I love this series and the character of Maggie Novak, a no nonsense detective in Florida.
Keith Houghton is an amazing thriller writer who keeps you guessing until the end.

A Place Called Fear by Keith Houghton is the second entry in the Maggie Novak series. Maggie is a homicide detective in Florida. When one of her fellow detectives goes missing on a late night run to the store for milk, Maggie is called upon to investigate. Her co worker is soon found, it seems he has committed suicide in his car in the store parking lot. This case will lead Maggie down a dark road where no one can be trusted. This second book advances Maggie’s character very nicely. I can’t wait for more Maggie! This book kept me guessing and filled me with dread until the last moment. Definitely check this series out! Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Wow!! Keith Houghton really knocked it out of the park! What a great read. This is the first book that I've read by this author but I plan to be hot on his trail from here on out. I loved the twists at the end. I definitely recommend this book.

A supposed suicide by a police officer leads on to a confusing but very interesting storyline with lots unexpected twists and turns. Maggie Novak despite being almost blown up manages to continue with the investigation bringing it to a surprising conclusion

It should be a happy time in Florida Detective Maggie Novak’s life, she’s just gotten engaged, but her happiness is eclipsed by fear when she learns fellow detective Clayton Young has disappeared.

The homicide team soon learns that Clay was targeted because he was a cop, and he’s not the only cop on the hit list. With Clay’s partner too afraid to help, Maggie and her team have to look for not just one killer, but several. The nail biting action that Houhgton is famous for is on full display in his latest
