Lucy Guardino has one of the most difficult jobs in law enforcement. As a lieutenant in the sexual assault felony enforcement squad, it is up to her to co-ordinate the tracking down of paedophiles, the search for abducted and abused children as well as the perpetrators of many other equally heinous crimes. She could do this from behind her desk but Lucy is a hands on cop and likes to get out in the field. Therefore when 14 year old Hayley goes missing, she is at the heart of the investigation. However, this case is not as straightforward as it first appears. Plus Lucy has to deal with the sudden illness of her 12 year old daughter at the same time. Will it prove to be too much for her?

I really enjoyed this book and thought Lucy was a great character. I have to admit though, that I found it hard to keep track of all the different police depts and their acronyms. I also have to admit that as a 40 something, my knowledge of video games is limitted to Tetris so the idea of the role playing games was somewhat over my head. Nevertheless, it did not spoil the story for me and I look forward to Lucy's next case.

Snake Skin by C.J. Lyons is an incredible, fast paced thriller. We are introduced to Special Agent Lucy Guardino - a tough, determined,uncompromising, no nonsense kind of agent working in the sexual assault felony enforcement squad.

Driven by her loathing of child sex offenders and her desire to save all victims, Lucy finds it difficult to balance her work commitments with the needs of her family and when a 14 year old child is kidnapped, this becomes all the more difficult. Lucy knows that the first few hours are crucial and the victim's life may very well depend upon how quickly they can establish leads and process evidence.

The pace is relentless, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing to the very end.

A truly incredible novel, with all the action and excitement you can handle and a wonderful new heroine.

Although this was the first work that I have read by the author, it certainly won't be the last (I have just bought Blood Stained).

Take advantage of the fantastic, great value price and buy this book NOW!!!!!

An avid thriller fan, I wanted to branch out from familiar authors and, after reading reviews from Lee Childs and others, I decided to give Snake Skin a try. I am terribly sorry to have wasted the 2 dollars on the Kindle edition of this "romanticized" version of some FBI thriller: the plot is predictable, the characters flimsy and everything is supposed to be carried by the "mother" instinct of Lucy Guardino: as a female author, Lyons should be ashamed. I feel thoroughly taken in by the reviews (were they copied only in part?) and would not recommend this book or the series to any other readers than those interested in "romantic" fiction.
