Morgan Hunter sacrificed everything for her career. She had yet to encounter anything she wasn't willing to do to succeed...until now.

When she uncovers evidence that the healthy foods she's been hired to promote may be dangerous, she must reevaluate her priorities. As questions mount and the body count rises, she finds herself caught in the cross-hairs of an organization that will stop at nothing to hide its secrets and protect its profits.

With no one else to trust, Morgan is forced to seek help from the man she drove away, but whom she never stopped loving...

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome suspense

The second book in best-selling author Kim McMahill’s Risky Research series brings FBI Agents Devyn Nash and Nick Melonis a little closer to their hunt for a mysterious corporation trying to manipulate American food and eating habits through the use of dangerous uncontrolled substances. In this story, a southwestern corporation making pre-packaged frozen foods for sale is under suspicion when a new division manager, Morgan Hunter, comes on the scene. Only the job is not what is appears to be and as Morgan searches for elusive information too carefully guarded by a micro-managing corporate head and the creepy assistant assigned to her, she stirs up a whole lot of danger. Unsure how to proceed when she finds a mysterious message, she calls on her former husband for help. Learning her predecessor died triggers the attention of the FBI who move in to tie this case to their own hunt for corporate greed stopping at nothing for their own nefarious purpose.

While this story can stand alone, readers will want to have read or read A Dose of Danger, the first book in the series, to be better acquainted with the FBI case and some of the characters introduced then. There is a large cast to get to know, and while they are so well drawn it’s easy to keep them apart, there is some back story that makes it a smoother transition to this new part of the series. Told in multiple character viewpoints, the pace keeps readers turning pages. For those who like clean-reading romantic suspense with lots of twists and angles to explore and ruthless characters, A Taste of Tragedy will satisfy. I look forward to reading more.

Morgan Hunter may have just taken a job that will cost her more than she could have ever imagined. She finds a flash drive with information leading to a possibly carcinogenic and addictive replacement for sugar being used by her new employer.

When Morgan calls her ex-husband, Nick, who is an FBI agent to help her lab test a sample of the sweetener, she unknowingly opens up clues in a large case he is working on putting them both in grave danger.

Will the ring leader get away again, or will Nick and Morgan get killed in the process?

Wow – this is hands down the best Kim McMahill yet! I’ve read many of her books including the opener of this series, Dose of Danger, and each one is more enticing than the last. The fast paced story is hard to put down and the time and effort put into the development of the characters kept this reader pushing on to the end. Great job, great read. Keep them coming Ms. McMahill!

Kim MacMahill continues to dip the reader's toes into the sea of corporate corruption. An eye opener, this novel- and the first one called Dose of Danger - follow the chess pieces, pawns and knights, good and bad guys, as they manuever around the boardrooms of the FBI, corrupt schemers, and nutrional research companies. Very well researched and realistic. There are a lot of players to keep track of, and at times the narrative becomes long, but it is a good read. Good to know third one is in the works. If you like intrigue, get these.

Without giving away any spoilers, this book hooked me from the beginning. Each character was well developed to the point that I felt like I knew each and every one of them personally. The story starts out following two story lines. The Giant Cactus Foods and Morgan story and the Nick and Devyn story. I wasn't sure at first how these stories were going to cross but absolutely loved how they did. There is nothing better than suspense and romance! I think one of my favorite characters of the book is Sofia who goes by a variety of different names such as Candace Rogers. You are supposed to hate her but in the end you truly have sympathy for her character and a want to know more about this captivating character. Hope to see more of this story develop! I would recommend this to any hopeless romantic (like me!!) or anyone who loves suspense and mystery! It's the perfect combination of both.

I am lost. I gave up at chapter 3. Not sure if there was a book previous to A Taste of Tragedy but when a chapter begins with characters that have not yet been introduced I am led to believe there was another book and the reader should already know who they are. I bought this book liking the storyline but there are too many good books to read. Not wasting my time with this one. Too bad her friends/family/editor did not give an honest opinion about the storyline.

Seldom does a suspense writer hold my attention as Kim McMahill did with her plot, characters, and word weaving skills in A Taste of Tragedy. I loved this book! And would highly recommend it to any of you desiring and able to handle a riveting read. Ms. McMahill's skill in using a chapter-change POV worked so well to let us get into the minds of each of her characters...no holds barred. Great job! Found myself having to take a breather in some of the more intense scenes. And, no, I'm not giving you one shred of a hint about the book. Just...you gotta read this book! Fantastic!

A Dose of Danger was wonderful and so is this one. A Taste of Tragedy has the same FBI partners working on unfinished business. Devyn and Nick are perfect partners. I'm pleased the author gave romance to both. Morgan, Nick's love,and Gage, Devyn's love will show up in the next book, I'm sure. At least I hope they do. They both are likeable characters. The diet industry is not kind to the public. In this book, they are willing to get the public addicted to their product. Even kill for it. Read this book and get hooked on KIm McMahill's adventures.
