A dangerous gamble... a terrible secret... a deadly choice...It’s summer in Sophie Trace, and Ethan Langley has returned home from college, eager to grow his friendship with Vanessa Jessup and her infant son, Carter. And Vanessa’s parents, Police Chief Brill Jessup and her husband, Kurt, approve: Ethan is thoughtful, kind, hardworking, and ambitious. But before Ethan has time to settle in, a series of random shootings shatters his world. While police are scrambling for suspects, Ethan learns shocking details that could break the case—but it imperils the lives of those he’s come to love. Going to the police with what he knows endangers Vanessa and Carter … yet not telling them is just as dangerous. He’s been dealt a risky hand in a game for which he doesn’t know the rules. Will he make the right call?  Disc 8 contains a study guide PDF.

Reviews for The Right Call

[TAMMY OBERLIN · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

3.5 stars. This was probably the best of the three books. I did tire of some of the repetition and patterns within the three books.

[1n-5 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed this one a lot more than its predecessor, The Last Word. The third in the Sophie Trace Trilogy, this story is from Ethan's viewpoint. We met him at the beginning of the previous book, and he's returned for the summer to work and save money, as well as spend time with Vanessa and her baby, Carter. Their romance is sweet, and Vanessa has certainly grown up since the last book.

While there are references to the previous two books, this one stands alone just fine. The premise was a bit implausible and certainly predictable. However, it was also enthralling and captured my attention. The typical small-town drama is there, as well as the familiar faces at the restaurant lunch counter who discuss the latest criminal events and add an interesting subplot. But it's a fast read and perfect for an afternoon escape.
