CRUEL INTENT

Ali is busy remodeling an old house. The whole event is being filmed for HGTV. She is desperately hoping to be able host Thanksgiving Dinner in her new home. Her son and his fiance announce their engagement. In the midst of this hubbub, her contractor is being accused of murdering his wife. Ali is very sure that he didn't kill anyone but it's not going to be easy doing it. As her friend begs to help him clear his name, Ali is drawn into a website that the murdered woman had been frequenting - Single at Heart. Soon Ali's own life is in danger.

As usual, J.A. Jance writes a wonderful mystery. Her stories are filled with warm loving characters that seem like the people we know and love. At the same time, she weaves in a great intriguing mystery. I'm a huge fan of the Joanna Brady series, but I like Ali alot, too. She is a little older and a little wiser than Joanna. As usual, I can't wait for the next J.A. Jance book!

Rating - 4.5 stars
