This is an older book that the plot was a familiar one – woman on the run with her child. What make are breaks these is the why and the characters. I thought the story was a good one and the heroine wasn’t TSTL. The hero was a very tortured one and with what they had both been through one needed the other to heal from his past demons and the other got not only a second chance at love but one that would be a good protector for her and her daughter. The police said it was an accident - a late-night crash on a fog-drenced Mississippi highway that took the life of Robin Spinney's deputy sheriff husband, Mac. Two years later Robin stumbles across his journal - and the frantic final entry - and she is certain Mac's death was no accident. Terrified, she goes to the only person she can trust with the damning evidence. In less than twenty-four hours he, too, is dead. Convinced she is in grave danger, Robin flees to Serenity, Maine, and attempts to build a new life for herself as Annie Kendall. no reviews | add a review

Criminal Intent is a pretty average small town romantic suspense but does include realistic dialogue that moves the story along. However, the mystery involving Robin is nothing special and the story lacks emotion. Also, the plot drags, especially in the middle where very little is mentioned about the mystery, and the protagonists have almost no interaction. In addition, character development is weak, most notably with the villains as well as with the supporting characters. Overall, Criminal Intent begins with a bang, but that energy isn't maintained throughout the book. ( )
