Summary: Great mystery novel
Review: This was my first Barbara Parker novel and I found it to be an exciting, action-packed, suspense-filled, legal mystery. It included romance, legal battles, family issues, honor, mystery, and corruption. There were a lot of characters to keep track of and the plot involved multi-generations of people. It really made me think about the death penalty. I don't read a lot of mystery novels, but this was the same type of enjoyment as a John Grisham or James Patterson book.

Summary: Thrilling...A wonderful entry in a great series
Review: Twelve years ago a young woman was brutally killed, stabbed twenty-seven times. Kenny Ray Clark, a local troublemaker with a felony record, was arrested, tried, and found guilty. Now, many years later, his aunt is positive he is innocent.When new evidence is brought to light, Miami attorney Gail Connor agrees to take the case, even against the advice of her boyfriend, defense attorney Anthony Quintana. After reviewing the case, Gail feels there have been many suspicious events surrounding the investigation of the murder, and when she reads the original case transcripts she is convinced her client was wrongfully accused. Set out to free her client and find the real killer, Gail enlists the help of her cousin Jackie Bryce, a rookie cop trying to make good in her father's (who also happens to be the county sheriff) eyes. As the two begin looking into the murder, Jackie soon comes face to face with the dark secrets surrounding her own family, and the truth about her mother's death. Desperate for answers, and racing against time, Gail will need the help of Anthony, for behind this murder lies greed and deception, and if Gail is to uncover the killer's identity she will become the target of a terrible revenge. 'Suspicion Of Vengeance' is a thrilling read. Wonderful characters, heart stopping suspense, the hot setting of Miami, and clever plot twists sets this mystery apart from many of the others in this Genre. Barbara Parker has created a strong series with her Gail Connor novels, and her latest entry may be her best yet. Any fan of mysteries, thrillers, or legal suspense books should dive into this one. If you have not yet discovered Ms. Parker, do yourself a favor and READ HER, she is that good. A MUST read! Nick Gonnella
