This is the third book in the author's Atlanta Justice series.
When lawyer Mia Shaw's close friend and co-worker Chase is murdered, a series of odd and dangerous events follow that lead her to question if there is a connection. Mia (who is hoping to make partner) is then given the case Chase was working on before he died. When danger follows, she wonders if it's more than she can handle.
Noah Ramirez is a founding partner of a private security firm with Cooper Knight and Landon James (subjects of first two books). Initially Mia does not trust him, but begins to realize he is a stand up guy who only has her best interests in mind.
I have read all three books in this series and did enjoy them overall. You can easily read this one as a standalone novel; however, it might have been my least favorite. I was frustrated initially by Mia's choice to decide a certain party was guilty - even with little to no evidence - and I then felt like it took her too long to adjust, even with her background and knowledge. Certainly she would have been emotionally involved, but it still seemed out of character and I just couldn't fully connect with her or the story after that. However, the mystery is good, the culprit not obvious, and it ends well.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
