DEAD END

Cold case investigation

Nina Holmes won't rest until she finds her mother's killer -- and prove that her father was wrongly convicted. And now that she's left the CIA she finally has time to pursue the case that shattered her childhood. But someone realizes that Nina's digging into the past and soon it's her own life that's in jeopardy. Deputy US Marshall Wyatt Ames is just as determined to keep Nina safe as he is to keep investigating. But as he helps her with the case, they discover that the killer may be even more dangerous than anyone expected. And to capture him, Wyatt and Nina must be willing to do whatever it takes -- even use themselves as bait.

My Review:

You can take the girl out of the CIA but you can't take the CIA out of the girl! Nina has the necessary talents to conduct her own investigation on her mother's murder. And that makes someone uneasy...and more than a little bloodthirsty. This book has it all -- a complex plot, fast-paced action and the thrill of a mystery that turns out to be so much more than it first appears.

Oh, and the romance? Well, Nina might be smitten if she can look past Wyatt's propensity to be a "stubborn, immovable rock." (p 91) And Wyatt's definitely attracted to this ex-spy. How could he not be when "Nina had that sweet PTA-mom look about her while still knowing how to kill a man twice her size with her thumb. It was kind of irresistible." (p 119) And yes, there's evidence of that droll humour throughout the story. A stellar romantic suspense that will keep you glued to the page until you reach the end.
