Things finally seem to be going well for FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid. She's just finished training for Hostage Rescue, her husband's relationship with his son is back on track, and her tense relationship with her boss, Rachel Vaughn, has become much more bearable. That is, until her first hostage case throws everything off track.

When a man who appears under the influence and mentally unstable holds a group of people hostage and dies in a shootout with the FBI, Lucy is assigned to investigate what happened. His descent doesn't make any sense - he was an upstanding citizen a year ago and only started declining after a series of blackouts and strange occurrences. Even his autopsy seems suspicious, and the body has been cremated without the proper approval. As Lucy investigates, she realizes that this story may be more complicated than she thinks, and that her own life might be in danger.

                                                                MY REVIEW:

Too Far Gone by Allison Brennan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 14th book in this series and I have not read any other books in this series. You do get a little background on the characters and it could be read as a stand a lone.
FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid is part of a team assembled to take care of a hostage situation at a coffee shop, backing up the negotiator. Customers and the manager are being held at gunpoint by Charlie McMahon, a research scientist who recently lost his job, his family and what appears to be his sanity. He’s shot and killed when the team attempts a rescue and he fires his weapon.
Meanwhile Lucy's husband Sean, is trying to get to know his teenage son, who he didn't know he fathered until recently.
Their lives have all seem to be in danger and looks like someone is out for sean, or maybe not. As we get to know more of what is going on it seems to be worse than I thought.
Thanks to Minotaur for the book to read.
