J.T. Denver is finding out that money can be a dangerous thing. A Dani Ross mystery.

This is a decent mystery series and I liked this episode in the series. This is a Christian-based mystery so it does have a preachy tone to it. I don't mind that in the series, but I did want to warn new readers because this one did seem preachier than the others I've read in the series. The mystery was a basic, solid mystery with a few interesting twists and turns along the way. Some parts of the story did drag a little, otherwise it would have been a four-star read. I do like the characters as well, even if Dani seems a little too perfect at times. Overall, this was a fun, quick read. ( )

This was a good sequel to "One by One". I thoroughly enjoyed the first book because it was so reminiscent of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None".

This one, a bit different in that no one actually dies (spoiler?), was interesting and engaging. The premise is that everyone is a suspect in the attempted murder of a very wealthy businessman. Everyone includes his three ex-wives and their extended families. There are more than a few red herrings, which I guess is common with any mystery. Drug use, dangerous tempers, overt threats...all leading to nothing.

As in the last book, Dani and Ben Savage engage in a bit of sexual tension, with it being played out a little more in this book in a kiss or two. It is obvious that there is chemistry between them, but I find the jealousy on Dani's part to be a bit petty and sophomoric. Also, I almost put this one down when Dani, in the first chapter, put herself in danger purely because of her stubborn streak. This is not the mark of a mature Christian woman, and I felt it was overdone, unnecessary and irritating. However, the rest of the story flowed for me.

While I would recommend this one, I probably won't read any more in the series. ( )
