Aftermath by Terri Blackstock

 



A group of friends are at a concert to introduce a man that is wanting to run for President. When a bomb goes off only one of those friends gets out of the building. The police get a tip that Dustin could be the bomber. Dustin is innocent and there is only one person he knows who will believe him and help him. A friend he hasn't kept in touch with. When Jamie gets Dustin's call she drops everything to go help him. As an attorney it is up to her to find the evidence to get him out of the charges and from keeping an angry city from exacting vengeance. 

Author Terri Blackstock never disappoints in the suspense department. Nor does she disappoint in the drama department! I enjoyed both Dustin and Jamie's characters as they were both pretty level-headed and not ruled by their emotions. Yes, they expressed emotions but they did not let those emotions overrun their ability to think and strategize. The story was fast-paced and kept me going from chapter to chapter wanting to see what happened next. I did think that some of the other characters needed a bit more wrap-up at the end. There were a few left hanging that I would have liked to have known what happened to them as a result of their actions. An exciting read and I definitely recommend it!
