When crime scene investigator Brooke Porter arrives at the home of a murdered woman, the only thing more shocking than the carnage is the evidence that someone escaped the scene. But where is this witness now? A thorough search of the area yields more questions than answers, and before Brooke even packs up her evidence kit, she’s made it her goal to find the witness and get them out of harm’s way.
Homicide detective Sean Byrne has seen his share of bloody crime scenes, but this one is particularly disturbing, especially because Brooke Porter is smack in the middle of it. Sean has had his eye on the sexy CSI for months, and he’s determined to help her with her current case—even if it means putting his attraction on hold so he and Brooke can track down a murderer. But as the investigation—and their relationship—heats up, Sean realizes that keeping his work and his personal life separate is more complicated than he ever imagined; especially when the killer sets his sights on Brooke.

Review: Touch of Red is one of Laura Griffin's older books, but it's just a good as her most recent ones. The plot is very well crafted, as is the romance between Sean and Brooke. I especially liked the fact that they both had met before and that there was already some simmering attraction between them. Somehow that makes the story way more convincing than some sort of instant love/attraction.
The end felt a bit rushed to me - but that was probably because I just wasn't ready for the book to end. I loved it and I wished I could have stayed with the characters for a while longer...
Touch of Red is book 12 in the Tracers series, but aside from being able to identify some of the secondary characters from previous books if you've read them (I've read a few, but not all yet), it can be perfectly treated as a stand-alone.
Happy readings,
