Review – Primary Suspect

August 7, 2018 By The Suspense Zone

From the back cover:
Wrongfully Accused

A Callahan Confidential story

When fire investigator Mitch Callahan is attacked at a crime scene, he’s shocked to uncover the body of a slain ex-girlfriend—and realize someone’s framing him for murder. Widowed ER nurse Dana Petrie believes Mitch is innocent, and not just because he makes her feel alive again after tragedy marred her past. But is she willing to risk everything only to love and lose again?

My thoughts: Primary Suspect was soooo good. Mitch is a fire inspector and when he started inspecting fires from his deceased co-worker, he suddenly finds himself framed for murder. Grabbing an ER nurse as he makes his escape after a madman tries to kill him at the hospital, he ends up putting her in danger too.

Mitch is the only non-police officer in his family (except for his sister) but he knows the law and as a fire inspector he has the right to make arrests. He is not used to running from the law, or putting his police officer brothers in the position of aiding a “criminal” even though he didn’t do it. Trouble is trying to put all the pieces together to figure out who is framing him and why while he and Dana are on the run for their lives–and to escape arrest.

I love the cover for this book too. So peaceful, even if the story is everything but.

If you like romantic suspense, you will love Laura Scott’s Primary Suspect .
