If I had known I would have read it so much sooner. The description just touches the surface of this book that introduces the Phoenix Private Detective Agency. This promises to be another wonderful series from Irene Hannon featuring three former law enforcement officers (homicide detective, ATF, Secret Service). They've seen too many cases fall through the cracks during their former careers and have come together to form a detective agency that focuses on justice. Each with skills, contacts, and resources that reach into their past, together they form a formidable force for justice.
The story is well written and edited with characters that become living persons in your mind. Research is evident in the realism of limits, proper procedure and time constraints when processing evidence. It never becomes mundane and boring nor does it trail off into unfinished side stories to hook you into the next book. The scenes are vividly depicted, conversation flows naturally and there are no obvious logistical errors. The romance has some definite '...sigh' moments yet remains clean. There is a light to moderate Christian thread that is well done. At no time does the reader feel as if they are being preached at, the characters lives reflect their beliefs.
The only draw back for me is the price of the next book. I really want to read it. Spending ten dollars on a digital book is right up there with spending six dollars on a cup of coffee. I read at least one kindle unlimited, free, or budget reduced book a day and make my own coffee. Honestly? I'll probably blow half my monthly book allowance on that one book. If it's as good as this one I'll be reading it again and again. Okay... I've just talked talked myself into it... I'm getting it... now... I'll write a review on it tomorrow.

Her car careens out of control, crashes into a tree and she temporarily loses consciousness. When the police arrive on the scene, there's no trace of a body to be found. The police figure she may have imagined it all. After all, she did lose consciousness and was most likely concussed. But she knew what she saw.She enlists the aid a PI firm and gets to meet tall, dark and handsome Cal. At first sight, Moira is drawn to him immediately. The same can be said for him. He thinks that she's gorgeous. A potential romance is in the workings. And why not? They're both single.Their investigation leads them to a doctor who works in a local hospital. By all appearances, he seems squeaky clean. A pillar of the community. It is learned that the good doctor is financing a medical clinic in Guatemala that provides medical aid to needy children. But something doesn't sit right. Where is all the money coming from to support the ongoing expenses of running the clinic? And they're pretty hefty. It's discovered his salary alone won't cut it. Something suspicious seems to be going on. It's time to roll up the sleeves.As they follow the leads that bring them slowly to the truth, they begin to learn more about each other. And they both like what they learn. They've been alone for far too long. Maybe something good will come out of this yet. They can only hope.
