Luck of the Devil

Harper Adams Mystery, Book 3

By: Denise Grover Swank

Narrated by: Shannon McMannus

She quit drinking the day her mother died. Now she has to stay sober long enough to prove it wasn’t an accident.

Former detective Harper Adams is only days into sobriety when she realizes her mother’s car accident wasn’t an accident at all. The faded skid marks on the bridge. The drugs in her tox screen. The packed suitcase in the trunk, for a trip her homebody mother never mentioned. Something sinister happened—and Harper is determined to uncover the truth.

To do that, she accepts the assistance of the last man she should trust: James Malcolm, a crime boss with a shadowy past. He insists he’s only trying to help. Harper isn’t sure whether his offer is about justice or something else entirely, but she decides it’s safer to work with the devil you know. Malcolm gets results—and results are what she needs.

As Harper digs deeper, she unearths secrets powerful people want to keep buried. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes.

Loved it.

Love this series too. Looking forward to more adventures from these two. I wonder where Denise will take them next.

Wonderful Series

This is a wonderful series. Harper has flaws but James Malcolm does,too. They work well together. I'm looking forward to more books soon, I hope. Shannon McMannus narration is perfect for the book.

James Malcolm...Need I say more

I can't get enough of the stories Denise writes about Rose, Carly, James and now Harper. Just the right amount of suspense, mystery and drama. I love that she empowers the women in her stories, and gives them depth without demasculinizing the men. And I could not choose a better narrator. The only thing I hate about these books, is that I have to wait for the next one.

Great Story

I love the crossover with James Malcom. The plot was very engaging. I can’t wait for the next series. I think Harper Adams series is my next favorite after the Rose Gardner series.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Loved it alll!!!!! Favorite narrator! Denise has the best series and I love Malcolm! From Rose to Harper... it's been such a great series! Looking forward to next one!
