Ex-Army Civil Affairs specialist Jo Gunning is a loner. No commitments. No fixed address. She’s enjoying her anonymity in Virginia when she crosses paths with a runaway teenage girl in need. Assisting the girl in getting home leads to a phone call for help, and a claim from the girl that her father is holding her hostage. As Jo searches for answers, she finds that nothing is what it seems, and no one is telling the truth. With both Russian assassins and a shady government agency watching her every move, Jo must use all the skills the military taught her… and some they didn’t. Walking away would’ve been easier, but Jo is always willing to help someone in trouble. Gunning for Trouble is an excellent political thriller; great storytelling with no explicit language or violence . I love this new series and am looking forward to many more adventures with Jo Gunning! Felt like I was reading a Baldacci book! ~ reader review
