Bluegrass Peril (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense #82)

A wonderful suspenseful novel, that will hold you in its grip until the very end. I was totally shocked by who the killer was. Becky, a single mom, has had a hard life, and now finds herself in the middle of a messy murder investigation. Throw a ex-husband who shows up out of the blue and a handsome new boss...and the setting for romance is set. This author though was able to hold the reader's attention with her suspenseful story line. A good afternoon read.

Bluegrass Peril seemed more like a cozy mystery than a suspense, but I enjoyed it. I usually don't finish most of the LI Suspense stories I begin so this one kept my attention. It was romantic, but that part was minimal. The ex getting back into their lives definitely perked up the tension and I liked how she concluded that sometimes things seem right and people would like them to be right, but they are still wrong for you. I felt for Becky because she had a rough deal being a single (divorced) parent with two boys. I understood her situation and desire to restore her family, but was glad when she came to her senses. I also thought the breeding barn scene was LOL funny! Poor Becky was mortified, while Scott was oblivious.

I loved this book. It has a great combination of suspense with romance. The characters felt real to me and the plot kept me interested the whole way through. I found myself towards the end yelling at Becky not to do something. I do not want to give away the story so go find the book and read it! (and figure out what had me yelling at her for. :) ) Visit me for more reviews at http://www.abookloverforever.blogspot.com Brittanie

Horses, bluegrass, beautiful woman, hunky boss ... all ingredients for romance. But Bluegrass Peril is more than just fluff! The characters are real, the action is tight and, of course, the setting is magical. I love Virginia Smith's books!

Bluegrass Peril (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense #82) I had the privilege of reading and reviewing Ms Virginia Smith's novel, Bluegrass Peril. I love "who done it" novels, and this is one of the best. Don't miss it.
