Description

When linguist Andrea Davis finds the body of one of her favorite professors, she notices the note pinned to the corpse is written in Old English—and the murder scene is straight out of an ancient tale. Shock and grief are not the only emotions she feels.  Disbelief, unease, and attraction run amok when she spies Brady Lancaster—the detective in charge of the scene.

Detective Brady Lancaster is drawn to the quiet fire burning behind the terror in Andrea's eyes, even if she did stand him up once. But when more bodies turn up, each bearing a similar note, her status as a witness changes—now she is at the head of their suspect list.

To prove her innocence, Brady will have to go rogue—before she becomes the killer's next target.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Andrea Davis finds the body of a professor. The detective in charge of the case is Brady Lancaster. Andrea becomes a suspect when more individuals are found murdered. This book kept me guessing until the very end.

Andrea Davis has the bad luck of stumbling across one of her favorite professors with a note pinned to her chest and one of her legs hanging above her head. The note is written in Old English, and the murder scene is right out of an ancient tale.

She's uneasy when she discovers the leading detective is Brady Lancaster. They have a sort-of past. They had met previously, he had asked her to dinner. She accepted, but then got cold feet and took off without saying anything.

So here he is again... just as dangerously attractive as she remembered.

More bodies turn up ... and they are all murdered in the same manner and a letter left on their bodies relating to an old language. Brady's partner insists that Andrea is a prime suspect.

To prove her innocence, Brady will have to go rogue—before she becomes the killer's next target.

This is a short read, just a tad over 200 pages, but it's also fast read. A typical romantic suspense, it has all the standard requirements .... boy meets girl, girl's in danger, hero saves girl, they live happily ever after. The only thing I found a little unique is Andrea's grandfather.

Many thanks to the author / Wild Rose Press / Netgalley for the digital copy of this Romantic Suspense. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
