In the second in the Code of Honor series, several seemingly unrelated deaths are revealed to have a common factor: a store that deals in fair-trade goods from around the world. Detective Luke Carter is on the case, but it isn't long before the FBI gets involved, and soon the store's owner, Kristin Dane, finds herself targeted by a megalomaniac with an ambitious and deadly scheme. Author Hannon specializes in romantic suspense, a subgenre that combines the thriller with the traditional romance novel. It's a subgenre that sometimes produces uneven results, and this book is a good example of that: the romantic story and the thriller story seem to be jockeying for position, each wanting to be the book's central focus, and the result is that the book has no central focus. It's skilfully written, and the characters are nicely defined, but some readers may find themselves wishing the author had just picked one element romance or thriller and stuck with it. Still, Hannon has established a solid fan base, and her readers will find plenty to enjoy here.--David Pitt Copyright 2019 Booklist
