The story opens as Angel Delaney, a police office, and her
partner arrive on the scene of a pharmacy robbery in progress. Angel chases the
robbers out of the rear of the pharmacy, confronting one in a darkened
warehouse. After the robber raises a gun, Angel shoots and realizes that he is
a kid. When the boy dies, Angel's world falls apart, with the media and the
boy’s relatives attack her and accuse her of being a racist.
This is an exciting, enjoyable mystery romance with a
Christian theme. The themes of racial hatred and Christianity run through the
book, while Angel attempts to deal with the emotions of the killing and issues
in her life. Rushford keeps you guessing about the identity of the killer until
the end of the book. Angel is an enjoyable character as she struggles to deal
with shooting a boy, accusations of racisism, and her unstable faith. Female
readers of detective stories with a romantic twist should pick up a copy of
Deadly Aim. I can’t wait to pick up the next ones in the series, as well as
other Rushford novels.
