Another Wonderful Romantic Suspense! 'Body of Evidence' - Triple Threat 3 - by Irene Hannon

 


About the book:

The dead don't give up their secrets easily

Forensic pathologist Grace Reilly has seen her share of unusual deaths in rural Missouri. But when she begins to notice a curious pattern in autopsies of older residents whose demises appear to be natural, she takes her concerns to Sheriff Nate Cox.

Nate is skeptical about the link Grace is seeing between the deaths, as well as her suspicions of foul play. But her persistence is compelling. And once they join forces to investigate, danger follows close behind. Because exposing the truth could destroy several lives--including Grace's.

Queen of inspirational romantic suspense Irene Hannon closes out her bestselling Triple Threat series with this gripping tale of secrets revealed and romance sparked.

My review:

This was another wonderful romantic suspense by Irene Hannon and I've read quite a few!  I loved Grace immediately for her unusual job, her determination to get to the truth and her resolve to do the right thing when she thought Nate was involved with someone.  I also admired her and Nate's straightforwardness with each other in discussing faith and their values and their pasts.  There were some suspenseful moments and I liked that we got not only both Nate's and Grace's points of view but also the killer's.  There were some fun flirty moments and I also liked the banter between Grace and her sisters, the other two women who are main characters in this series.  This story works as a stand-alone if you haven't read the other two but all of Hannon's books are worth it!  I enjoyed the first and am going to read the second shortly.  I highly recommend this book if you like romantic suspense!

I received this book free from Revell.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.

Enjoyable! 'Anything But Plain' - Suzanne Woods Fisher

 


About the book:

Leaving Stoney Ridge feels unbearable--but how can she stay?

Impulsive Lydie Stoltzfus has always felt like a disappointment--a square peg in a round hole in her quiet Amish community. Leaving her family and church seems like her best move, even though it would mean leaving Nathan Yoder behind. Nathan claims he's in love with her, but she knows she's not good enough for him. And if she is ever in doubt, Nathan's father reminds her frequently.

Knowing Lydie is "between" jobs again, the local doctor asks her to fill in at the front desk for a few months. This gives Lydie time to figure out how she's going to say goodbye to Nathan--and it gives Dok ample time to recognize the symptoms of a disorder rare among the Amish. She offers Lydie treatment that has the potential to change her life.

But will it be enough to make her stay? Or has help come too late?

My review:

I enjoyed this story about an unusual Amish girl who doesn't finish her tasks and flits from one thing to another.  Lydie did get on my nerves a little when she would get so distracted with something she wouldn't finish what she was doing or how she blamed herself for things when she should have told the truth or explained about a situation.  I liked Nathan a lot and admired how caring and determined he 
was to take care of his part of the farm and make it organic.  He also saw many good qualities in Lydie she didn't see in herself.  Stoney Ridge was a wonderful place to visit again and it was fun to catch up with quirky characters and other favorites, like Lydie's dad, David.  He's usually pretty wise but his mom coming to stay really threw him for a loop.  She could be incredibly critical but he found lessons to learn when he looked for them.  There were themes of finding the place where you belong, loving your enemy and forgiveness.  There was a little bit of romance.  I recommend this book if you like Amish stories!
