Mira, Jan 2003, 6.50, 400 pp.ISBN: 1551666480Though her beloved
mother Irene suffers from early stages of Alzheimer's,
award-winning chef Abbie DiAngelo feels life is good. The single
mom is proud of her nine-year-old son Ben and her restaurant
Campagne is the hottest spot in Princeton, New Jersey.Her era of
good feeling ends when her stepbrother Ian MacGregor reenters her
life for the first time in almost three decades. He demands she
give him $100K or he will provide evidence to the Palo Alto police
that her mother killed her stepfather by having a fire set to their
home. Abbie's counteroffer is 48K, which Ian accepts. However, his
former partner Arturo Garcia arrives in town, seeking vengeance on
Ian who betrayed him to the cops ten years ago. Arturo kills Ian.
The police believe Abbie killed her brother, but Detective John
Ryan, a single dad, thinks otherwise. As they fall in love while he
conducts his homicide investigation, Abbie finds her life spin into
something worse as someone she cherishes is kidnapped with only
John willing to risk all to keep everyone safe.This exciting
romantic suspense picks up speed the moment Ian begins his
extortion plot and never eases up until the final twist occurs.
Though the kidnapping seems contrived, readers will enjoy the
tension that the plot emits. Abbie is a wonderful lead protagonist
whose courage to confront her foes will make her a fan darling. The
support cast rounds out a strong plot even if Scott Rolen was
traded during the last season from the Phillies.Harriet
