DEATH VALLEY DOUBLE CROSS
A killer seeking revenge will stop at nothing to get it...
Pilar Jefferson is shocked to learn that her supposedly deceased father is alive and has been in prison -- and now his ruthless former partner is after her. Fleeing on her wedding day was the best way to protect her loved ones. But now with her mother held for ransom and her ex-fiance, Austin Duke, stumbling back into her life, can she keep everyone safe -- and escape an assassin?
A Desert Justice Story
My Review:
Reader whiplash warning! Just when you think things are going a certain way...well, they aren't! I kept shaking my head, going 'whaaattt?", recalibrating, and then off at break-neck speed in another direction. Loved it!!!! And the romance...oy, angsty reunion romance between two troubled souls who are still trying to figure things out. Luckily they don't have to do it alone because...
There are dogs, people, lots and lots of dogs! Especially one winsomely wise senior pug mix named Chunk! And Austin's posse of a family (two who have starred in their own breath-taking adventures!) So this was also a fun catch-up. With hopefully more books in our reading future.
No worries if you haven't read Framed in Death Valley or Missing in the Desert because Death Valley Double Cross reads wonderfully well as a standalone novel. Love this foreign (to me) setting too. The author's descriptions transform words into vivid images and made my read that much more captivating.
Another exciting instalment to Dana Mentink's Desert Justice Series.
