The Danger with Diamonds 

Falcon Point Suspense #1 

By Traci Hunter Abramson 

       and Sian Ann Bessey

The Danger with Diamonds is the first book in the Falcon Point Suspense series, but it is not the first book dealing with these characters. No, we were introduced to Lars Hendriks, Cole Bridger, Marit Jansen, and Isabelle Roberts in The Heirs of Falcon Point. And building on that story we are given a wonderful addition to that world with this new series debut.

Lars has been photographing the family heirlooms that were recovered in The Heirs of Falcon Point, and everyone is quite literally in the wrong place at the wrong time. Someone has decided to rob the bank where the Falcon Point jewels are being housed. But the target happens to be diamonds that Cole had to secure overnight in the same bank and the Falcon Points jewels are an added bonus.

Yes, the treasures that had been lost for years have been stolen, and the two cousins, along with Marit and Isabelle, will have to put all their skills and assets to work if they hope to clear their names, recover the jewels, the diamonds, and find out who is the mole within the CIA. And Lars and Marit have to be kept in the dark as to Cole and Isabelle's CIA affiliation. No problem!

The Danger with Diamonds is the perfect companion to The Heirs of Falcon Point, which is a prequel. There is plenty of suspense and a generous helping of clean romance blended well to craft a wonderful story. The talents of Traci Hunter Abramson and Sian Ann Bessey create a seamless story so that one doesn't get a jarring transition between their literary efforts. You can't tell where one ends, and the other begins. Now you don't have to read Heirs of Falcon Point to enjoy Danger with Diamonds but having the backstory is nice so that you'll know who Anna and Tess are when they are referred to. This book is perfect if you are looking for clean-reading Contemporary Romantic Suspense. I highly recommend this book, and it is one worthy of a reread!

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Some secrets are worth keeping. 

Others are not.

When Lars Hendriks arranges to meet Marit Jansen in Vienna, he is hoping their friendship will blossom into romance. What he doesn’t expect is a surprise visit from his cousin Cole or the loose diamonds he brings with him.

As a CIA operative, Cole Bridger is used to uncertainty, but when his work takes him back to Vienna, he looks forward to reconnecting with Isabelle Roberts, the fellow agent he dated briefly before duty took him away from Austria. Unfortunately, his silence over the last few months has created a chasm that he can’t cross without help. He barely takes a step toward repairing the damaged relationship when a brazen jewel heist seemingly links Cole, Lars, Marit, and Isabelle to the crime. The group is drawn into a deadly mystery, and once again, the treasures of Falcon Point are threatened. It doesn’t take long for them to realize they have stumbled upon something far bigger and more dangerous than a simple robbery. And someone on the inside knows it.
