Hidden Peril 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?

Another good book by Ms. Hannon.  I can't class this as an edge of your seat suspense book but it did have a good mystery.  I will admit that I had figured out who was the bad guy as least half way through the book.  I won't say more about that because I don't want to add any spoilers.

I really liked how her best friends were two guys.  When the story opens she is best woman at one of their weddings.  The guys are the family she never had as a child.  When she is in trouble they are there for her immediately looking out for her.  They also are ready to give Luke the "talk" about not hurting Kristin.  Luke is still getting over his wife's death three years ago to have any interest in another woman.  Then he meets Kristin at the wedding.  He can't quit thinking about her.  Then he is assigned the case of the murder in her shop.  As the story unfolds, their feelings for each other evolve into something besides case related. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who like mystery and romance.

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
