Deadly Betrayal

Kelly McWinter P.I. #2

by Jude Morris, Jude Pittman

BETRAYING MIKKI. A fabulous mixture of Texas humor, heart-pounding action, sexy nuances and mounting suspense. There's plenty of excitement, plenty of intrigue, a local flavor to tickle the toughest of taste buds and a good serving of hot, steamy romance to titillate the senses. The second of Jude's Indian Creek, Texas mysteries reads like a locomotive with non-stop action from beginning to end.

When Stella's niece Mikki calls with news that she is expecting a baby by a married man who Stella considers a self-centered jerk things seemed bad enough. But when the "jerk" turns up dead after denying any responsibility for the baby and insisting that Mikki get an abortion, things get worse in a hurry.

Stella turns to Kelly McWinter to set things right but he soon discovers a tangled web of secrets and lies that threaten a young woman's freedom and put friendships to the test. Betraying Mikki is a riveting tale of greed, deception and murder served up with a generous helping of hot, steamy romance

Betraying Mikki is a totally engrossing, can't-put-it down story that draws you in and won't let you go. A bit of romance and love also creeps into the riveting storyline, giving it a wholesome feel. Ms. Atkins ties up all the loose ends quite neatly and ends the novel on solid footing. She leaves the reader anticipating more in the Texas series. All in all, an excellent read!

Reviews

[Judy Wise · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very nice mystery. Small town people gathering at the local bar discussing Anna and then she is found dead the next morning. Kept my interest all the way, and just confused me a bit as to who done it. Won't spoil it for you.

[Lillian Mack · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my favorites, this one kept me guessing right through one exciting chapter into the next. Judith really knows how to write suspense.

[LaSonya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent mystery. Usually, with some mysteries and whodunits, I have a hard time keeping up with all the characters and who is kin to who but not so with this installment. Was able to easily follow the characters throughout their different roles without total confusion. So refreshing to read a mystery like that for a change. Good work, Ms. Pittman. Will be on the lookout for future works by this prolific writer!
