Sweet Taste of Revenge

GIVEAWAY
ELLIS, MARY
SWEET TASTE OF REVENGE

When a wealthy socialite is found dead on her luxury yacht, her daughter Lainey hires private investigator Kate Weller to look into the matter. Agnes Westin created plenty of enemies during her climb to the top of society, many with a taste for revenge -- but did any of them feel strongly enough to kill her?

Kate has another reason altogether for returning to Pensacola, Florida, the only town she has ever called home. Her brother Liam has spend the past sixteen years in jail for his part in a robbery homicide -- and unless Kate uncovers the truth of what really happened that day, she will never be safe. Now someone wants to make sure her repressed memories stay buried. Can Kate clear her brother's name before the real killer silences them both forever?

My Review:

A private investigator procedural with a southern twist and a dash of romance. This is the second book in the Kate Wells series and I love this spunky, angst-riddled PI! Between the mystery surrounding her personal life and the intriguing murder case she's working, this book is chock full of page-turning suspense. Kate's close to breaking a cold case involving her imprisoned brother while pursuing a murder investigation with so many twists and turns I wasn't sure which way was up a time or two. As to the romance...welllll....let's just call it complicated and leave it at that. (though prepare to swoon over Eric!)

Because of some over arcing elements in both the romance and Kate's personal life, I think it's best to read the books in this series in order. (Don't despair if you haven't read Hidden in Plain Sight already, just check out the giveaway details below.) The relationships will have more of an emotional impact that way and you need to be brought up to speed on Kate's personal mystery to really enjoy how it continues to play out in this one.

Super excited to jump in and get reading the third book, which released in November -- Island of the Last Resorts.

Side note: While not a Christian Fiction selection, this book is a clean read.
