An elderly woman's death. A mugging. Embezzlement. Romance. Irene Hannon has packed it all into her latest Code of Honor novel, Dangerous Illusions.
Trish Bailey is still reeling from the unexpected death of her husband and her father. One car crash took them both and left Trish and her mom to grieve and live as widows. Just when Trish has found some semblance of normality, her life is shaken up again. And again and again. Trish's mother's unexpected death leads to a criminal investigation. All seems fine until other mysterious things begin happening in Trish's life.
Detective Collin Flynn isn't one to mix work and pleasure, but meeting Trish at her mother's crime scene blurs that line for him. From the moment they meet, Detective Flynn is infatuated. Can he keep his distance until the case is closed? Meanwhile, Trish's current romantic interest is a prime suspect in all of the mysterious activity. Will Detective Flynn successfully sort it all out before Trish is injured or killed? When the Russian Mafia comes into the pictures, Flynn isn't so sure.
Irene Hannon is a talented crime thriller writer. Without being too gory, Hannon has weaved a story of intrigue, deception and romance that will draw readers in from the first page. The plot proceeds at a steady pace that leaves readers constantly wanting more. The characters are interesting enough, but there's not a lot of character development in terms of character growth. Overall, though, Dangerous Illusions is a spectacular novel. Fans of Dee Henderson or Dani Pettrey will especially enjoy this story.
I received an ebook of this title in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
