REVIEW
Girl Three was a very unpredictable book. It started out very slow. In fact, it wasn’t until halfway through the book that I actually gained any interest in knowing how it ended. To be fair, I could not help but to compare it to other romantic suspense books that I have read. Consequently, it failed to draw me in at first. It would be nice to know if that was intentional or just a flaw in the writing plan.
Girl Three centers around the mystery that lead to the death of Samantha Croft who was a lobbyist in Washington, D.C. Her older sister, Jessica Croft comes to town for her funeral and finds herself in the middle of a cover-up that she is determined to unfold. She is pitted up against her estranged father Judge Ryan Croft and a host of other politicians and high rollers. To make things more complicated, she is drawn to an ex-Secret Service guy named Michael Gillette that was secretly hired to protect her.
Although the book started out at a snail’s pace, when it does pick up, everything starts coming at you at once. Happily, I could not put the book down after that. More scandals are uncovered that deal with infidelity, blackmail, and the usual quest for power that Washington, D.C. was built on. There are numerous plot twists that will keep you guessing to the end. I would definitely recommend this book.
