A Thrilling Read!
30 Nov 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you enjoy gritty, edge of the seat thrillers, UNFORGIVABLE is a must read. The third book in Laura Griffin's Tracer series is an exciting read with intricate plot twists and strong, believable characters.
When Mia Voss, a high tech DNA expert, is kidnapped by a carjacker she soon discovers it's not a random attack. Soon there's more threats, each more sinister than the last. She's forced to accept help from the one person she thought she would never see again, Detective Ric Santos.
Ric took advantage of Mia's trust during collaboration on a case six months ago when he asked her to escalate her lab work. She readily agreed, certain the sizzling attraction was mutual but as soon as the investigation was over, Ric disappeared without so much as a "goodbye". Unfortunately for Mia, time has not lessened her feelings.
When Ric Santos shows up to investigate a carjacking and shooting, he's ill prepared to run headlong into the one woman who got under his skin and stayed there, Mia Voss. Familiar urgings immediately take over as he questions her about the assault, urgings he's ignored ever since he walked away months ago. As much as Ric would like to act on his desires, he realizes Mia is more than just a quick fling. She's looking for a serious relationship. He's not.
Battling the dangerous sparks between them is not nearly as hazardous to Mia as piecing together the evidence from several gruesome murders. When Mia closes in on DNA proving the heinous crimes were committed by the same sadistic madman, she places her own life on the line to prove her theory.
Ric tries to tell himself he's just doing his job by putting Mia in protective custody while they unravel a mystery that dates back years to an old cold case. It's all part of being a good detective. But deep down, he knows he's taking things way too personal. If anything happened to Mia, it would hurt much more than the past betrayal he's worked so hard to keep secret. He'll do anything to keep Mia safe, even if it means risking his own life.
UNFORGIVABLE is classic romantic suspense. It has the heat and passion of a great romance and the layers of subtle clues evident in a great crime story. Ms. Griffin has once again impressed me with her knowledge and detailed description of forensic science. I was completely fascinated by the procedures Mia performed to extract DNA. A savvy, smart heroine or hero ultimately means the author has done her homework.
This is a book that will appeal to both genders. The romantic attraction is there and definitely sizzles but doesn't overpower the thrilling hunt to find the killer. I love romantic suspense and can usually decipher the clues to uncover the villain early on. I'm delighted to say I was completely blindsided by this one.
Don't miss out on this exciting series. There are two secondary characters I really enjoyed so I was pleased to learn they will be the next story in the Tracers lineage. If you're looking for a great stocking stuffer for that special reader in your family, I highly recommend UNFORGIVABLE. And if you want an extra kiss on Christmas morning, make sure you include UNTRACEABLE and UNSPEAKABLE.

A Romantic Mystery!
29 Nov 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you are a fan of Laura Griffin's Tracer series then you will love this book. If not, don't worry, this book reads great as a stand alone. In fact I have not read her other two tracer books, Untraceable and Unspeakable and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The two main characters have obviously met once before but didn't quite connect. In Unforgivable, they are the main characters.
After saying the above you would think I'm setting you up for a total romance book. Well, if that is what you are looking for you might be disappointed. Oh, yes, there is tension in terms of sexual and romantic you would expect, but the main story is a mystery that needs to be solved so Mia and her family can continue to live without fear of a madman gunning them down. The twists and turn in this book make it interesting and while you are trying to figure out who the killer is, you are also enjoying the relationship between Ric and Mia (even though I wanted to kick Ric in the butt a couple of times). I also really liked the character of Mia. She sort of reminded me of Abby in NCIS. Not her quirky side, but her professional side. One who works until things are solved with a keen intelligence.
I give this book 4 1/2 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed Mia as a heroine. I recommend this book to those that like a fast paced murder mystery with a bit of romance thrown in.

Fantastic Read!
24 Nov 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was my first Laura Griffin novel - It was great! I started reading and was totally hooked from the first thrilling pages to the end. The suspense was complicated (not silly) and not predictable! (I hate when I can solve something 70 pages in) All of her characters have depth and passion, for their jobs and for each other. Going on vacation? This is pure entertainment and a smart read - I know you'll enjoy it.
