Review: Minutes to Kill

 

✩✩✩✩

After corporate attorney Hannah Barrett tries—and fails—to stop a kidnapping in Vegas, she can’t shake the haunting image of the terrified young girl she couldn’t save. She tells herself that a visit to her hometown in Scarlet Falls could be a welcome distraction. But soon, Hannah realizes the kidnappers have all the info they need to track her every move. And when chilling e-mails about the victim appear in her inbox, it’s frighteningly clear what happened in Vegas has followed her home.

Eight months after a terrible family tragedy, Hannah turns to Detective Brody McNamara once again. Brody is eager to help, though he’s embroiled in the investigation of a brutal murder. But the closer they work together, the stronger their feelings grow…and the more they stand to lose when two seemingly unrelated, but equally deadly, cases collide.

Genre: romantic suspense

Publication date: June 2015

Mature content: yes

Review:  Minutes to Kill is book 2 in the Scarlet Falls series by Melinda Leigh. It's not absolutely necessary to read book one to follow this story, but I would recommend it (read my review of Hour of Need here). 

From the characters' point of view, I enjoyed book two more than book one. In particular, I found Brody much more approachable and likeable than Grant (from book one). But the action starts quite slowly and when it finally picks up the pace I felt I was being bombarded with so much detail and information I kind of lost track of the main issues. 

 

 

 

If you love romantic suspense this is still a great book though, and I recommend it.

 

Happy readings!
