Week 29 Review: Killer View

From Goodreads:

New York Times bestselling author Roy Johansen delivers a thrill-a-minute read featuring a fearless heroine for hire.

An army vet and former bodyguard for the rich and famous, Jessie Mercado has faced all kinds of danger and always emerged victorious. But one thing this motorcycle-riding private investigator has never encountered before is an incarceration consultant.

Preparing wealthy people to go to prison is big business. When Owen Blake of Mamertine Consulting hires Mercado to find his missing partner, her suspect list is filled with recently released white-collar criminals, a few drug kingpins, and a couple of murderers to keep things interesting.

As witnesses turn up dead and car chases leave destruction in their wake, Jessie learns just how far someone will go to keep the fate of one man hidden. But why? To unravel the dark plot, she teams up with Kendra Michaels, a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, and together they hunt down the lethal secrets of Blake's company, hell-bent on staying one step ahead of disaster.

My Review:
I was really looking forward to reading this book! I really enjoyed reading about Jessie in the Kendra Michaels series, though I was a tad nervous, since this is just written by Roy Johansen, instead of with Iris Johansen. But I really enjoyed it and I'm so glad that I read it! 

That this idea is centered around a guy whose job it was to prepare the rich to go to prison, yeah, that's pretty interesting, but it also leaves a huge amount of suspects, from those that were his clients, to those that were affected by the crimes that those clients are now going to jail for, which made it more difficult and more interesting. 

There was a bit of romance with Brice, which was really adorable, and reminded me a bit of the Kendra/Adam dynamic, in which she doesn't want to let him him, but they were also their own characters. I'm rooting for them! 

Watching the mystery unfold, as things proved to be more dangerous, was so exciting and entertaining! I couldn't wait to find out who was behind and why it was happening! The pacing was well done, and I just flew through this book, and I really enjoyed how it wrapped up! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more of about these character!
