REVIEW: Lethal Beauty by Lis Wiehl
{About the Book}
Mia Quinn discovers that a series of seemingly unrelated murders are linked. How far up are the strings being pulled--and what happens when one of her own is at risk?
The murder Mia is prosecuting seems like an open and shut case--until the accused claims he was the real victim and that the dead girl attacked him first. The tabloids dub her a "lethal beauty." Still, a conviction seems imminent. Then a key witness goes missing. Just when it looks like the killer could walk free, the dead woman's mother takes matters into her own hands.
Meanwhile, Charlie Carlson, a Seattle homicide detective, is investigating the murder of a man whose body washed up on the beach of Puget Sound, but he's got little to go on. He has no dental work, fingerprints aren't on file, and he doesn't match any missing person reports. Then a church pianist is senselessly gunned down before horrified parishioners.
All three cases seem unrelated--but are they? Together, Mia and Charlie race to find the answer before another crime hits too close to home.

Lethal Beauty (Mia Quinn #3) by Lis Wiehl
Thomas Nelson
Release Date: March 10, 2015
Genre: Mystery, Suspense, Murder Mystery, Contemporary
Rating: 5 stars!
Lethal Beauty is the third installment of Lis Wiehl's Mia Quinn Mystery series. Now, I haven't read the previous two books in this series, but I absolutely loved Lis's East Salem Trilogy. The characters were lively and likable. I especially loved the title character Mia Quinn. I loved her. There was a wonderfully descriptive setting. The writing itself is very easy to read and it flows well. And of course the villain was deliciously creepy. Lis Wiehl, not only a New York Times Bestselling author, but a conservative legal analyst for Fox News.
Lethal Beauty is a fast paced, thrilling murder mystery. I look forward to picking up the previous books in the series and hope to see more installments in the future.
