BOOK REVIEW- Special Agent Finnegan


Special Agent Finnegan O'Reilly is on leave after being shot while undercover.  He needs to keep an eye on his father, who suffered a heart attack after thinking his son died.  His father not only needs to take care of his health but needs more help in their thriving Irish pub, O'Reilly's.  But his supervisor really needs help on an important case, which seems to be linked to their bar. 
Renée Knight is good at her job as a NYC cop, seomthing that she really loves.  She has suffered the loss of her beloved father; to a suicide which makes no sense.  Everything points to suicide except she has knowledge no one else has.   And she's not giving up until she gets to the truth; even if it means going undercover playing the victim wife of the bar owner to catch the killers. She really finds herself caring about Finn and now she has to hire the assassins to arrange his suicide. Things are really getting scary now!   

Renee was a enjoyable person to read about.  Her having all of the disguises kept people guessing about her and really added something to the story.    The fact that there was more to her using the disguises than just her job was more understandable as you get more into the story.  Finn and Renee seemed to have quite a few things in common, being in law enforcement, caring about people and doing something about people who needed help AFTER they became a victim of a crime.  Those are just to name a few.  People really liked Renee, even though she seemed to be something of a trouble magnet.  Or was it the fact that she refused to step aside when someone was in trouble; especially a woman?  I really liked her relationship with Finn's father (The Joker/The O'Reilly; as he was sometimes called).  The Joker was someone who added some fun to the story as well.
You know who the assassins are in the beginning of the story but the trick is the how, where or if they get caught.  A good mystery; with romance, spunk and a twist at the end. 

“I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review”.
