eviltammyThe Perfect Family by Carla Cassidy - Marissa's husband has been dead a year and she and her children are trying to move on. But the man who killed him in a hit-and-run has also decided that it's now time for them to become his perfect family. Good, fluff thrills.
Pursuit by Karen Robards - Jessica Ford, a new young and ambitious lawyer, is the only survivor of a car crash that kills the First Lady - and she knows it was no accident. Then there's an attempt on her life in the hospital and she's forced to lean on Secret Service agent Mark Ryan for help. Problem is that she's sure some of the agents were in on the killing - but was Mark one of them? Solid entry by dependable author - very readable.
Intent To Kill by James Grippando - Ryan James, a minor league baseball player with a chance at the majors, loses almost everything when his wife is killed in a car wreck, though his young daughter survived. Now, three years later, out of the game and cohosting a sports radio show, he's trying to raise his daughter and not fall into an alcoholic spiral, when he gets a message that the accident wasn't an accident. And the tipster claims to know who killed her. Ryan's investigation puts him and others in danger. Enjoyed it, but it didn't thrill me.
Bad Penny by Sharon Sala - Cat and Wilson are settling down and healing up on his family's farm outside of Austin, TX, but trouble is heading their way. A Mexican investigator is looking into a murder with a trail leading straight to Cat and a junkie with a grudge against Wilson is looking to complete his failed murder attempt. Fun, fast.
Loitering With Intent by Stuart Woods - Stone and Dino go to Key West. Stone gets involved in murder, gets laid, and solves the case. Dino provides backup and witty banter. Quality of the series has declined a bit, but still fun. Glad it was a library book.
