A Deadly Business - Book Review

" A Deadly Business" is written by best selling author Lis Wiehl. It is the second book of a new series of Mia Quinn Mysteries.  The book opens with a life threatening court scene and the excitement continues throughout the book.  It is a real page turner.

There four main threads throughout the book. One is the court case Mia and Charlie is working on.  The difficult decision Mia has to make is to try in court two teenage boys as adults or juveniles. The choice is harder because Mia works for the District Attorney and it is election time. The District Attorney's office is already being accused of being soft on crime.

Another thread is trying to find out if Mia's husband was killed or had an accident. Her and Charlie are doing some investigative work on their own when the local police refuse to reopen the case after seven months.

Then Mia has two men interested in her.  There is Charlie the homicide detective and Eli a public defender lawyer.  Which one will she choose if either. You will have to stay with the series to find out.

The last and most important thread is of Mia trying to raise two child by herself after their father's death.

All of this leads to a very busy life for Mia Quinn.  I think you will really enjoy the book. And as far as the mystery goes, you will not find out the answers to your questions until the end.
