annathepiperElizabeth Lowell's thriller Innocent as Sin continues her recent series of books featuring St. Kilda Consulting--her latest plot device for having studly, competent heroes run around with whip-smart, brave heroines, while things and people get shot at and other things explode and pasts get angsted over and crosses and double-crosses happen and oh yeah there's passionate smooching and sex, too.
In short, pretty much the perfect thing to read when you're sick. ;)
This installment has the studly competent hero embodied by Rand McCree, whose obligatory angsted-over-past is the death of his twin brother Reed five years before. The heroine is Kayla Shaw, a private banker set up to take the fall for laundered funds by her gun-running employer--who, of course, is the same person who caused the death of Rand's brother. Kayla throws her lot in with Rand, and they both throw in with St. Kilda to take the bad guy down.
Nothing terribly new or unusual here, not even for Elizabeth Lowell, but a well-executed and diverting read nonetheless. Three stars.
