Rating: 5 out of 5

Harmful Intent starts off with Ronnie finding out her husband isn’t just out of town on business a lot; he’s been having an affair on the side. Feeling like an emotional basket case, she decides to take some days off from her job as a P.I. and fly to Texas to visit an old college friend for a little pity party. But things don’t go as planned when she finds her cheating husband there, cheating with her “former” friend. Things go from bad to worse quickly and soon Ronnie is a suspect in her husband’s murder.This mystery has gut-wrenching pathos, adrenaline-laced action, and gritty crime scenes, interspersed with just the right amount of humor. I loved the descriptions of Texas and southern charm from a New Yorker's point of view. It was a kick! The sideline story of budding romance between the two protagonists is light and fun and I can envision more to come as their relationship grows. Nike Chillemi has written a terrific mystery and I wholeheartedly suggest you pick up.
