Torment in the Wind: Wind Series #7 by Judy Bruce is a fitting finale to this series. This time Megan's life has been threatened, but she plunges ahead with her investigation into a friend's suicide and finds herself after a killer. The story opens with Megan lying in bed next to Jay, the past rolling around in her mind, giving the audience a chance to catch up on events, which I appreciated. Through her memories, we learn that Jay wants a baby with her, but she doesn't know if this is possible, seeing that Bert Bolger had knifed her, thus killing her unborn child.

I think Bruce makes a wise choice using a first-person POV, as it brings you up close and personal into Megan's life, history, and her future while it unfolds.

But this author gives it a wry edge and an immediacy that feels realistic and urgent. You will feel for Megan as she grapples with her friend's suicide. Bruce has a way of wringing strong emotions with her powerful imagery and phrasing. The characters pulse with life--especially Megan--and you will find yourself mentally working right alongside her to get to the bottom of things. I enjoyed the legal aspects of the story and the investigation, as well as their smooth blending with Megan's personal life.

Although I had not read any previous novels in the series, I was able to follow the story very easily. The author cleverly gives a great deal of backstory throughout regarding past events and the mindset of the characters. Megan is a wonderful protagonist, incredibly intelligent, sensitive to others and will place others' safety above her own. There are clues scattered throughout the plot, some red herrings and others leading to the truth. The tension and suspense were constant and Megan faced some quite dangerous, nail-biting situations. Another favorite character for me was Beulah, fearless, honourable and loyal. The storyline covers many aspects of life too, grief, loss, guilt and mental illness, with incredible sensitivity involving real emotions. I found the dialogue very authentic which suited each character perfectly. Megan's trap at the end of the story was absolutely gripping and the action was brilliantly executed.
