The Protector, The Healer and The Rescuer by Dee Henderson

These are the last three of Dee Henderson's O'Malley series. All are wonderful crime novels with no garbage to get in the way of the story. This is the second time I have read the series and just loved it.

THE PROTECTOR (O'Malley #4) Jack O'Malley is a fireman who is fearless when it comes to facing an inferno. But when an arsonist begins targeting his district, his shift, his friends, Jack faces the ultimate challenge: protecting the lady who saw the arsonist before she pays an even higher price…

THE HEALER (O'Malley #5) Rachel O'Malley works disasters for a living, her specialty helping children through trauma. When a school shooting rips through her community, she finds herself dealing with more than just grief among the children she is trying to help. There's a secret. One of them was there. One of them saw the shooting. And the gun is still missing...

THE RESCUER (O'Malley #6) Stephen O'Malley is a paramedic who has been rescuing people all his life. His friend Meghan is in trouble: Stolen jewels are turning up in interesting places and she's in the middle of it. Stephen's about to run into a night he will never forget: a kidnapping, a tornado, and a race to rescue the woman he loves.

The Truth Seeker by Dee Henderson

Number three in the O'Malley series and just as gripping as the rest have been.

DESCRIPTION:

Women are turning up dead, and Lisa O'Malley has a habit of walking into crime scenes, curious. She's a forensic pathologist, and mysteries are her domain. U.S. marshall Quinn Diamond has found loving her is easier than keeping her safe. Lisa's found the killer, and now shes missing too.

The Guardian by Dee Henderson

Another great Dee Henderson book. This is #2 in the O'Malley series.

DESCRIPTION:
A federal judge has been murdered. There is only one witness, and an assassin wants her dead. U.S. Marshall Marcus O'Malley thought he knew the risks of the assignment . . . but he was wrong.

The Negotiator by Dee Henderson

Another great read by Dee Henderson. This is the 1st book in the O'Malley series and kept me hooked from start to finish (for the second time).

DESCRIPTION:
FBI agent Dave Richman from Danger in the Shadows is back. He's about to meet Kate O'Malley, and his life will never be the same. She's a hostage negotiator. He protects people. He's about to find out that falling in love with a hostage negotiator is one thing, but keeping her safe is another.

Introducing the O'Malleys, an inspirational group of seven, all abandoned or orphaned as teens, who have made the choice to become a loyal and committed family. They have chosen their own surname, O'Malley, and have stood by each other through moments of joy and heartache. Their stories are told in CBA best-selling, inspirational romantic suspense novels that rock your heart and restore strength and hope to your spirit.

Danger in the Shadows by Dee Henderson

This is the 2nd time I have read this book and it kept me just a hooked as the first time, I finished it in less than a day. "Danger in the Shadows" is a crime novel with no foul language or graphic scenes. It is an intense story that captures you from page one. This is the prequel to the O'Malley Series.

DESCRIPTION:

Sara's terrified. She's doing the one thing she cannot afford to do: fall in love with former pro-football player Adam Black, a man everyone knows. Sara's been hidden away in the witness protection program, her safety dependent on staying invisible - and loving Adam could get her killed.

Before I Wake by Dee Henderson

Great book. Intense crime thriller that you can't put down and no garbage to distract from the action.

Description:

Female visitors to Justice, Illinois, are being quietly murdered in their sleep---tourists in nice hotels, their money and jewelry left behind. And the sheriff isn't pleased to find a private detective named Rae Gabriella working the case. Rae's staying in the same hotel as one of the victims---could she be targeted next?

The Witness by Dee Henderson

Great psychological thriller with no language, no sex, some violence but nothing graphic.

Decription:

Police Chief Luke Granger's witness to a murder, Amy Griffin, has been on the run for years. Her two sisters think she was murdered eight years ago. But Amy chose to accept a life in the shadows to protect her sisters' lives. Now unveiled secrets about their father have thrust the sisters into the public spotlight. The man who wants Amy dead now sees her sisters as the way to locate her. Luke and two of his homicide detectives are determined to stand in the way. They are each falling in love with a different sister, and it's become a personal mission to keep them safe. But chances are that at least one of them will fail....And facing the future will take a faith deeper than any of them currently knows.

Dee Henderson, Author

I just loved reading Dee Henderson's books. She has two series that I have read and both of them I couldn't put down. They are adventure / romances centering around the main characters career. You can read the first chapter of each book on her web site but I warn you make sure it is available at the library because once you get started you won't want to stop.

The first series I read is the Uncommon Hereos. The heroes are a Navy Seal, Navy Pilot, CIA agent and FBI agent. These books can be read individually but are better read in order:

• True Devotion
• True Valor
• True Honor
• True Courage

The next series is the "O'Malley Family Series" These books follow the lives of seven adults who became their own family after growing up together in an "orphanage". I waited until all seven books were available at the libary then checked them all out at once. I took me about ten days to read them. These books are best read in order.

1. Danger in the Shadows (prequel)
2. The Negotiator (O'Malley #1)
3. The Guardian (O'Malley #2)
4. The Truth Seeker (O'Malley #3)
5. The Protector (O'Malley #4)
6. The Healer (O'Malley #5)
7. The Rescuer (O'Malley #6)

There is nothing offensive in these books. Dee Henderson is a Christian writer so there is some conversion stuff in the books but nothing that would be offensive to LDS readers. Her web site is: http://www.deehenderson.com/
