Stroud Pharmaceutical manufactures natural stomach remedies among
other natural products. The company is well respected and a major
employer in Mayville, West Virginia. Then tragedy strikes. Six people
are dead from ricin poisoning and others are hospitalized. This could
be the work of terrorists, but why strike a small town manufacturer?
Laura Smith and Jace
Cantrel from the Tactical Crime Division (TCD) are assigned to go
undercover in Mayville as newly weds. They’ll be working at the
plant in the executive offices and on the production floor in the
hopes of finding how the crimes were committed. The only problem is
that Laura is uptight and proper and Jace is laid back. Can they
actually put on a believable show as newly weds?
This a quick read.
The budding romance between Laura and Jace is the highlight of the
story. The perpetrators of the crime are fairly easy to guess given
the dearth of suspects. However, the author handles the clues well to
keep the tension high.
The small town
setting is interesting and filled with unique characters. This is a
good addition to the TCD series as Book 4.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
