This is the 5th, and currently, the final book in the series. While this could be a stand alone mystery, it really helps tie in all the other previous books and brings the story Caity and Spence to a great conclusion. Well written with a twist I didn't see coming. A real page turner of a book. Very well edited.

Countdown by Carey Baldwin is another awesome Cassidy and Spenser adventure. I don't know of another author who can write a romantic suspense book with so many twists.
Caitlyn and Atticus are in Tahiti to get married and enjoy a well earned vacation. Both of their mothers are there along with Dutch Langhorne and Gretchen Herrera to help them enjoy the "perfect" wedding. Of course, things just don't quite go as planned as they soon become embroiled in a case that involves more than one con, dirty secrets and eventually murder. Ms. Baldwin showed us a more relaxed Caitlyn and Atticus in this book which was fun to read. Their love and respect for each other clearly shone through the story. The moms were their usual upbeat selves and never stopped to question that their "children" were doing the right thing. Dutch and Gretchen are great supporting characters that are totally involved as they were able to provide much of the information to unravel this twisted case.
Suspense, complex characters, romance and a wedding all made this a perfect afternoon read for me. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Witness Impulse via Edelweiss. All of the above opinions are my own.

This is the 5th in a series but read easily as a stand alone.
Special Agent Atticus Spenser and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Caitlin Cassidy are in Tahiti, where, in a week, they will be married in an intimate ceremony with their mothers and 2 friends. While walking the beach to find the perfect location for their vows, they come across another newly married couple and their photographer. The couple runs into the surf as part of the ceremony, however, they are swimming further out and it appears a struggle is taking place and then a gunshot!!! Spense, being an FBI agent, snaps into action with Cassidy following, also an FBI consultant. Was it the bride or groom that shot the other? And why, especially since they just exchanged vows?
Even though Spenser has no jurisdiction, the local police ask that they help in solving this case since one of the people have gone missing.
Thus begins the countdown to find the missing person and the reason why.
I don’t want to divulge any more of the plot so as not to spoil it for other readers, but let me tell you this, the title says it all! A fast paced story that captivated me from the first few pages to the very last word. The characters and settings came to life, and was easy to imagine, due to the writer’s descriptions.
For me, this was what I call “a transported read”. I was so engrossed that I was not aware of my surroundings. I was totally enmeshed in the story. And with the clock ticking down, I tried reading faster to find out the truth. The continuous suspense throughout the book, with so many twists and turns, was galvanizing!! The unexpected ending blindsided me!
This was one heart stopping read!! Highly recommend, but with a warning, be prepared you, will not be able to put it down!

This was a well-written, entertaining book. Caitlin Cassidy and Atticus Spenser are in Tahiti preparing to get married when they see an attempted murder. They agree to help investigate, and have to figure out what is truth and what is not. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.
