Advance Praise

“Lynn Horton’s Loose Arrows: A Thriller opens with the kind of scene most thrillers would kill for, and Horton is smart enough not to rush it. . . . She builds the book around what comes after, the long strain of grief, secrecy, and survival, and that choice gives the story more emotional voltage than the average espionage novel. . . . Recommended for readers who like their thrillers with espionage, psychological depth, and a narrator complicated enough to hold both.” —Manhattan Book Review 

“About a mother’s grief, a father’s cancer, and the dangers of Russian machinations, Loose Arrows is an involving . . . entertaining thriller. . . . Strong women, playing against feminine stereotypes, dominate the book. . . . Underlying and coloring the action is a winning, comical narrative voice.” —Foreword Clarion Reviews  

“Powerful. . . . Readers . . . will especially appreciate the logical, fast-paced developments that keep them on their toes. Packed with unexpected twists, a sense of urgency and personal involvement, and cat-and-mouse games, the saga is simply riveting. . . . Its proactive, powerful female protagonist [is] not just believable, but admirable—the perfect force to power a thriller that navigates the underbelly of US and Russian interests alike. . . . Loose Arrows is a top recommendation.” —Midwest Book Review
