Cece Campbell is a research assistant to Dr. Anthony Kline when he is murdered in his own home and all all of his computers are wiped clean. Matters become worse for Cece when she returns to her family home to find it burned to the ground in a presumed arson. Two bodies are found inside. Cece knows that she must run before her would be killer discovers that neither of the bodies is hers.
Taking to the streets, Cece has only her own wits and the aid of two Hilton Head police officers to keep her one step ahead of an assassin. But how long can she stay ahead of a killer? And if the copies of the reasearch her employer was doing were the reason she was being targeted for a hit, who issued the order?
This mystery was a real page turner for me, mostly because Cece Campbell was a perfect heroine, strong, smart, and not looking for someone else to save her. Although at one point in the story it is necessary for others to save her, she would have never remained alive to be saved if not for her quick wits.
There is a slight romantic subplot to the story, but it remains just that. It is enough to keep readers who enjoy a bit of romance reading, but not enough to turn away readers who are but fond of that sort of thing. It is a perfect blend of mystery and romance. The lack of any sexual encounters also makes this a good book for readers of any age.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.
