BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh’s edgy new thriller, Louisa Hancock thought she was safe…but there’s a new killer in town.
When a mysterious package lands on Louisa Hancock’s doorstep, the Philadelphia museum curator can hardly anticipate the nightmare that’s about to envelop her. The package is addressed to her father—an expert in Viking culture—and inside is a ninth-century sword, a chilling thank-you note, and photos of two dead bodies in a tableau evoking a Nordic funeral. The gruesome images match a recent crime scene. But before the police can investigate the killer’s connection to Louisa’s father, Ward Hancock vanishes.
Sports bar owner Conor Sullivan wants nothing more than to spend his life with Louisa. Devoted and protective, he refuses to leave her side after her father’s disappearance. When a troubled young boxer he’s been coaching is suspected of the murders, Conor is pulled in even deeper. Desperate, Louisa and Conor take it upon themselves to find her father, but soon another ritualistic slaying makes it clear there’s a Viking-obsessed serial killer on the loose. And he has a new target: Louisa.
REVIEW:
The last time we saw Conor and Louisa (book 3 Midnight Betrayal. Stop here if you don’t want any spoilers) they had just survived a close encounter with a killer. Now that things are finally settling down. They can get on with their life and live happily ever after. Wait what? That is not how a suspense series goes? That is not how Ms. Leigh operates? Are you sure? Okay, you are right. Ms. Leigh is about to drag Conor and Louisa down a very dark hole and make them question everyone around them. The question is will they be able to find their way out? And how much damage will be inflicted to those they care about?
Another wonderful story by Ms. Leigh. I am in awe and a little scared of these suspense authors minds. Ms. Leigh does a great job of taking us on a journey of who done it. All the while leading us down one path after another. Never giving us time to stop and look at the actual route we are going until the end. I found myself wondering about the who the whole book. I got parts of it right but didn’t see the end coming.
If you are a fan of romance suspense you really need to pick up a copy of Midnight Obsession. If you are new to romance suspense or new to Melinda you really should check out this series. I think you could read Midnight Obsession as a stand alone but I would suggest reading at least book 3 before so that you can have a better understanding of Conor & Louisa.
