The Middle Sin (Cleo North #2) Reviews

Where’s the romance?
The case of the missing assistant was intriguing and well done. It was mysterious enough that it made sense when the investigation fed into an even larger conspiracy, that of course, brought Donovan back into Cleo’s orbit. There are numerous leads, and a couple of red herring moments when you think you know what’s going on, but Merline Lovelace did a good job of keeping the reader on their toes.
I’m still a little miffed that for a book sold as romantic suspense there really is no romance involved between the two main characters. I got a more romantic vibe from Marc and Diane - and that’s saying something. Speaking of Marc, there is a doozy of a secret that comes to light and I loved it.

3.5*
The second installment in the Cleo North trilogy, The Middle Sin isn't quite as strong as
The First Mistake. Even so, it's a better-than-average romantic suspense with a strong female lead and an well-developed suspense plot. Lovelace has evidently done her research and it shows. I look forward to the final book,
The Last Bullet. -
A fun, exciting romantic suspense with interesting characters and plot twists.
