Publisher's summary

The bodies of seven women have been discovered in Skull Valley, Arizona. Jonah Young, a private security operative from Department six, has been hired by the Yavapai County sheriff to assist in solving these murders. But Jonah’s not prepared for the complications that arise when he’s forced to work with a woman from his past, private investigator Francesca Moretti.

Jonah betrayed Francesca 10 years ago. She hasn’t forgiven him and she’s pretty sure she never will. But the woman she was hired to find has been murdered in exactly the same way as the seven in Skull Valley, so, Francesca has to work with Jonah. They quickly zero in on the most likely suspect - but questions remain. Questions they have to answer. Because if they bet on the wrong man, it might be the last thing they ever do....

Good Murder Mystery.......Romance kinda sick.

I am only rating this story on the murder mystery part. The romance story had too much angst, and in a weird way kinda sick. Again I don't know why this story is considered part of a series because it is a definite stand alone, and there is no interaction with others from the department or previous stories. The ending was good, the romance predictable despite the betrayal between the best friend and the hero.

Interesting romance

Okay, it's a good story although the ending is a little obvious from the beginning. Again, as a part of a series it leaves me disappointed because the characters from the first books don't develop in the following ones.

Great Listen!!

If you could sum up Killer Heat in three words, what would they be?

Great character development!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Killer Heat?

The ending is not what you will expect!

What does Cris Dukehart bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The reader brings a lot of life to each of the characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Karma!!

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend this book to others. This writer is the best!!

Great Read

Killer Heat (Dept 6 Hired Guns #3) was another great read by Brenda Novak. In Skull Valley, seven women’s bodies were discovered. Jonah is a private security operative who works for Department 6 and hired by the sheriff to help solve the murders. Unfortunately he has to work with private investigator, Francesca, who he hurt in the past. Ten years ago, he betrayed her trust in the worst way possible. She has never forgiven him but know she must find out who killed these women. They quickly focus on a suspect, but he may not be the culprit. I really enjoyed Jonah and Francesca’s story. I can’t wait to read more by Brenda Novak.

Killer Heat

This book makes you think about who the real killer is. There are clues you just have to look for them. You can read this as a stand alone. Has action, romance, suspense and some heartbreak.

GOOD STORY

CRIS DUKEHART'S VOICE IS TOO CHILDLIKE TO PERFORM THIS TYPE OF STORY. IF THE NARRATOR IS NOT GOOD, IT KILLS THE WHOLE THING, IMHO.
