Crisis Shot by Janice Cantore

Tess O’Rourke dreams of becoming the first female chief of police in Long Beach, California. As commander of the East Division, she is well on her way . . . until the night she responds to an officer-needs-assistance call and fatally shoots an unarmed teenager. Despite being cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury, Tess is so hounded by the public that she takes a job in Oregon to escape the bad press.

Winning over the residents of Rogue’s Hollow might be more difficult than adjusting to her new role as police chief in the small, backwater town. Especially when her closest friend, the pastor’s wife, goes missing and the woman’s cousin is found shot. Tess finds an ally in sheriff’s deputy Steve Logan, but as they track down Rogue’s Hollow’s first murderer, she worries that she’s breaking one of her rules and getting too close to him.

This is Tess's journey to over come a bad situation that results in the shooting of a teenager.  Tess doesn't have a strong faith background so I didn't find a lot of faith brought out.  The pastor had a very strong faith that was shown during his darkest hour.

I found the book to be a little slow starting out.  I was expecting more mystery than there actual was.  It is a who done it.  But not a suspenseful who done it.  A lot of the mysteries I read I have trouble putting down.  I went several days without picking this one up.  All of that said.  I have enjoyed all the books Janice Cantore that I have read.  I look forward to reading her next book.

I was given this book by the publisher for an honest review.  I was not compensated in anyway.
