Playing Dead by Allison Brennan


 This was a really great book. Moved very fast. Very hard to put down. 

Claire O'Brien is a private investigator and is working on a arson case for the company she works for. When she was fourteen her mother and the guy she was sleeping with were shot in her bed. Her father, Tom was the one they were looking at. He went to trial and was sentenced to death. Claire always believed he did it. Then, one day a young guy came knocking on her door to tell her that he may not be guilty. 

Mitch Bianchi is a FBI Agent and has been seeing Claire for awhile. He's been wondering if she's heard from her father. Partly because he escaped from prison. It's good if she was to talk to him about anything and right now she's not speaking to much. 

Mitch knows that he's got feelings for her and has been trying to keep from making love to her. It's very hard on him.

There is an assassin that had killed her mom and the guy she was with. He also wants Claire very badly. But, for him he needs to control himself. He don't want to hurt her, so he goes after other girls and ladies. Its the only way he can be around her for now. 

Claire ends up seeing her father and he tells her he's not guilty. At first she fights him. He explains that there was a young guy looking into it. He then, ended up disappearing. Claire decides to look into it for herself. She's good at what she does. She's not going to be making to many friends and there are many people that will find out what she's doing. 

A judge, a congressman and a very rich guy. All have something to lose. They will do everything to keep what they have done from coming out. 

Mitch and his partner find that young guy in the river not far from a small town. What they aren't sure of is why he's there in the first place. 

If you want to know how this book ends, pick it up. The end is really worth it. Don't forget to read a good book, check out my old posts. You might just find your next read.

I'm off to start my next book.
