Fatal Consequence by Marie Force is book #3 in the “Fatal” romantic suspense series. Publisher: Carina Press, July 2011

Politics can be murder…

Lieutenant Sam Holland has no sooner accepted Senator Nick Cappuano’s proposal than she’s back on the job. A woman has been found brutally murdered and evidence points to Henry Lightfeather, a senator and close friend of Nick’s. While Sam investigates, Nick stands by his friend—complicating his own bid for reelection, and causing tension between the couple.

As Sam’s investigation reveals a scandal that rocks the capital, Nick and Sam discover that the biggest threat to their future might be someone from her past.

Sam is up to her elbows in a murder mystery that reeks of political mayhem and her team will pull out all the stops to solve this case. I love this series! This was an excellent read that I could not put down once I started. The mystery kept me guessing and I truly enjoy the relationship between the main characters and their friends and family. With a comfortable feel and engaging dialogue, this character-driven story is the best one yet in this charming and marvelous series.
