Publisher's summary

Ali Reynolds and her team at High Noon Enterprises must race against the clock to save an archbishop who faces mysterious death threats in this “masterly study of the effects of grief, rage, and the power of forgiveness” (Publishers Weekly) by New York Times best-selling author J.A. Jance.

Years after her son’s fatal overdose, grieving mother Rachel Higgins learns that his addiction may have grown out of damage suffered at the hands of a pedophile priest while he was in high school. Looking for vengeance, she targets the Catholic Church’s most visible local figure, Archbishop Francis Gillespie. When the archbishop begins receiving anonymous threats, local police dismiss them, saying they’re not credible. So he turns to his friends Ali Reynolds and her husband, B. Simpson.

With B. out of the country on a cybersecurity emergency, it’s up to Ali to track down the source of the threats. When a shooter assassinates the archbishop’s driver and leaves the priest himself severely injured, Ali forms an uneasy alliance with a Phoenix homicide cop in hopes of preventing another attack. But Ali doesn’t realize that the killer has become not only more unhinged, but also more determined to take out his or her target.

Credible Threat is another “terrific entry in a series distinguished by its consistent quality, [and] sensitive treatment of a difficult subject makes this an extraordinary literary experience” (The Providence Journal).

Good

Good story. I love the author’s work. Don’t have to worry about her books being X rated, and full of language that takes away the interest.

Don't miss this audible book.

Excellent! I loved this story and the ending. I listen using audible but I am sure it would a great read.

Love Ali Reynolds

So nice getting to listen to a new Ali Reynolds story! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you J. A. Jance!

Held my attention

Story was ok. not much suspense as you know who dunnit and what’s going to happen pretty quickly. The story is pretty tight - not a lot or erroneous details that aren’t integral to the plot line. Reading was good. Bottom line - for me - it kept my attention and I didn’t put it down until the end.

attention to everyday life problems handled calmly

acknowledgement of strife in everyday life and there are always choices. sharing problems lessens their impact on everyones path

Really loved it!

Very enjoyable. I will look forward to the next book. I hope it is soon.

J. A. Jance was credible

I enjoyed Jance's ability to describe and weave her characters throughout the story. I felt that I knew each character well as she built the suspense to the end.

Long time coming for this one

Wondering if I missed a book before this one. Not sure why Ali is sad. I will check. I loved “seeing” all the favorite collective characters appear or make an appearance. This was well written story, however there was some repetition in parts. The narration was excellent as usual. On to next in the series 😉

Good book as always.

I always enjoy the Ali Reynolds’ series and this book was no exception. There is always a good plot along with the in-depth characters. I’m looking forward to her next book.

I am a Huge J A Jance Fan.

This book did not disappoint. So interesting the way she weaves 5 story lines together. Love all the colorful characters. The story was so good that I neglected my chores until the murderer was arrested and the priest begged her forgiveness. Ok, I am done better roll up my selves and get chores done before I dive into a Joanna Brady story. Like Bueamount also.
