unexpected twists (where would suspense be without a few twists?!?) and I know that’s what kept me turning the pages. Overall, I enjoyed Intervention and would recommend it for those who enjoy a little suspense in their books.
