Labyrinth of Lies by Irene Hannon | Re:View


Staying true to it's name, Labyrinth of Lies is just that - a twisted mix of "who is who" in the very best way.

I really enjoyed this second book in the Triple Threat series. I like that the sisters are still involved in each book though in a subdued degree to allow each sister their own story. In this one, Cate goes undercover in an unlikely situation in order to discover the culprit behind the disseverance of a student at a private boarding school.

I really liked the (very slight) creepy situation of Ivy Hall - it was a great read for the fall time - and how Cate and Zeke found themselves working together without knowing they would be. With their past looming, it's a great opportunity for them to decide how they will move forward after their assignments are over.

I was curious how it would work knowing that Cate was posing as a student and Zeke was a teacher--a situation rife for troubling things if you don't know Cate is in her 30s - but Hannon handled it really well.

While there wasn't quite as much romance in this, for the reasons I stated above, I still felt like it progressed well and at the right pace considering their past.

If you enjoy Christian romantic suspense books I think you'd like this one and solving the mystery of who is behind the nefarious things going on.


My rating: 4*

Labyrinth of Lies

From my Instagram

When the daughter of a high-profile businessman disappears from an exclusive girls' boarding school, police detective Cate Reilly is tapped for an undercover assignment. It doesn't take her long to realize that beneath the veneer of polish and wealth, things are not as they seem at Ivy Hill Academy. But the biggest surprise of all? The only man she ever loved is also working at the school.

Zeke Sloan has never forgotten Cate, but now isn't the best time for their paths to cross again. When their two seemingly disparate agendas begin to intertwine--and startling connections emerge among the players--the danger escalates significantly. But who is the mastermind behind the elaborate ruse? And how far will they go to protect their house of cards?

Queen of romantic suspense Irene Hannon invites you to scale the heights of human folly and plumb the depths of the human heart in this second gripping book in the Triple Threat series.
