"Dark Ambitions", by Irene Hannon

Code of Honor book #3

“Dark Ambitions” is a rip-roaring crime thriller based on the disappearance of an army buddy of Former Captain Rick Jordan. “Boomer” may be in trouble or worst but when he is found dead and the police deem his death accidental Rick is far from being convinced, turns to PI Heather Shields for help and joining force they set out to decipher what could have happened…but they soon find out that someone will stop at nothing to thwart their plan.

I simply loved this psychological mystery filled with lots tension on every page. It has oodles action, suspense galore to keep us on our toes, a bit of romance to soften the narrative. But what it does well is telling us how money and the search for power can corrupt anyone. This tale is neatly said.

Although part of a series this amazing novel works very well as a standalone. But be warned, if you haven’t read the first two novels you will be very curious to see what is in them. I know I was glued to every word with “Dark Ambitions” and so captivated I couldn’t stop myself from rapidly flipping the pages to see where it would lead. No doubts, the story is fast-paced, has crazy plot twists and an ending I did not see coming. A plus are the amazing characters to entertain us from the get-go.

I enjoyed this book immensely…Kudos

I received this book from the Publisher Revell via the First Reviewer Program for my thoughts
