Deadly Mistakes reviewed for Rites of Romance

Deadly Mistakes by Denise Belinda McDonald
Samhain Publishing (ebook)
Reviewed by: Michelle Puffer


When Charlie Foster discovers a dead man on her living room floor, she becomes entangled in a web of viscious circumstances, which really have nothing to do with her.

Detective Bobby Allen is on leave from the Chicago PD, trying to figure out who killed his brother and trailing a man who ends up dead.

When another murder victim is found the local police are pointing their fingers at Charlie but Bobby is able to clear her by being in the wrong place at the right time. The two of them work together to defeat a madman and discover that there are more than one. Can their growing attraction keep this pair together or will Bobby's past come back to rip them apart?

The author has done a great job of making the reader care about the characters in Deadly Mistakes. The pace certainly never lets up and there are moments where you feel your heart pounding just as loud as you imagine the character's heart is. There are thrills and chills about in this suspense novel and definitely some nail biting moments.

While I truly did enjoy the story, there came a part where I just felt it was too much. Could any more happen to this heroine? Towards the end I felt that perhaps it stretched out a bit too long. However, the author has a great voice for suspense and, I suspect, a great career ahead of her.

I gave this 4 Moons
