What Happened to the Bennetts By Lisa Scottoline

What Happened to the Bennetts By Lisa Scottoline


Your family has been attacked, never again to be the same.
Now you have to choose between law…and justice.

     Jason Bennett is a suburban dad who owns a court-reporting business, but one night, his life takes a horrific turn. He is driving his family home after his daughter’s field hockey game when a pickup truck begins tailgating them, on a dark stretch of road. Suddenly two men jump from the pickup and pull guns on Jason, demanding the car. A horrific flash of violence changes his life forever.
 
Later that awful night, Jason and his family receive a visit from the FBI. The agents tell them that the carjackers were members of a dangerous drug-trafficking organization—and now Jason and his family are in their crosshairs.
 
The agents advise the Bennetts to enter the witness protection program right away, and they have no choice but to agree. But WITSEC was designed to protect criminal informants, not law-abiding families. Taken from all they know, trapped in an unfamiliar life, the Bennetts begin to fall apart at the seams. Then Jason learns a shocking truth and realizes that he has to take matters into his own hands.
 
Sometimes justice is a one-man show.

My Thoughts:

This is my first book by Lisa and one that I really enjoyed. I loved the sound of the plot, it was everything it should be, tense, gripping and edge of the seat stuff. This is the story of the Bennetts, when travelling in their car, the family could never imagine what would happen when a truck starts to tail gate them. The next scenes that unfold are truly horrific. But Jason is onto them and will find out who these people are no matter what. I loved how intense the story became and it felt a very unpredictable story with plenty of twists and turns to grip the reader. A few times I realised I was holding my breath as I didn’t know what was coming. Such a good read, now need to read more of Lisa’s books.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
