Welcome readers!

Although I have many favorite books and authors, I was happy to end this past year with Marie Force’s new book in her First Family series, State of Preservation. It’s the 10th book in this series and this series is the continuation of the Fatal series.

A missing child. A nation watching. A family pushed to the brink.

When Lieutenant Sam Holland’s phone rings with the words every parent dreads—“Ethan is missing”—her world stops cold. Her eleven-year-old nephew has vanished without a trace from the streets of Washington, D.C., and the First Family is thrown into chaos. As both aunt and investigator, Sam must balance heart-wrenching fear with her duty to uncover the truth.
