Marissa Calhoun sits in front of the lagoon, a beach-like swimming hole nestled Cairns, Australia’s foreshore. Tonight the lagoon is hers and hers alone … or is it? A tall figure steps out from behind the tree, his face cloaked beneath a dark hoodie. His footsteps slap against the pavement, fast and hard. Twenty feet, then fifteen, then ten. Instinct kicks in and Marissa breaks into a sprint, … Marissa breaks into a sprint, but she’s too late. His hand claws into the back of her head. Grabbing a fistful of her hair, he plunges her face into the water.
Who is Marissa’s vicious attacker? And why does he want her dead?
If you love a great mystery with a surprising twist, you’ll enjoy Deadly Sins: Lust.

Sloane is trying to deal with the death of Shelby. She is at her therapist when her friend Nick calls and tells her that his wife Marissa is dead. He is headed down to Australia to find out what happened. Sloane calls Maddie, another friend of both Nick and hers and together they also go to Australia. Things get rather tense. At first they thought it might have been an accidental drowning, but the medical examiner there has a feeling something isn’t right. Later they find evidence that it was murder. But who would kill Marissa? She was with friends for a wedding. What happened? As Nick, Sloane and Maddie start to investigate things, Nick gets into trouble. Now it is up to Maddie and Sloane to find out what happened and why. I did not see what actually happened to her coming! If you want to know what happened you will need to read the book. It’s a good one!!!
Another gripping story in this Sloane Monroe Stories series (Book 3). A tightly wound mystery that will keep you guessing from the beginning until the end. I have no idea how the author accomplishes it, but she can weave a complex mystery, full of intrigue, and condense it into a story yet never leaves you feeling as though the book was lacking anything. I never get enough of Sloane Monroe!
Deadly Sins: Lust
Cheryl Bradshaw has done it again. I love the Sloan Monroe Series… when I am reading these books I totally fall into the character.. and Sloane is a character, a character you can relate to.

Deadly Sins: Lust is the third book in the Sloane Monroe Stories series. When Nick’s wife, Marissa, dies in Australia, Sloane heads there to find out what happened. Some twists and turns later, the ending isn’t what you’d expect. I really enjoyed this story.
I am a huge Sloane fan and this story opens with Sloane in therapy to deal with Shelby’s murder. Sloane gets a call from Nick about a murder. This story is short but such a well told suspense filled tale that kept me guessing until the very end. Great Story and a must read!
