Publisher Description
Forensic pathologist Grace Reilly has seen her share of unusual deaths in rural Missouri. But when she begins to notice a curious pattern in autopsies of elderly residents whose demise appears to be natural, she takes her concerns to Sheriff Nate Cox.
Nate is skeptical about the link Grace is seeing between the deaths--and her suspicions of foul play. But her persistence is compelling. Once she finally convinces him her theory is credible and they join forces to investigate, danger follows. Because exposing the truth could destroy several lives--including Grace's.
Queen of inspirational romantic suspense Irene Hannon closes out her bestselling Triple Threat series with this gripping tale of secrets revealed and romance sparked.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Grace Reilly, a forensic pathologist, investigates a series of suspicious deaths in the fast-paced conclusion to Hannon's Triple Threat trilogy (after Labyrinth of Lies). Grace notices that the autopsies for several recently deceased elderly people, whose deaths were ruled as natural, don't add up. She takes her reservations to handsome, newly elected Sheriff Nate Cox, whom she develops a crush on. After someone vandalizes Grace's car, she suspects she's being threatened, but, undeterred, she continues to investigate and uncovers more suspicious deaths. As Grace and Nate pursue leads, a tip directs them to a God-fearing investment counselor who reveals that someone going by the initials "BK" had been threatening him by phone and coercing him into signing up elderly people for a Ponzi scheme. Nate and Grace develop feelings for each other as they search for BK, who is ready to go to extreme lengths to stop Grace's investigation. The faith element is slight, but the sweet romance charms and the exciting mystery will keep readers guessing. The result is a fulfilling series finale.

What I like best about Body of Evidence is that Grace and Nate are excellent characters. They are both flawed but readers will quickly know they will be perfect for each other – if they can just work through some things. Also, I like that Hannon uses the suspense in the story to drive the romance. Another element I like is that they both have close relationships with their families. I highly recommend this enjoyable mystery!
