The first book in Marie Force's Fatal series is a winner. We have a solid mystery, great romance and well developed characters. Although there wasn't a lot of suspense in it, the story has the feel of a police procedural since we see the investigation step by step. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
