Triple Cross by Mark T. Sullivan - The Jefferson Club, a super-elite resort in Montana, is currently hosting six of the richest men in the world for a very snowy New Year's Eve, when the place is taken over by anti-globalists, who free the men's families, but keep them to put them on trial for crimes against the world, broadcast over the internet. The problem for Mickey Hennessy, the club's security director, who was injured in the initial attack but managed to escape, is that his fourteen year old triplets (2 boys and a girl) are still inside, trying to find him. I really enjoyed it - over the top action, a damaged hero, spunky but not irritatingly so kids determined to find their dad, nasty bad guys, plot twists.
Watch Me by Brenda Novak - third in a related trilogy, stands alone without reading others. Twelve years ago, teenagers Sheridan Kohl and Jason Wyatt were attacked. Sheridan lived. Now some new evidence in the case has turned up and she's come back to Whiterock, TN to see if she can find out what happened all those years ago. And is immediately attacked by a masked man, who drags her out into the woods to bury her. She's saved by Jason's stepbrother, Cain Granger, who takes care of her after she gets out of the hospital. The problem is that Cain is a suspect according to the police, but Sheridan doesn't believe it. It got rave reviews over on Amazon - possibly reading the others might have made a difference. I found it a perfectly serviceable romantic thriller - good reading, but easy to put down and glad it was a library book. (S/T)
Woo! and that ends the Suspense/Thriller Challenge too!
