Loved, loved loved it! Action and suspense keep you on the edge of your seat. So happy Michele has found her way. I am not saying anymore because I will leave it to the reader to find out where things end up with Rashidi. And all Michele’s other suitors! Sometimes, the things we want the most are right in front of us, but a leap of faith can be hard because the past is comfortable and what lies ahead is the unknown. The worst part about the third book in all of PFH’s series is saying goodbye to the characters. The best part is, she keeps them coming! Cannot wait for what lies ahead!
This book was a great addition to a continuing series. Like all of Pamela Fagan Hutchins’ books, the characters are strong, storylines are interesting and entertaining and the ending leaves you wanting the next installment quickly!
Michele is recovering from the loss of her husband. It has been 2 years and she finally relents and goes on a date. She is friends with Rashidi and starts to get greater feelings for him. Babies are dying and her grandson, Charlie, is sick and taken to the hospital. Cattle are dying, murder, attempted murder, drug deals. A conclusion to bring everything together. This is another great novel in this series.
What a great end to this trilogy. Michele solves another murder mystery where babies are dying. She also gets her second chance at love with the handsome Rashidi. The author does such a remarkable job with the characters. It is difficult to stop reading once you start. The history lessons given by Rashidi draw you in as he guides Michele on a tour of the Texas countryside. As Michele fights for her family and her community you feel her pain and her sorrow as they battle racial issues, illness, and other personal problems. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this series.
I love the main character. She is a smart, lonely widow. She is still grieving for her husband and her son and step-daughter have flown the coop. Michele Lopez Hanson has become a writer and is now financially secure so she’s doing pro bono work as a lawyer in her small town. She gets assigned two felony cases. The defendants couldn’t be more different.
Meanwhile she has a new grandson and he may have something wrong with his health. Her son’s marriage is rocky and Michele is fending off suitors while still missing her husband terribly. And she’s moving into a brand new house.
There is so much going on in this book, but it’s all tied together beautifully. I really enjoyed it. I think it can be read by most readers, although it covers the drug epidemic raging in this country.
A wonderful read
I love the familiar Texas landmarks that remind me of the state’s beauty. The continuation of some of elements from the previous books in the series gives the reader a sense that all is well. However, in true Hutchins fashion the peace is soon shattered, and Michelle’s life is thrown for a loop with the sudden tragedies. Things don’t make sense and she just can’t “keep her nose out of it”. Another delightful read in the series.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Oh, but I do LOVE this series!
The story in this one is, as always, complex, layered and enthralling.
There are various threads running in here: a baby’s suspicious death, that might be related to Michele’s grandson health; the strange behaviour of Sam and his wife; Michele’s sinister client; the dubious death of valuable cattle; Michele’s health, her search for her brother and her relationship with Rashidi. I told you: COMPLEX!
The plot is seamlessly woven, and the end is filled with suspense and danger. but it is oh! so satisfying!
I love that we get to see Michele struggling with her feelings for Rashidi, trying to balance her cases as a pro-bono defender with her writing, her duties as a friend and as grandmother and mother, and her attempts to dating. It’s fun and sad and very real.
As always, the characters are great and one of the main reasons this series is always a fabulous read. Michele’s family and her friends are full and interesting people and by now, I love them all.
Natalie Gray does a fantastic job with the narration.
I’ve read every book in this series, and absolutely loved every single one of them.
The books can be read as standalone, but oh my gosh.. the first I read was actually out of order, so I went back, snapped up every one of them and read them in order.
Outstanding series!
Grief stricken that this is the last book of three!
The intrepid Michele just can’t sit still! Still writing, returning to pro bono work, and now has a new grandson. Love may even bloom at last. Unfortunately, her worlds swirl and collide with the poisoning of an innocent that is too close to home. While Michele comes perilously close to evil, she has the righteous anger to prevail. A superb ending with hope for the future!
Michele Lopez Hanson’s life has changed so much since she lost her husband Adrian. Her son now has a son of his own and he is married to boot! Bell is off at college and Michele’s new house should be ready any day. The one thing she thoughts she could count on, her growing friendship with Rashidi, is changing too! Now all of a sudden there has been one terrible tragedy after another with a deadly twist and things are just not adding up!
This latest installment had my heart breaking but by the end it started to heal!
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this book it had just the right amount of mystery and romance that it was interesting. It was nice for Michele to finally find a happy ending and I was rooting for the man of her dreams. The writing was good and you really felt what Michele was going though along with her. She is such a strong and yet vanuable character. I think some of the credit should also go to the narrator.
Michele had returned to practicing law, doing pro bono work. However a tricky case in court takes on a deadly turn when her client begs for a ride. But that is just the start with babies and bulls dying Michele battles to prove there is more going on than the police can see and only before her own grandson falls down as a victim. Is it a illness or is someone deliberately hurting the children? In order to save her grandson Michele puts everything aside but at what cost to her son, daughter in-law and even herself?
As I said the narrator was excellent and I hope to hear more of her books.
A dead baby. A drug-dealing defendant. A bizarre murder. Searching for Dime box has all the makings of a great mystery … a juicy plot, full of surprising twists, with a terrific heroine like Michelle leading the way. Although this novel reads as a stand-alone, I recommend starting with Going for Kona (Michelle #1). Enjoy!
After months being by herself writing her book, Michele Lopez Hanson decides to help out herself and her community by doing some pro bono work. Unfortunately for Michele and her family, the case she takes has some terrible consequences. Her grandson get a mysterious sickness and it is tied to the case Michele is working. The more Michele digs for information the more she is blocked by someone. This could cost her her grandson’s life, and Michele isn’t going to let that happen without a big fight! I enjoyed this story very much and highly recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of it.
