Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 31, 2013
Lust, Money, & Murder is one of the most suspenseful books I have read in a long time. Every time you think you have the story figured out and you know what will happen next, the author throws something in that completely changes your mind. They are small details that made me just stare at my screen like, "What just happened?"The story starts of with Elaine Brogan as a child and sets the groundwork for her relationship with her father. Then a tragic event happens that leads Elaine from desiring to be a model to desperately striving to become an agent with the Secret Service.The novel then takes the reader on a journey through Elaine's schooling and her training in the Secret Service. While she is stationed in the Bulgaria office (who knew the Secret Service had an office in Bulgaria?) she meets the love of her life, Nick LaGrange. I absolutely loved Nick because he loosened Elaine up and makes her forget the awful reason why she joined the Secret Service.However, there is a villainous character who has had Elaine involved in their scheme from the very beginning. Someone has been using Elaine and people around her as puppets in their counterfeiting business. I can't really say who because it would be a spoiler. I personally thought it was one person until the end and it turned out to be someone else.I would have liked to see more of Nick just because I love romance but when he comes in at the end of the novel it completely spurs up more action and suspense.Overall, I loved Lust, Money, & Murder. I really enjoyed this book not only because of the action and suspense, but because of the strong female lead. Elaine is an amazing heroine who doesn't need a man to survive and flourish in her career. This is definitely a mystery and suspense book that is in no way predictable and I rate it 5 stakes (stars).*I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.*Full review on [...]
