Falsely Accused was a really good romantic suspense read. The story started off with intensity and I found it to be a very fast read.

I liked the characters right away and thought the romance story was good. I wasn't surprised by who the bad guy was, but enjoyed the reveal.

All in all, Falsely Accused was a great read and I recommend it to fans of this genre.

It was very well written and full of action. I finished it in about an hour. Can't wait to read the other books in this series. This is Definitely a good 4 star read.

I thought this book had an intriguing storyline, and I was very interested in all the twists and turns it took. I liked the two main characters, Wren and Titus. Although they had once cared for each other, their relationship had fallen by the wayside, and their story was not always a smooth one. I liked the way that Titus always believed in. Wren, even though the evidence seemed to point to her as the murderer. The story took a direction that I was not expecting, and the ending of the mystery was a surprise. This is a good, solid mystery that I enjoyed reading.

It has been a little while since I read a straight up mystery (as opposed to a cozy mystery) and let me tell you the opening scene in this book was phenomenal! This is first book of this series that I have read and by this author. I am so thrilled that I did though. There were so many twists and turns throughout this book. As a die hard Agatha Christie fan I compare every mystery to her and let me tell you that Shirlee McCoy holds her own. She has just become one of my must read authors.

Framed for her foster brother's death Special Agent Wren Santino must clear her name, but someone is thwarting her every effort to uncover the truth.



Titus Anderson is a childhood friend who steps up to help her unravel the mystery, but helping her put him in the sights of the killer as well. Will they be able to untangle this dangerous conspiracy before someone else gets killed?



A fast paced, action packed drama, filled with suspense and conspiracy. Wren and Titus grew up together, and even though they have had their rough patches have remained friends, as they start working together, they repair their friendship, and support each other through this ordeal.



Wren has always been a strong one, independent and the one that others depended on. She is more reserved and introverted, and is dedicated to her job. She is a good teammate.



Titus has a history in law enforcement, and he has a passion for restoring homes. He has gone through a rough few years, and is happy to help Wren, he has a strong faith that has seen him through many tough times.



Overall, a riveting, and entertaining read with great character interaction and and great pacing throughout. Enjoyed this romantic, high stakes read!

I really enjoyed “Falsely Accused” by Shirlee McCoy. This is part of the Love Inspired Suspense FBI:Special Crimes Unit series. This book was a very easy read. I read it in two days!

This story centers around FBI Agent, Wren Santino. Wren is framed for her foster brother’s murder. She teams up with her longtime friend, Titus Anderson, and together they try to find out who really murdered her brother. There was a small twist at the end.

I recommend this book if you enjoy good, clean, romantic suspense fiction.

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

FBI Agent Wren is being framed for the death of her foster brother after being found fleeing from the scene of the crime. While running she finds an old friend Titus who will do everything he can to help and protect her. Now they must work together to figure out who is behind this before they are killed.

Whew! From the moment this book starts there is so much going on. Readers are thrown right into the middle of this mess leaving the readers like the characters confused of what is going on. There was plenty of mystery surrounding this whole things and as Wren and Titus gets closer to seeing what the bigger picture is its clear that someone wants them quiet oh and dead. Such a great book I loved following along as they pieced together clues and it was such a fun read. Also the book was a clean romance (which I appreciate). Highly reocmmend!

This book starts and ends with action, you cannot figure out what is behind the next corner. As the bodies pile up, and some near misses.
When FBI Agent shows up in Maine to help her foster mother, she never imagines the heartache she is about to endure. She is also about to open her heart to more than her mom, but more heartache follows.
Greed comes to mind here, and there are a lot of surprises and happenings that you won’t see coming. Culprit or culprits go to any length here, and not all make it to the end!

I will leave a review on Amazon or B&N on Mar 3, 2020

I received an Advanced Reader's Copy from NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my fair and honest review.

Romantic suspense is one of my favorite genre's. This was a new author for me and I was excited to give her book a try. I found it to be very well written, action packed with several twists and turns. I will have to go back and read other books in this series. I would definitely recommend this book to those that enjoy reading this genre.

Falsely Accused by Shirlee McCoy is part of a series however I had not read the other books and I felt this one stood alone. I did like the secondary characters enough to want to learn more about their stories though.

Wren is an FBI agent who is home visiting the lady who helped her through her childhood. I could not tell if they were official foster kids or she just took care of the kids in the city.

Wren and Titus were childhood best friends until she delivered his news that he struggled dealing with. I was glad Wren was willing to give him a second chance it not I think I would have been done with her character.

The conspiracy was interesting and refreshing in that it was not your typical plot line.

Hannah was a great secondary character that I would like to see get her own story.
Sexual content – kissing
Violence – someone dies in the beginning, someone is trying to silence Wren, and someone gets shot, and kidnapped. Not described in graphic detail. More just action packed.

'God's plans were best. He had always believed that. They were often unexpected and unanticipated.'

I have been looking forward to Wren Santino's story in Shirlee McCoy's 'FBI: Special Crimes Unit' series. From Wren's first appearance as the boss of the FBI agents in this series, I knew she had a story to tell and I was right! Wren heads back to where she grew up in Maine in this book to check on her former foster mother who has fallen and broken a hip. Almost instantly she is embroiled in a deadly development and is arrested for killing her former foster brother. Well, things just roll on swiftly after this. Oh, don't forget Titus, the kid that grew up in the same town who Wren once thought she loved. He's back in town, living in the house he grew up in after leaving the Boston PD and starting a career in home restoration and renovation.

Shirlee McCoy is a master at romantic, inspirational suspense. I discovered her books early last year and have bought them all in one form or another and am trying to make some headway into reading her massive back list. Now, I'm eagerly anticipating her next book!

As a huge fan of romantic suspense, I was thrilled to read this book by a new-to-me author. The cover of Falsely Accused is so visually appealing, and I love the new cover style of the Love Inspired Romance novels being released this year. The cover immediately drew me in and made me want to read this book.

FBI special agent Wren Santino is framed for her foster brother's murder, and the only person she can trust is her former childhood friend, Titus Anderson. Their lives both are in extreme danger as they try to overcome the hurt from their own pasts and search for the real killer before it's too late.

This was an enjoyable story to read, and the author completely surprised me with who the culprit was. I wish I would have connected more personally with the characters, but I really enjoyed the action-packed storyline. This book is recommended for fans of Love Inspired Suspense books.

"Falsely Accused" is a Christian romantic suspense novel. The characters were nice people who struggled with realistic fears. Wren's a capable FBI agent, but she's injured and has been set up for murder. She was very close to Titus when they were young, and he's happy to help her now. He once worked as a police officer, so he's also very capable in dangerous situations. They're very supportive of each other and build each other up. I enjoyed the characters and cared about what happened to them. The suspense came from the attacks on them and murders of others, along with a fire and the fact that the police think she's the prime suspect in the murderer of her brother. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense novel.
