Clair is a journalist that has a family connection to Cambodia. She is lured to Angkor Wat  by the story of tourist deaths. Ancient artifacts are found in the backpack of the latest female victim, and her reported accidental death is questionable. Clair grew up with the tales of the infamous Khmer Rouge and the killing fields, as told by her uncle Jack.Antiquity smuggling of Cambodian artifacts, along with the suspicious death of lone women travelers could be the break that an aspiring freelance journalist needs to jumpstart her career. Clair soon finds herself smack in the middle of a band of murderous criminals. Her three week vacation turns into a nightmare, as she becomes the target of these deadly smugglers.In the midst of all this danger Clair meets an Interpol agent with a murky past. She is instantly attracted to Simon Trent, but she doesn’t trust him. Is he friend or foe? Clair finds it as hard to sort out her feelings for Simon as she does unraveling the mystery of the antiquity smuggling, and the resurgence of the Khmer Rouge.Author Kennie immerses the reader in the sights, sounds, and feel of the Cambodian culture, as she draws you into the life and death struggle of her heroine. There is plenty of action in this crime thriller, and a strong sexual attraction between the main characters that will titillate romance fans.Over all “Intent to Kill” is a good read for a cold rainy day. I found the relationship between Clair and Simon a bit frustrating, This novel is well written, though it drags a bit in places. This book rates a four star on my review meter. (Adult readers 17+.) This book was supplied by the author as part of a virtual book tour in exchange for my honest review.Reviewed by .J.M. Anton…..Author of  “Fateful Waters” and “Wind River Refuge.”
