Then Liam shows up at Finley's house late one night with a gunshot wound needing a place to hide and get patched up, and she knows she'll do whatever it takes to protect him. With much probing and prodding, Finley finally gets Liam to confess that five years ago he left the police force after he was falsely accused of shooting a teen during a drug bust. Even though he was never found guilty, he was forced to resign. Now, Liam's gun from five years ago has been used to kill his ex-partner -- and he's again a murder suspect.
It doesn't take long for death threats against Finley to start and with an excess of possible suspects, Liam, Finley and Tony are kept busy sorting out details and following leads. But will they live long enough to bring the bad guys to justice?
The really good thing about this fifth outing for Finley is the progression of her relationship with Liam, and we finally learn more about his background. It adds a special dimension to the sleuthing and the final outcome of the mystery plot. Don't miss BARGAIN HUNTING, a fantastic entry in this exceedingly enjoyable mystery series.
Book Summary
Finley's finally working on criminal cases at her law firm, but she's still no closer to solving the dilemma of her love life. On the one hand is Tony, successful partner in the firm - but also her boss. On the other, bad-boy investigator Liam, who won't commit but won't stay away, either. Into the mix add Tony's adoring 13-year-old daughter, who's got a serious case of hero-worship for Finley and her bargain-hunting ways, and Liam's too- perfect ex-wife, and Finley's hope of romance seems to be fading fast. (Meanwhile, Finley's mother is setting her up on blind dates with every rich, boring jerk in Florida.)
When Liam appears on her doorstep one night with a bullet wound, he's forced to tell Finley something he's never shared before - the reason he's no longer a detective on the force.
Turns out he was framed for the shooting of a 14-year-old kid in a drug bust...although he was never charged, his suspected involvement was too hot for the police, who asked him to resign. Now the same gun that supposedly killed the kid has turned up as the weapon that murdered Liam's ex-partner, and he's determined to clear his name once and for all.
Finley and her friends are on the case, but before she knows it, she's getting anonymous threats and has to go underground herself. Thank god she's still got Internet access!! Not only can she keep up with her beloved eBay auctions, but her keen fashionista eyes can see that some figures close to the case are living a little too well for their pay grades. Can she save herself, clear Liam, and find true love? If anyone can, it's Finley...
