Pivot Point by Tess Manchester is an
adrenaline-fueled thriller that follows Blake Everhart, a committed U.S.
Marshal who hasn’t fully recovered from the murder of her brother that took
place seven years ago. haunted by her brother’s murder seven years ago. Robert
Canton is a dangerous criminal, a fugitive who is at large, leaving bodies
behind him, including an entire family. Now Blake is determined to stop him,
and the fugitive takes her across the storm-ravaged Tennessee, through flooded
streets, dense forests, and treacherous mountain roads. Each attempt to capture
Canton is thwarted by his cunning and aid from corrupt insiders. But Blake is
equally relentless as she races against time, experiencing a phenomenon that
makes her question her sanity. It’s like time resets in her mind. Can she
outwit Canton and her fractured perception and stop him from murdering more
innocent people?
This is one of the best thrillers I have read this year,
with a well-paced and tangled plot. Tess Manchester writes in beautiful prose
and has the ability to make characters enjoyable. I had the feeling I had known
these characters somewhere, because they are hugely believable. Blake’s trauma
is skillfully explored, and her relationship with Dr. Naomi Preston brings a
new level of realism into the story. Manchester masterfully explores themes of
trauma, redemption, and the nature of time itself. The characters are detailed:
Blake is tough and haunted, struggles with guilt and her obsession with
justice; Naomi Preston is a compassionate doctor with a mysterious past; and Canton
is the villain who raises the stakes and amplifies the conflict. The
worldbuilding captured my interest, and the small-town Tennessee with its
quaint markets, foggy parks, and dangerous mountain passes sucked me in. Pivot
Point is a masterful work, a winner for fans of action-packed thrillers
with memorable characters.
