Crime scene investigator Susannah Quinn has only worked for
the Aurora Police Department for nine months, transferring
here from Arizona. She's trying to restart her life and put
her past behind her. Susie devotes her time to all work and
no play, opening the door for few friendships since arriving
in Aurora. When she is called to the scene of a
murdered woman, Susannah meets Detective Christian Cavanaugh
O'Bannon. Chris is instantly attracted to Susie, but she
isn't interested in giving him the time of day. That
doesn't deter Chris.
Since his partner is out on leave, Chris asks Susie to
partner with him to solve this case. She shows an unusual
interest in it, and Chris is intrigued with her curiosity.
He's intrigued with Susie as well and doesn't back down
from her sarcastic comments. Susie's interest is a little
more personal than professional, and she's overly
determined to find this killer. She believes this is just
the tip of the iceberg and that a serial killer is loose in
Aurora. Can they find him before he kills again?
CAVANAUGH IN THE ROUGH is another delightful installment in
Marie Ferrarella's Cavanaugh Justice Series. Susie and
Chris are strong, determined characters and the banter in
their dialogue is priceless. Ms.Ferrarell is a master at
creating charming character dialogue in her books. Of
course, there is a plethora of Cavanaugh supporting
characters -- it's a very large close-knit family. The plot
is full of twists and turns and sometimes dead ends, but
Chris and Susie plod on full speed ahead, despite her
supposed dislike for him. You will not be disappointed this
time, as there is the traditional Andrew Cavanaugh party
with all the family present, and Susie is welcomed with
open arms. CAVANAUGH IN THE ROUGH is a great, quick winter
read, so grab a cup of hot chocolate and snuggle up by the
fireplace with this romantic suspense tale.
