“Body of Evidence” is book 3 in the Triple Threat series.

This story included a lot of suspense, clean romance, interesting characters, and a steady pace that kept my interest from beginning to end. I liked Grace’s determination to pursue her questioning regarding some suspicious deaths with older residents in her community. She didn’t give up despite threats against her. Grace and Sheriff Nate worked well together on her cases and I liked seeing their friendship grow. It was also interesting to learn about Grace’s job profession and what is involved in examining deceased bodies.

I didn’t figure out who the “bad guy” was until almost the very end when they were exposed. I liked the suspense and twists and turns in the story. Highly recommend !

ABOUT THE BOOK:
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 elderly residents whose demise appears to be natural, she takes her concerns to Sheriff Nate Cox.

Nate is skeptical about the link Grace is seeing between the deaths–and her suspicions of foul play. But her persistence is compelling. Once she finally convinces him her theory is credible and they join forces to investigate, danger follows. 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

Ethan and his mischievous twins were likeable, fun characters in this small town Texas romance story.  Ethan had trust and abandonment issues because of past relationships, but he didn’t let that stop him from caring deeply for his twin daughters and providing for them and his family. I really liked his strong work ethic, personality, and integrity.

I had a hard time connecting with the other main character Laney because I felt like she was selfish and unwilling to compromise with Ethan about her newly inherited land. I felt like she took the entire book to prove that she could be independent that she pushed people away. It also felt like she was stringing  Ethan along with accepting his help but seemed unwilling to have an adult conversation about future plans by always changing the subject which I felt was very childish.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this sweet Christian cowboy romance from beginning to end but I wouldn’t read it again. I like to be able to connect and like the main characters of a story, and this one didn’t do it for me. I adored the small town, Ethan’s neighbors and his parents; and how their faith and community kept them together.

MY REVIEW

Oh my goodness, I LOVED THIS BOOK!

Adele, her twin daughters and Sheriff Grady where the BEST, most likeable characters. This was such a feel good, happy, sweet, fun to read romance. It’s been a long time since a plot and town characters left me smiling this much! I can’t wait to read another Blackwell of Eagle Springs story!

Of course the main characters had personal, past issues to work thru in order to move forward in a relationship; and there were also lots of town drama with Adele being arrested and seemingly picked on by particular neighbors. I also loved the holiday element to the story with the decorating and family meals.

I truly can’t say enough good things about this book and series. Each one can be read as a stand alone story and this story was probably my favorite!

PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | BookDepository | IndieBound | Christianbook

MY REVIEW

This fast paced book has it all! Suspense, action, twists, deadly secrets, revenge… but also love, sacrifice and forgiveness. I have read the other books in this “Deadly Secrets” series and every book is better than the last! They can be read as stand alone books.

I love the k9 dog elements to these stories and how they are trained to detect and  protect others. I liked all the characters, especially Keely and Beau. They were very likeable and worked well together. Highly recommend this series and this book! Once you start reading, you won’t want to stop!
