Synopsis from Goodreads:

Pat is hired by attorney Jason Forman to �get some dirt� on his daughter�s fianc�. Before she gets very far in her investigation, the young man is murdered. Did his past catch up with him or is what Pat fears, that there�s a serial shooter going after Christmas Eve grooms, the reason he was killed? Pat and her fianc�, Detective Sergeant Tim Lindsey, are planning a Christmas Eve wedding which means, if she�s right, he�s on the shooter�s hit list.

My Review

Pat Pirard is super busy right now with her upcoming nuptials to Detective Sergeant Tim Lindsey on the horizon.� However, when she�s hired by attorney Jason Forman to get background information on his daughter�s fianc�, she accepts the job.� She didn�t think it would take up too much time to do a little background check.� She never expects to find herself in the middle of a murder mystery.

When Forman�s daughter�s fianc�is murdered, Pat discovers he could be the victim of a serial killer.� The killer seems to be targeting grooms getting married on Christmas Eve.� Pat is beside herself in anxiety - especially because her wedding is scheduled for Christmas Eve.� This makes her fianc�a potential victim as well.� It becomes a personal mission for Pat to find the killer before any other tragedies occur.

This is the fourth book in the series and it�s my favorite by far.� I�ve loved them all but this one really grabbed my heart.� It�s been a total joy to see Pat�s character grow from book one to the current book four.� This is why reading series in order is so important.� Although all mysteries are contained in each book and are solved, the character growth is essential to the story.� It can best be appreciated by reading the entire series.

Pat�s relationships with Tim and all her friends are strong throughout this series.� Their ups and downs shine through each page.��

This feels like a traditional mystery with realistic characters.� It�s a captivating tale that kept me guessing until the end.� The author has a great knack for keeping me at the edge of my seat late into the evening hours.��

I hope there will be more books in this series.� I�m already missing these characters.��



Disclosure:� �I borrowed this one from the Kindle Unlimited library.��I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
