Suspect

Albeit this book has almost nothing to do with the first one. The few things it has are the gist of this story. This book is awfully better than the first one but is not the best JC's work. I'll read the next of the series but without reading it I think that this series is a notch down by the standard of this writer.

This was the 3 in a series. Well written and entertaining. Could to keep your mind going in a relaxing manner. Predictable , but well written enough to grab your attention.,

Being a divorce lawyer Liam Raven is skeptical when it comes to relationships. However, his affluent father's bigamy stuns even cynical Liam who had believed he heard everything from couples. Apparently his dad Ron had a household here in Wyoming and one in Atlanta for twenty-five years with kids in both cities. While his families, the Ravens and the Fairfaxes, are in the media fish bowl, Ron is MISSING. Liam is elated to have a client Chloe Hamilton to distract him from his family issues as he has no idea how to help his distraught mom or his sister although the latter seems to have found a distraction in of all people a Fairfax. Chloe expects to be charged with first degree murder of her spouse, Denver Mayor Jason Hamilton. However, the case ties back to his family as the victim was a business crony of Ron's partner and apparent the other brother-in-law Paul Fairfax. As Liam fights his attraction to his client, he obsesses with proving her innocence by seeking the real culprit. Although lawyers acting like investigators especially on a capital case seem a stretch, readers will enjoy the exciting romantic suspense thriller SUSPECT, the second Ravens and Fairfaxes tale. The story line is action-packed and fast-paced as Liam and Chloe fall in love while he does field work to uncover the killer's identity. As these type of cases are emotionally draining on lawyers without falling in love and take up enormous amounts of time (except in Texas), romantic suspense fans will appreciate the strong tale due to the fine lead characters, but also know his actions seem implausible. Still this is a fun thriller and PAYBACK is coming. Harriet Klausner

Suspect was much better than Missing.The story starts with Chloe Hamilton who's charge with killing her husband Jason Hamilton. Chloe wants Liam Raven to defend her against the murder charge. Liam is of course apprehensive than is until he finds out he fathered Sophie Hamilton their daughter.There's a lot of twists and turns and just when you have things figured out. The rug is pulled from underneath. if you were disappointed by Missing you will find redemption in Suspect. I hope we will find out what happens to Avery Fairfax in Payback.
