Collateral Casualties is the fifth in the Kate Huntington series and Ms. Lamb has hit her stride with this installment. The mystery is revealed in the first few pages when one of Kate's former clients, fearing for his life, turns to her for help. The action-packed story pulls in a cast of supporting characters, including bodyguards, lawyers, cops, and investigators, as well as close family friends.In this book, as in the others that I've read in this series, the relationship between Kate and her PI husband Skip is integral to the story. It's a loving marriage, built on mutual respect and trust. Collateral Casualties whirls the marriage on its head when Kate turns to her best friend Rob for help, knowing that Skip's first reaction will be to protect his family at the expense of her confidentiality promises to her client. Ms. Lamb does a good job with this balancing act, adding even more dimension to the already well-crafted character of Kate Huntington.The book offers action and suspense, romance, and intrigue, as well as plenty of car chases and hot-foot pursuits. Even if you haven't read any of the previous books, this one will make a great stand-alone read. If you're looking for a series, try this one. These books will definitely keep you happily engaged on your vacation.
