Book Review: A Deadly Business by Lis Wiehl with April Henry


The second of Lis Wiehl's Mia Quinn mysteries picks up shortly after the first novel left off. Mia is still struggling to find a balance in her life as her workload becomes more and more stressful. As she is given a very difficult case involving juveniles, secrets about her late husband’s life begin to surface. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she begins to wish she hadn't started looking.

I was looking forward to reading A Deadly Business, because I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing the first book in the series a while back. I will say I enjoyed reading this book, although I don’t think it quite stood up to the first one. In the first book, it is apparent that she has garnered interest from two different possible suitors, and part of me hoped for a little more development in this area. That particular theme was revisited, but just didn't seem to move forward. Although the plot was suspenseful and kept me from wanting to set the book down, there were a few parts that were just too much of a stretch to be that realistic.

Overall I liked A Deadly Catch, and look forward to the next installment. It was an easy read and I am definitely hooked. If you like reading mystery novels that don’t require too much thinking, this book is for you.
