Irene Hannon serves up the final installment of her Triple Threat series in the steaming hot Body of Evidence. The baby of the Reilly sisters, Grace, has always been the romantic one. It’s not so easy finding The One when the ones you generally work with are dead. Sheriff Nate Cox, however, is definitely not dead and he makes her feel all kinds of alive from their very first interaction. As a pathologist who has to work with the handsome sheriff on a regular basis, Grace is compelled to work with him when she finds a pattern of consequences among the deaths of several local seniors. Following the evidence puts Grace squarely into the line of fire and together they have to figure out who is killing, how they are killing, and why strange things keep happening to Grace. Hannon simmers Body of Evidence to perfection and polishes off Triple Threat with all the flourish of a chef’s kiss.

I loved this third book in the Triple Threat series. I have not read the first two books ( though I plan to read them) and I had no problem understanding all of the characters in this story. I loved Grace and Nate. I love the suspense and the romance. I loved this story and the ending was fantastic. I received a copy of this book from the publisher for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

Body of Evidence is the third book in the Triple Threat series by Irene Hannon and boy does she write a compelling suspense story. I was unable to put this down and read it completely in two settings. Each story in this series features a sister and this one is Grace Reilly, a forensic pathologist in rural Missouri, not exactly a place where you would suspect suspicious deaths to be occurring. The elderly is dying, not an unusual thing you'd say, and I'd agree with you but Grace suspects they are related in an unnatural way. They have similar autopsy findings, and she has suspicions of foul play.
I enjoyed seeing the interactions between forensic pathologist, Grace and Sheriff Nate Cox.
Will she be able to show him she has the credible evidence to get him to investigate it though?
With my son being involved in law enforcement it's fascinating to read a book so well researched such as this one that really digs below the surface to show us what's really going on.
Suspenseful and intriguing. recommended!

Title: Body of Evidence
Author: Irene Hannon

Ch: 28 Plus Epilogue

Pg: 360

Series: A Triple Threat book 3

Genre: Christian Suspense with a hint of romance

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell

Body of Evidence is the final book in A Triple Threat series by Irene Hannon. I enjoyed this final book and getting to read Grace’s story. It was also fun to see a forensic pathologist as the heroine as you don’t really see that in suspense book. I also enjoyed that there was more suspense than romance. I like my romantic suspense with a hint of romance and Irene does it brilliantly



While Body Evidence is a standalone story in the series but it also wraps up the series. But reading this one has me wanting to read more romantic suspense in which one of the characters has a forensic or behind the scenes jobs not just in law enforcement as there’s not enough out there. And as always, I look forward to Irene Hannon’s next book.

Body of Evidence is the third book in Irene Hannon's Triple Threat trilogy. Just like the two before it, I couldn't put this one down and flew through it as quickly as possible.

As a forensic pathologist, Grace Reilly has seen more than a few unexplained deaths, but recently she's noticed a bit of a pattern of seniors dying a seemingly natural death. Is there something sinister at play, or did they die peacefully of natural causes? She brings her concerns to the local sheriff, Nate Cox, and while he is originally skeptical, they join forces to uncover the cause behind the mysterious deaths. But danger is lurking in the shadows and more lives--including Grace's--are at stake as they work as quickly as possible to uncover the truth and find the killer.

I've been looking forward to Grace's story since this series started so I was excited to finally get the chance to read Body of Evidence! Nate and Grace were fantastic together and the chemistry was obvious right from the beginning. Every page was packed full of hair-raising suspense, realistic mystery, and sweet romance, and like her other books, it was full of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I had no idea who the villain could be for the majority of the book, so I was suspicious of everyone. I did eventually figure out who was behind everything, but it took most of the book for that to happen. I loved every moment and didn't want this book to end.

Body of Evidence gets a solid 5/5 stars from me. If you enjoy Christian romantic suspense, you won't want to miss this one (and the two books before it).

This was a very good book. Irene had me guessing and then second guessing myself through out. I thought I knew who was behind everything but that didn’t seem to make sense so then I questioned myself.

The romance was also sweet between Grace and Nate.

I will say there was a lot of talk about stomach contents in this book so if that bothers you, you might want to steer clear 🙂

Overall, an excellent romantic suspense read.

I flew through this book and read it in less than 24 hours. Grace Reilly is a forensic pathologist and while performing an autopsy she discovers something that reminds her of another case she worked not that long ago. This raises her suspicions that maybe this person did not die of natural causes as suspected. After comparing her case notes she is pretty sure the two cases are connected and that the victims did not die of natural causes. She takes her concerns to the local Sheriff Nate Cox. He can’t immediately see the connection that Grace is seeing but eventually he agrees with her findings and the two begin working together for answers. While Grace runs tests Nate interviews various people. Meanwhile Grace’s car is vandalized, and a suspicious present is left at her home. Are these incidents connected to her theory or is she being targeted for another reason? Nate and Grace work together to piece together all the little bits of information they have.

