The Triple Threat Club has solved intense murder mysteries before…but this time it’s personal.
Cassidy, Allison, and Nicole fight for justice every day—Cassidy as a crime reporter, Nicole as an FBI agent, and Allison as a federal prosecutor. Together they’re a Triple Threat to be reckoned with.
But when a ruthless murderer kills one of their number—and the authorities seem intent on keeping them out of the investigation of the crime—their desire for justice goes into overdrive. They find an unexpected ally in a quirky private investigator named Ophelia whose methods confound the wise.
Yet just when it seems police have the killer in custody and justice is within sight, he somehow strikes again. Not knowing whom to trust, the team engage in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the killer. Nothing can be taken at face value…and nothing will ever be the same.
A riveting Triple Threat mystery that will leave readers shocked and satisfied.

Lis Wiehl is a New York Times best-selling author, Harvard Law School graduate, and former federal prosecutor. A popular legal analyst and commentator for the Fox News Channel, Wiehl appears on The O’Reilly Factor and was co-host with Bill O’Reilly on the radio for seven years. Noted author Roald Dahl helped New York Times best-selling author April Henry take her first step as a writer. When April was eleven, she sent the famous children's author a short story about a frog who loved peanut butter. He read it to an editor of an international children's magazine, who then asked to publish it. April has since written several highly acclaimed mysteries and thrillers. Her books have been short-listed for the Agatha Award, the Anthony Award, and the Oregon Book Award, and translated into several languages. Two have been chosen for BookSense by the independent booksellers of America. April lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and daughter.
My Review for Book 3, Heart of Ice, is HERE.
My Opinion:
When I picked up this book, I was expecting a story more like the last one I read. A murder, and the three ladies look to solving it. That all happened, but I wasn't prepared for one of the main characters to become a victim.
Then I kept reading, mainly because I was more interested to know how the remaining two would solve it.
Funny how two become three once more with Ophelia coming into the picture, and again the mystery was solved.
I really enjoyed how it all came together. That says a lot, considering I only read book 3 in this series. I had just been lured in, and one is gone, and it still kept my interest.
I also think even if you haven't read a previous book in the series, you won't get too lost or even notice. The mystery is that good, it is really all you focus on while reading.
So another hit in this series, for me anyway. I think most of you would agree if you read it.
4.5/5
Recommend? Yes.

I read the last book too (and also didn't know it was part of a series). Sounds like this may be a good one. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteLoved this book… Lis’ experience as a reporter and as a prosecutor comes through in her books, especially the Triple Threat series. The three women are a crime reporter, a federal prosecutor and an FBI agent. Lis’ experience in the legal field and in the media allows her to write realistically about these characters and their adventures as they solve crimes. The books present a subtle, not preachy, view of faith, and are very well-written.
ReplyDeleteThe murder of one of the main characters is definitely more shocking if you’ve read the previous books, because you’re more emotionally connected to all the characters. So I’d recommend reading the other books in the series first! But then read this one—you’re going to love it.
