ISBN: 9780373698479
While on medical leave from CPD, Chicago homicide detective Brodey
Hayward reluctantly agrees to help his Hennings and Solomon private
investigator sister Jenna with solving the Jonathan Williams’ murder that
another cop has lead. He visits
Williams’ vacant house where the homicide occurred. There he runs into interior designer Alexis Vanderbilt;
hired by the widow and mother of three Brenda to renovate the house.
Brodey persuades Lexi to delay her modifications and instead assist
him on solving the case. However,
determined Lexi fails to heed Brodey’s warning of take no risks when she begins
sleuthing on her own. This places her in
the crosshairs of a cold killer with no compunction to murder a pretty, foolish
but intelligent interior designer.
Revising his mission from solving a murder to keeping the woman he loves
safe, Brodey has never felt this scared even when he worked the nastiest
streets of Chicago.
The latest Hennings romantic suspense (see The Marshal, The
Defender and The Prosecutor) is an enjoyable investigative novel. The leisurely-paced storyline entertains the
audience especially once the inane heroine goes rogue.
