Book Review: Lethal Beauty by Lis Wiehl


Lis Wiehl continues her Mia Quinn series with an installment that does not disappoint! Mia Quinn, a county prosecutor and single mother, is attempting to get a conviction for the murder of an undocumented immigrant. As other cases surface, they all seem to start connecting to the same location. Mia and her detective friend Charlie attempt to uncover the truth, but as they get closer, the situation becomes more dangerous for everyone involved.

I definitely enjoyed this book as much as the previous two in the series. As Lethal Beauty takes place shortly after the previous books, elements not yet resolved between the characters continue. Although the plot progresses quickly and is an enjoyable read, certain personal interactions continue to move gradually. We have seen previously that Mia has the interest of two men close to her, although she seems largely oblivious to how much she could mean to them. This theme is likely to continue throughout the series, so we’ll have to wait for more books to be released to see what comes of it. Other character development is ongoing as well, including Mia’s relationship with God and feelings about Church.

I appreciate how Mia’s human struggles are presented realistically. She faces failure and disappointment just like the rest of us do, and sometimes responds in a less than appropriate manner. We can learn from her mistakes and connect with her trials as she navigates her personal and professional lives.

If you liked the first two books in the series, you will enjoy this one as well. I would recommend this book for mature readers based on some of the adult themes present in the story.
