Once again Pepper Basham has created a thoroughly intriguing mystery with this delightful hero and heroine. This series is one of the most refreshing I’ve read, and this installment doesn’t disappoint. Basham starts off with action, which doesn’t let up until the final chapter. She definitely shows she has talent for romantic suspense and uses humor to the best advantage. I don’t know of any other series that has me wondering how the good guys will get out of their latest predicament and in the next scene laughing out loud at the methods they use to escape. This is a refreshing and entertaining novel that will be added to my Pepper Basham collection. I received an advance read copy for review.
