Her Deadly Secrets
A young private investigator finds out the price of keeping deadly secrets when a vicious killer sets his sights on her in this pulse-pounding thriller from the USA TODAY and New York Times bestselling author of the Tracers series. Private investigator Kira Vance spends her days navigating the intricate labyrinth of Houston’s legal world, and she knows all of its shadowy players and dark secrets. On a seemingly normal day, she’s delivering a report to her top client when suddenly everything goes sideways and the meeting ends in a bloodbath. Twenty-four hours later, the police have no suspects but one thing is clear: a killer has Kira in his sights. Fiercely independent, Kira doesn’t expect—or want—help from anyone, least of all an unscrupulous lawyer and his elite security team. Instead, she launches her own investigation, hoping to uncover the answers that have eluded the police. But as Kira’s hunt for clues becomes more and more perilous, she realizes that she alone may hold the key to finding a vicious murderer. And she knows she must take help wherever she can find it if she wants to stay alive… Written with Laura Griffin’s signature “gritty, imaginative, sexy” (Cindy Gerard, New York Times bestselling author) style, Her Deadly Secrets is an electrifying and scintillating novel that packs a powerful punch.

Kira went to give her report in person to get money owed to her and ended up in the middle of a robbery where her co-worker gets killed and her new employer gets shot and that is just the beginning of the case.
Kira Vance is a private-investigator who is partnered with an old-timer Ollie who threw some background work her way on a high-profile criminal case against a doctor accused of killing his wife. Kira finds evidence that his alibi might not be the most respectable or reliable guy to bank on. Kira goes to the defendant's lawyer's house to deliver the report and get paid when all of a sudden her partner is dead, she is getting shot at, and she can hear gun fire in the kitchen where she left the lawyer. The lawyer survives and hires Kira to replace her partner, but Kira has to retrace all of Ollie's steps because she has no clue what he had just unearthed that would “blow the whole case wide open”. She has to move fast though because the killer is looking too and not even the lawyer's security team might save her as bodies start to pile up and the clues keep leading to nowhere.
Laura Griffin gives readers a stimulating case in Her Deadly Secrets (2019) and even the good guys get hurt. Griffin gives readers an unsuspecting villain, clues that literally come out of nowhere, and a heroine that reminds me of VI Warshawski who I love. The mystery makes complete sense and the trail does not seem outlandish when it reaches it conclusion. The supporting cast is in it just enough, though I did get a bit confused on who was the bodyguards, but that could just be me with so many names. As for the romance story-line, it makes sense for the characters during the action, but I do not feel that there was enough of the nitty-gritty for the “love” word to be mentioned. I keep thinking of the ending of Speed (1994) where Annie says to Jack what if it just the chemistry and the adrenaline of the moment. The entire time Jeremy and Kira were together there was danger, so I think a slightly different ending would have been believable to me, but for die-hard romantics you will probably love the ending. Mystery lovers will love the ending too as it has enough bite and a puzzle to keep you involved.
I received this book for free in a Goodreads Giveaway and give my opinion without prejudice and freely.
