Hidden Peril (Code of Honor #2) by Irene Hannon

As teenagers, Kristin Dane and her two best friends took a vow to make the world a better place. Twenty years later, she's fulfilling that pledge through her fair trade shop that features products from around the world. All is well until, one by one, people connected to the shop begin dying.

Detective Luke Carter, new to the St. Louis PD, wants to know why. Before he can answer that question, however, the FBI weighs in and Kristin suddenly finds herself in the middle of international intrigue--and in the sights of the ruthless mastermind behind an ingenious and deadly, scheme. Can this cold-blooded killer be stopped before more people die . . . including Kristin?

My Review

This is the second book in this series, and can be read alone, but we pick up at a wedding, and go forward from there with a chance meeting and then a sad professional meeting a few days later.
This is a read that I felt I could be hearing on the news, it hits all too close to reality, and unfortunately it could all be true.
While my mind did lock onto who the main culprit was you will have to read to see if you catch on too. With a lot of action here you will not be able to guess what is around the next corner.
We are reunited with the life friends of the Tree House Gang, and I love the relationship they share, and how they are there for one another.
With a bit of sweet romance, and a strong faith in God, you will be wanting to come back soon for another linger into the lives of these characters.

I received this book through LibraryThing, and was not required to give a positive review.
