Tough subject matter, but man is this a wholly original, pulse-pounding thriller. I flew right through it.
4.5 stars.
Thanks to Suzanne for a complimentary advance copy of her novel. All opinions are my own.

FBI Agent Steve Patterson investigates crimes against sex offenders. When sex offenders are released from prison they need a place to live except most people don’t want them living in their neighborhoods. It’s stands to reason that someone would purposely target them. It’s Steve’s job to make sure any injustice against them is investigated.m
…
Dee lived across the street from a sex offender. After he was found dead Agent Steve Patterson showed up to investigate. Dee was first to be questioned. Steve got more than just answers to his questions. A little mixing of business with pleasure never hurt anyone unless you date the sister of the guy you believe is killing sex offenders.
…
It’s a story about fighting for justice. One good man doing what he believes to be a good deed. An agent protecting sex offenders who are reformed back into society doing his good deed. It’s an interesting topic. One that is thought provoking and one to cause quite an argumentative discussion about. It’s that morally grey area that really begins to create that thought provoking debate.
…
This right here is why I enjoy reading Ms. Redfearn’s books. The writing is sensationally informative and thought provoking and on point. Sure this was a controversial topic, yet a necessary debate to be discussed. I enjoyed reading about both sides of the work being done by both good guys. Good writing skills gets readers thinking and that’s what makes this an excellent book. This was a well thought out and executed story.

TWO GOOD MEN was an INTERESTING THRILLER that comes out OCTOBER 8, 2024! Thank you to S.E. Redfearn and Blackstone Publishing for sending me an ARC before it’s release! The story basically sums up as a thriller drama about two men on a quest for justice, from opposite sides of the law. It’s an easy read with very quick chapters and is unputdownable! Recommend to read when it releases this OCTOBER!

I always enjoy this authors work. This one was a slow burn at first; took me a bit to get into it and put together the characters. From there on it definitely kept me entertained how it would all play out. I would like to have the main character (Dick) as my brother! The authors note is also very interesting, so don’t miss that! A good psychological thriller to add to your list. Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for the ARC.

This was an exceptional cat and mouse suspense thriller that kept my on the edge of my seat and left me thinking long after the last page was turned. The best book I've read this year!

What he doesn’t expect to find is another chance at love—with the sister of the man he is chasing.
Warning, this contains strong themes relating to pedophilia so this book may not be for everyone. At times it is hard to read and my heart was breaking when we are told how many lives men like Otis have destroyed while they carry out their perverted crimes.
Dick has seen the suffering that his sister and nephew have been through and becomes obsessed with damaging the life of the man who has destroyed his family's world. He soon sets off on a path that may not end well for him but is tunnel visioned and unable to keep himself away from trying to put men like this down. Steve is all about the law, even though men like Otis has committed the most abhorrent of crimes, he also does not believe in murder.
Soon these men will become part of each other's lives and even though they are on different sides of the law, a relationship and understanding between the two does develop. I will not say anymore as to do so may give away how this book concludes but as I said above at times this does make for uncomfortable reading but the author has done a great job regarding this sensitive subject. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.
