Summary: A Great Mystery...
Review: I love a mystery that I cannot "figure out" until the author chooses to reveal it. This book is exactly that - it kept me guessing the entire time, turning page after page to get to the end. The explaination of the the division and the legalities of prosecution are well written to be understood by all. I'm awaiting the next one in the series!

Summary: Cover-to-Cover Page Turner!
Review: Parental Source is an absolute treat. I found myself reading at lightning speed, trying to get to the next page, the next twist! The story and characters draw the reader into this impressively believable tale without resorting to cheap 'shock plots.' Chris Freeburn does an excellent job of explaining police procedures to the reader via story lines, making it an intelligent yet easy read without compromising the continuity of the story. I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series!

Summary: A Great Mystery...
Review: Parental Source, Chris Freeburn's first novel, is set in Virginia's Child Crime Division which is run by her lead character, Rayven Forrester. Rayven is not an ex-cop, but a trained social worker and at times struggles to maintain her composure in the face of multiple homocides.

Freeburn's knowledge of police jargon and procedures makes this a lively, fast-paced read. The book never bogs down in police procedure the way some tales in this genre do.

This is a great read!

Summary: Kept me up late...
Review: This book kept me reading until well into the wee hours of the morning. The fast pace and unexpected turns in the plot forced me to finish reading in only two days. I especially liked the different angles of the book: involving police, social work, and legal issues. The relationships between the parties were interesting and always kept me guessing. I enjoyed the internal debate about good/bad police and how I am typically quick to judge; however, this book forced me to re-evaluate my expected position. I read a ton of mystery/suspense books, and I would definitely put Parental Source at the top of my list of recommendations.
