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.
