Finally released from prison after serving 15 years for a crime she did not commit, she is determined to reveal the truth.

An engaging read, suspenseful with plenty of twists along the way. Marcus is a great guy, who is there to offer a helping hand, even when Kinsley doesn't agree. This was a fast paced read, entertaining and enjoyable, the romantic relationship was kinda rushed in my opinion.

I liked how Marcus was supportive of Kinsley, and I admired her determination. This was a quick read, with a lot going on, and plenty to recommend it.


I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Suspenseful and exciting reading; it kept me quickly turning page after page! I loved the characters and storyline.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

I was looking for something other than just a romance book to read. This was a great choice. I love suspense books.

The way this author wrote the details of her characters and the emotions of them you felt them as if you were that character. Every gut wrenching emotion Kinsley was feeling I felt, her distrust of law enforcement, not being able to trust and just not being close to anyone, the need to be alone.

Kinsley went to prison as a teen for the murder of her father. She spent 15 years locked up for the crime she didn't commit. Knowing she was innocent and her fathers murderer was still out there. She is going to do whatever she can to find the person who murdered her father.

Marcus the chief of police wants to help Kinsley but knows she is hold somethings back. He is being very patient. Sometimes Kinsley forgets he is the chief of police and just sees him as a man. His is raising his niece and not sure if he is finding the balance of that and work so that his niece knows he is there and loves her.

I highly recommend this emotionally gripping good paced suspenseful story. I was on edge wanting to know what was going to happen next and how the characters where going to handle the situation. I look forward to reading many more of this authors suspense books. I went back and forth on who I thought was behind it all and the bad guy was one of the ones I though. Grab this book!!

My thoughts: This is formula romantic suspense at its finest. It is very predictable, I didn't have any surprises. Who done it was very obvious. There are some contradictions in the story but I read a netgalley version so it might be corrected in the final print version. I did enjoy the read, it was slow but steady. The romance happened a little fast but it was sweet. If you are looking for a predictable romantic suspense you might want to consider this one. It is set in Montana which is an unusual setting. I was given a copy free and all opinions on my own.

Evidence of Innocence has an emotional and gripping storyline. Kinsley's story held my interest from the beginning, and Shirlee McCoy keeps the momentum going with a steadily rising tension. The romance between Kinsley and Marcus is certainly a slow burn, but Kinsley's trust issues wouldn't allow for anything else. I did like the way the romance progressed,, and McCoy blends the love story with the mystery quite well, and I liked how the reveal of the killer was handled. This one is a quick read, but it doesn't fall short on the important elements. It's easily finished in an afternoon, which is exactly what I did, curled up in the recliner as the rain beat against the windows.

Who is Kinsley? What does she do for a living? What surprising info do we learn about Kinsley and her family? At not even 1/4 of the way into the story I was so engaged in the suspense of the things that happened to Kinsley, I knew I would be sleeping with some lights on in my apartment. While Kinsley frets over what to wear to a neighbor's house for dinner, who unexpectedly calls? What phone call does Marcus get while Kinsley is at dinner? When he attempts to take her home, what does he notice? Who is Jay? Why is he suddenly reaching out to Kinsley after 20 years? What security net does Marcus offer her? Oh goodness, that was a shock of a read! I did not see the reasoning behind Michael's murder coming! Not necessarily the whom but the why! Enjoy this suspenseful romance!!!

Kinsley went to jail for a crime didn't commit while her fathers murderer is still loose. She's been out of jail for a couple years now and been living a quiet life. That was until someone comes after her without reason other then her looking into her fathers case. Marcus has been the officer to help her and keep her out of danger while they try to find the person after her.

This book was such a fun ride. I loved that there was so much going on to keep me on my toes and hooked wondering what would happen next and who was after her. It was pretty clear it had to do with her fathers case but the whole why about everything. I loved that there was enough to keep the readers guessing and making assumptions and I was surprised on who it actually turned out. Also there was very little romance going on and it was clean which I appreciated. It was all about that mystery and overall I really enjoyed it.

Evidence of Innocence centers around Kinsley Garrett, who moved to Frenchtown to escape her past and find out who murdered her father. A murder that sent Kinsley to prison for fifteen years for a crime she didn’t commit. But someone doesn’t want her digging into the past, and local police chief Marcus Bayne intervenes when the attacks against Kinsley escalate.

This story is the definition of a great romantic suspense. It had the perfect balance of both suspense and romance. I definitely felt the danger while the mystery surrounding the murder sucked me into the story. Lots of action kept me flipping pages. The ending brought even more danger. But the romance that sparked between Marcus and Kinsley was sweet yet didn’t hijack the plot. It just seemed to be the perfect blend for this story.

I recommend suspense fans move this one up on your TBR list. It’s a definite recommendation from me.

Overall Rating:
5 stars (I loved it, couldn’t put it down)

Suspense Rating:
5 stars (Non-stop edge-of-your-seat suspense from start to finish)

I received an ebook review copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Rating 4.5/5*

This is a real page turner in which Kinsley Garrett is the target of multiple attempts on her life. She’d been wrongly convicted of murdering her father and spent fifteen years in prison before being cleared. She no longer trusts the justice system and is extremely wary of the police but she wants to discover who killed her Dad. When someone attempts to kidnap her, she runs to the nearest house for help, only to discover it belongs to the local police chief, Marcus Bayne. Can he help keep her safe? Can she learn to trust again? How can they catch the killer?

This is a truly action packed read, with so much suspense it will keep you on the edge of your seat. It has great, well developed characters, an intriguing plot and is written in a manner that just keeps you turning the pages to discover what happens next. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and have no hesitation in highly recommending it.

Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for my copy of this book which I have voluntarily read and honestly reviewed.

This is a Clean Suspense Romance. This is a great mix of Romance and Suspense. I could not put this book down, and I ended up reading this book late into the night to finish it. I had to find out how killed Kinsley's father, and who is going on to Kinsley. I really feel Kinsley's character was so developed, and I really feel in love with her character. Marcus character was everything Kinsley needed. I have to say I guess who did it right before it was revealed. This is a well written book with great characters with a lot of cute romance and kept you on the edge of you seat. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Love Inspired Suspense) or author (Shirlee McCoy) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

A Fairly quick romantic suspense read that to be was an escape read. Because even though it was a suspense novel as a love inspired suspense book I knew that I would get a happy ending after many twists and turns. An unlike some books I've read this one kept me guessing.

'God's plan was always best...she'd already been through a lot. Did God really think she needed to go through more?'

I think my favorite genre to read is probably suspense but I truly love many genres. Shirlee McCoy's books have been some favorites for a few years now. This one had such a good plot and very real characters. I finished in under a day. Captivating from start to finish. I recommend this one.

My thanks to Love Inspired for a copy of this book via Net Galley. I was not compensated and the opinion in this review is entirely my own.
