Sacrifice: An Evan Buckley Crime Thriller (Evan Buckley Thrillers Book 8) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 795 ratings

When PI Evan Buckley’s mentor, Elwood Crow, sends him down to the Florida Keys to check up on an old friend, neither of them are prepared for the litany of death and destruction that Evan unearths, taking them back fifty years to the jungles of South East Asia and the atrocities committed in the name of a war everyone wants to forget - everyone except for the nameless specter that Evan must go up against, a man who they said never came home.
Meanwhile Detective Kate Guillory battles with her own demons in her search for salvation, moving inexorably down the road to her personal Armageddon, to a place where justice and vengeance are without distinction, to a bloody confrontation with her nemesis, the deviant Joseph Liverman.
As their two paths converge and the secrets buried deep in Crow’s past come to light, each of them must make an impossible choice that stretches conscience and tests courage, and in the end demands sacrifice – what would you give to get what you want?

    'Sacrifice' has much intrigue and humor in abundance, as does every book in the 'Evan Buckley' series. Let Evan et al take you for a thriller of a ride on "The White Knuckle Express". One could not imagine anyone spookier than Crow, as despicable as Liverman and more evil than Pentecost. The counterbalance of Evan' and Guillory's shared torment and continuing effort to normalize their couplehood is a good read any time. Get on board with this series!
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2020
    This is the book in the series that tells us more about the retired detective and mentor, Crow. It's a bit fanciful, but follows the rules of the trope about secretive former members of the military operating independently as a group. We learn things about Crow that are interesting and deserve further exploration, which I expect we'll read in the future.

    Set in the Florida Keys, the book is not up to its immediate predecessor, The Road to Deliverance, but I'm not sure any novel would make that grade. It's certainly more than good fiction, and we see both Evan and his love interest, Kate, begin an important transformation process. Almost all good fiction is about the transformation process, and the author does it well.
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2022
    So many twists and turns, I loved it. Hate when I can figure out what is going to happen at the end. This kept me guessing to the very end. Harper gave insight as to what was coming in his next book, if this series. Great read

    Evan goes to Florida but not for relaxation, Crow asked him to find a missing friend. Another terrific Buckley novel!
  • Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2021
    James's style of storytelling, of tying up loose ends from previous installments of the series while introducing new plotlines, is undoubtedly among the most interesting I've had the privilege of engaging with. The way he manages to seamlessly integrate the unresolved matters of the past with the unfolding issues of the present to craft a story that pulls the reader in gives his way of writing a uniqueness that I thoroughly enjoy. I've already purchased and am reading the next installment.
  • Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020
    A lot of action. Characters are great.
    Author differently knows how to keep in volve. Don't want talk about book story but will keep you reading. I'm reading all the Evan Buckley books which there are 11 of them. On book 10 now. One thing good all these books I like is that they pick up where the last one left off. You will enjoy.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2021
    I am never disappointed when I read an Evan Buckley novel. I have read them in order and plan to continue until I have read them all. I will no doubt be sad to finish them so I hope James Harper can stay ahead of me .
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2021
    After reading this eighth book in the series, I feel like I know Evan so well. James Harper creates the relationships between Guillory and Evan and between Crow an Evan so well that these characters come to life. I particularly enjoy the injection of humor when you least expect it. I can hardly wait to see what other kinds of trouble Evan will get into next.

    Sacrifice is another excellent crime thriller featuring PI Evan Buckley. Evan is asked by his mentor Mr. Crow to locate a friend who appears to be missing. This leads Evan down a long and twisting road filled with danger and intrigue. Highly recommended.
