Every Deadly Suspicion by Janice Cantore is a fantastic small-town suspense story. Hanna Keyes is the police chief in Dry Oaks, CA. The town has so many secrets – like what happened 30 years ago when her father was sent to prison for murder? Hanna faces off with the past while chasing a serial killer in the present. She joins forces with her ex, Jared Hodges, to help her piece together a mystery spanning her entire life.
I’m a big Cantore fan. I find her police procedurals intriguing and true-to-life, and in Every Deadly Suspicion, the characters and plot had me hooked from the beginning. Hanna goes from no relationship with her father to being thrown together with the accused murderer who holds the keys to her investigation. With lots of red herring and twists and turns, Every Deadly Suspicion had me trying to solve the mystery right along side of Hanna. The story isn’t heavy on the romance side of romantic suspense, but that’s fine with me. There’s still enough sparks between Hanna and firefighter Jared Hodges to keep romance fans happy.
