What mostly stayed with me from this story was the fun banter between Luke Cavanaugh O'Bannon and Francesca "Frankie" DeMarco. They seemed to love to irritate each other, and I often felt for Luke's partner who had to be the third wheel with these two love birds. Because not only were they ribbing each other, they also had a great chemistry between them, both mentally and physically.
The murder mystery was puzzling and fascinating. The clues were there, there are some viable evidence or at least links between the victims of the serial killer, yet there were also the mundane tasks the detectives had to perform, the time consuming, energy burning investigation that could have been so frustrating and discouraging if the detectives were not such professionals. I liked how the mystery played out, how you got the feeling of the detective work in a realistic way, and how the solution came from the left without further fanfare and surprised even this seasoned mystery reader.
Yes, the Cavanaugh books have a little formulation thing going, you know there is going to be a big case where the relatives help them to solve it, the partner is new, they are reluctant to go to the family feast at the uncle's house, but end up loving it and lose the track of time, and then the romance develop - but the stories have a nice flow, they are written well and entertain the mind for an evening, and the fact that there are actually so many of them, and they all work in the law enforcement, it is kind of enticing and charming in itself. A good mystery with fun romance between appealing characters

One thing I will admit is that I'm not a fan of is the cover, it looks pretty cheesey. I'm reading this over on my kindle so it doesn't bother me, but I would exactly go out seeking a physical copy of the book.

After learning about the possible overdose on her cousin Francesca goes to Lkue Cavanaugh for help knowing that there is something suspicious about the death. On the other side Luke is working on case to go after a serial killer with a certain profile and together they will check out the possibility that her cousin was one of the serial killers victims.

I really enjoyed this book, it had all that I love in a romantic suspense book. I loved the characters and how Luke was able to get Francesca out of her shell more when it came to cases it was pretty much her life and she didn't have much of a social life outside of work. I loved seeing the connection and the romance between the two. I loved that I was able to see the point of view of both characters and see how they truly felt and what was happening on each of their sides. The one little issue I had was how rushed it felt when the serial killer was reveals and how it ended was rather quick within a couple of pages and personally I would've loved to see that dragged out a bit more. Overall this book was a pretty quick read and I enjoyed it.

I loved Frankie. She was a spunky & likable character. She & Luke had crazy chemistry and I loved the suspense in this story. It kept me enthralled and reading up until the wee hours of the night & morning!

Always a pleasure to visit the Cavanaugh family again! The murder case was interesting and caught my attention quickly, and even though the sass and snark between the main characters was fun, there just wasn't a great connection pulling me in there. Still a pleasant read!

When her cousin is found dead of an apparent drug overdose, Detective Frankie DeMarco isn't buying it. She sets her sights on finding out what really happened and winds up working what looks to be a serial killer case with Detective Luke Cavanaugh O'Bannon. 

Luke isn't happy when Frankie comes up with the idea to use herself as bate on a dating website they think the killer is finding his victims on, but she won't take no for an answer. Can he manage to keep her safe when the killer comes knocking?
