The first book in this series is Face of Greed where we are introduced to Emily Hunter and Javier Medina, her partner. The second book is River of Lies. I am really enjoying this series.
In Illusion of Truth, Emily and Javier are faced with someone who
is up to no good, but on the other hand is trying to get Emily’s attention.
Book three maintains the police procedural genre but also pulls in
some unexpected actions by the apparent bad guy. Emily finds herself going down
one road, only to be met with resistance from forces she wasn’t expecting. She
wanted to find out the why behind the roadblocks she faced.
If you’ve read any of this series, you know that Emily does not
give up. This is something I like about her character. I also like the fact
that she faces everyday issues just like the rest of us – a mom with dementia;
a relationship she wants to take to the next level but isn’t sure how or if it
would be a mistake; a cat that appears at her door seemingly uninvited. I also
like the banter that has continued between Emily and Javier, makes me chuckle
at their interactions, even in the most serious of situations.
This is one of the better police procedural series I’ve had the
opportunity to read. I like the real-life feeling the author is able to
incorporate into his stories, the humanness that is captured with all that
Emily (and even Javier with his own relationship issues) deals with on a
day-to-day basis. These tidbits make the characters more relatable, at least to
me. I look forward to more of this series.
