Veena’s review of The Perfect Murder (Maximum Security, Book 4) by Kat Martin
Romantic Suspense published by HQN Books 22 Jun 21 

Ever since Reese and his company announced their intent to purchase the Poseidon Oil drilling platform, not only are there incidents that appear to be sabotage on the platform, but the attacks are becoming more personal, targeting Reese himself.  When Reese and Kenzie declare their mutual attraction to each other, these attacks appear to extend to Kenzie as well.  Are these related or separate incidents that just appear to be suspiciously along the same timeline? Reese’s brothers Chase and Brandon and friend Jason from Maximum Security, along with Tech Sleuth Tabby, are on the job chasing down clues, trying to get to the bottom of things. There’s an FBI agent as well trying to get to solve the helicopter crash, but he seems to be more of a distraction than an integral part of the story.

When Kenzie’s husband is murdered in cold blood with a gun registered to Kenzie, she automatically becomes the top suspect, especially since her husband was planning to sue her for full-time custody of their son and left her the executor of a three-million-dollar life insurance policy, of which her son is the only benefactor.  Then her son is kidnapped, Now the four men jump into high gear trying to locate and save the child, while getting to the bottom of the plot to stop the sale of the oil drilling platform.

Just when all the lose threads are tied and things seem to be heading for a happily ever after, the author pulls one last bullet from her arsenal. All in all, a typical fast-paced enjoyable romantic suspense from Kat Martin.

Grade: A

It’s discovered the chopper was sabotaged, and Reese is determined to find out who’s behind the crash—and whether he was the intended target.
