Lis Weihl is one of my favorite authors and with “A Deadly
Business” once again she didn’t disappoint. A Deadly Business is the second
book in the Mia Quinn Mystery series. Mia is a prosecutor whose husband has
recently died. She pairs up with Detective Charlie Carlson to work on a case
together when he suggests maybe her husband’s death may have not been an
accident.
It would probably be best if you read the first book in the
series, A Matter of Trust, before this one but even if you didn’t there is
background information included to catch you up to speed. The characters were
developed in the first book but Ms. Weihl has introduced new characters in this
book. The story is full of twists and turns. The characters seem real and the
story line believable. There are a couple of different cases going on at the
same time but they are easily followed.
In this book I did feel like the secondary story of the case
she was working on kind of got left out a little and maybe wasn’t a real
important part of the book. It made good points and showed how we could and
probably should look at things differently. I think the secondary story could
have made a good storyline on its own if it had been the focus. And I suppose
it is how she introduced some new characters.
Over all if you like a good, clean mystery you will like
this series. Again I recommend reading A Matter of Trust first but it isn’t
completely necessary. I’ve really enjoyed both of these books and am looking
forward to more books in this series.
