Love the first two books of this series, have a feeling that the next one might be another "couples " story with Sam and Mac taking up minor roles in in. You have to read this in order as the second installment in this series draws heavily on developments from the first book the wedding of Mac and Sam for one. This is all about revenge and trying to hurt Mac in particular following the end of the last chapter. I will immediately be reading the third installment of this cosy thriller FBI series.

This is the second in the series and while you can read this book as a stand-alone it is helpful to have read the first book Sex, Lies and Sweet Tea to get a feeling for the characters.
I LOVE the charcters in this book-Sweet as tea and a Steel magnolia Smantha, strong on the outside and a marshmallow on the inside FBI agent Mac and my personal favorite Mimi, Sam's grndmother, the original Steel Magnloia and feisty 99 year-old. I want a grandmother like Mimi.
Part of this story hits a little too close to home as I read about Mac and how he deals with his mother's Alzheimers disease since my own mother is in a facility for the same diagnoses.
Kris Calvert has done an amazing job of moving the story along with just enough tension and fear to keep you hanging in there. While there are some laughs in this book I found myseld tearing up in parts too.
I can't wait to read book 3.
