When Emily Locke gets a call to assist PI Richard Cole in an investigation by using her sky diving expertise to go undercover, her past comes back to haunt her.  Having lost her husband and daughter four years prior the case that Emily is called to assist with bears strong similarities to the one that she was working on when she lost her family.  As Emily continues assisting with the investigation, she discovers that the accident involving her family might not be what it appeared to be at the time.  Desperate to find answers, Emily throws herself into this investigation and in doing so her own life is now endangered. 

Rachel Brady has written a novel that is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.  She has built an incredible amount of suspense into this drama.  Incorporating a unique twist into the plot allows for some interesting surprises.  Her knowledge of sky diving and attention to detail make the story seem very realistic.  This makes it kind of scary for a reader who has a fear of heights!  I also appreciated her ability to create interesting and colorful characters.  They added a great deal to the story.

I can’t imagine any fans of suspense that will not enjoy this novel.  I highly recommend “Final Approach” by Rachel Brady, and believe that it would also make a great selection for readers’ groups.
