"Body of Evidence", by Irene Hannon

                                                      

Contemporary and romance suspense

“Triple Threat”, book #3

With “Body of Evidence“, the author closes her series in a gripping tale of secrets divulged and romance kindled. In my books, this is the best imagined and written story of the three. What a stunning conclusion.

In a few words:

Dry. Grace Reilly a forensic pathologist noticed a curious pattern in autopsies of elderly residents whose demise appears to be natural. She has suspicions of foul play and brings her concerns to Sheriff Nate Cox. Working together they link pieces of the puzzle together but it came at a cost.....

My thoughts:

I was glued to the suspense from the opening page. The plotline moves at a steady pace and quite riveting from the get-go. Drop by drop the romance between Grace and Nate flourishes and I was inquisitive by this love game all through. Grace and Nate roles flow seamlessly and their attraction towards each other is well played out. They are well-defined characters and the supporting cast is a bonus especially Grace’s sisters, the teasing between them made me smile. This storyline is character driven and well done. Not only do we have romance but also an exciting mystery to follow. Did the elderlies died of natural cause or were they murdered? People being blackmailed or threaten what a suspenseful read...Who was behind this? And what was the reason for doing this deed?....I was kept wondering till the last chapter....what a surprise, the whodunit never came to my mind....

Well-done
