The most dangerous enemy is the one who has nothing to lose.
As teenagers, Kristin Dane and her two best friends took a vow to make the world a better place. Twenty years later, she's fulfilling that pledge through her fair trade shop that features products from around the world. All is well until, one by one, people connected to the shop begin dying.
Detective Luke Carter, new to the St. Louis PD, wants to know why. Before he can answer that question, however, the FBI weighs in and Kristin suddenly finds herself in the middle of international intrigue - and in the sights of the ruthless mastermind behind an ingenious and deadly scheme. Can this cold-blooded killer be stopped before more people die...including Kristin?
My Thoughts:
Irene Hannon has long been a favorite suspense author to me. She writes great suspense that keeps me engaged until the last page is turned and weaves a romantic piece into her stories that never comes across as forced or syrupy sweet but genuine.
Hidden Peril was a ball knocked out of the ballpark for Hannon. I loved how she peppered the backstory for Luke and Kristin in a way that as the story progressed I felt like I was gaining two new friends. Hannon is a master of in-depth characterization and edge of your seat suspense. I thought I had an idea about this one due to the way Hannon expertly wrote the "bad guy's" character, but still in the end I just sat back and said, "Wow!" Grab Hidden Peril...you won't be disappointed!

Happy Reading Ya'll,
