Possession by Rene Gutteridge*A REVIEW


ABOUT POSSESSION
In the aftermath of investigating the D.C. sniper case, police detective Vance Graegan is burned out on life and love. Hoping to save his marriage, he quits the force and moves his wife and son to the other side of the country. But when the movers decide to hold his belongings for ransom, Vance is determined to ensure that his family’s new beginning is not ruined. Soon, though, losing his possessions becomes the least of his problems as everything they are fighting for begins to unravel in the hands of Vance’s past. In an unforgettable climax, a little boy’s innocent faith brings a group of desperate people to their knees. What is at stake counts for everything, but nothing can prepare Vance for who is behind it.

MY REVIEW
I love books by Rene Gutteridge.
Possession is a mystery/suspense, one of my favorite kind of books.
Vance and Lindy Graegan along with son Connor, are moving to California to begin a new life and different career choice. Vance was a police officer, during the D.C. sniper investigations. He hasn’t gotten over the stress and the things he has seen. His partner, Erin, saved his life once, she had trouble with drinking too much. Vance tried to help her, but Erin doesn’t see it like that.
A problem starts when Joe, the mover, will not unload their possessions because the condo is too far from the curb and he will charge an large amount each day he has to store the items. Things start happening when Vance and Lindy confront Joe, and Vance begins to investigate.
In this book you will ask yourself what would I do if my possession were held for ransom? Also we find out some things about post-traumatic stress disorder, also how a child believes and prays.
Things really build in the ending few chapters and you won’t believe the way things happen. “Possession” is an adrenaline rushing, page-turning book. I highly recommend this to read and reread. Thanks to Rene Gutteridge for another fantastic suspenseful read.