Knowing that anyone could be the villain I was suspicious of everyone I met. There were two particular people I suspected early on, but then ruled them out for various reasons. However, I never should have doubted myself with one of them because it turned out I was right to suspect them.

This book kept me guessing and engaged in the plot. I loved the combination of suspense and romance. The romance between Nate and Grace stays in the background while the investigation is ongoing. I loved the interaction of these two and couldn’t wait for their first date to eventually happen. My only negative comment about this book is some of the autopsy scenes go into quite a bit of detail and is not for the squeamish.

I really enjoyed this conclusion to the series and spending time with each of the Reilly sisters individually and together. Their sisterly banter was fun. I recommend reading this series to anyone who loves suspense with a bit of romance mixed in.

This is part of a continuing series, which I had been anticipating but...it is way too ghoulish for me! Too many (very) gory details – & it didn’t read like a Christian book either. It went too far – the ending should have stopped at the (house) door. Not always convincing. An interesting plot, but not what I was expecting from a Christian writer : I would have stopped reading early on, if I had not been committed to a review. 3 1/2 stars

Irene Hannon once again knocks it out of the park! The storyline takes many turns and the suspicions abound. Even though we know most of the characters fairly early on in the book, it isn’t until the end where we find out the identity of BK, the person who is behind the scheme. The rest of the story is trying to figure out who BK is and how everything goes together. The romance between the sheriff and the pathologist provide an intriguing aspect to the storyline as well, although for Christian fiction, I felt like it emphasized the physical aspect of their relationship a little much although it never crosses the line. I also was a little leery of the aspect of Nate being in a relationship before meeting Grace and essentially breaking up with her to be with Grace. It is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to romance storylines. Nevertheless, the suspense aspect of the book kept me intrigued enough to push through my hesitations and enjoy the story.

Body of Evidence by Irene Hannon will have readers on the edge of their seats trying to get to the end of the story. Full of intrigue, danger, threats, blackmail, and strange unexplained deaths, the reader will be caught up in the mysteries along with Sheriff Cox and Dr. Grace Reilly. Suspicions abounded for me on who the mysterious BK could be, but it felt like the plot could go a number of ways right up until the last few chapters. I highly recommend this book. Grab a comfy chair with a blanket, and take time out to enjoy this story.

Body of Evidence by Irene Hannon- Likable Characters, Interesting Storyline


Body of Evidence by Irene Hannon is the third book in the Triple Threat series. If you like mysteries and intrigue, give this book a read.

Grace Riley is a forensic pathologist in rural Missouri. Not the kind of place where you anticipate stumbling across a lot of murders. Though the evidence seems to indicate Mavis died of natural causes, something about this case doesn’t sit right with Grace. It’s Friday night, Grace is alone and conducting an autopsy in the mortuary when she hears a noise. She investigates, but it isn’t until she goes outside that she finds the source of the noise and dials 911. The new local sheriff, Nate Cox, is on duty and responds to the call. These two working together will not be deterred until they get to the bottom of it.

I really enjoyed Body of Evidence, and from page one, I was hooked. The main characters, Grace and Nate, were likeable and had interesting careers. I liked learning about the job of a forensic pathologist, and very different in a rural setting as opposed to a big city. I enjoyed their friendship and developing romance. I also liked Grace’s relationship with her sisters. Eve and Cate. They were caring and supportive. The townspeople were intriguing, and I found myself examining them through the lens of a perspective suspect.

I appreciated that this a clean novel. Faith is talked about a little bit in the novel. I would have liked to have had that element further developed with the main characters. I did figure out who the bad guy was and wanted to learn about their motives and why they did their dastardly deeds. Very much liked Grace and Nate, there were upright in character, determined to find the truth and fight for justice.

If you like suspense and intrigue, if you like books that involve law enforcement and medical mysteries, I recommend Body of Evidence by Irene Hannon.

I would like to thank Revell Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a complimentary copy Body of Evidence by Irene Hannon. I was under no obligation to give a favorable review.

A young and beautiful forensic pathologist, a handsome new sheriff in town, and a curious pattern of autopsies. These are the ingredients for Body of Evidence, a fitting conclusion to Irene Hannon’s Triple Threat series. While this book is part of a series, it easily stands on its own. Having said that, I recommend reading the entire series. The books are that good!

Grace Reilly, one of three sisters, is the “star” of this book, but there is interaction between the sisters. Each of the books in the series features a different sister, and I love the relationships between the sisters and they way they cross from book to book.

But that is an added bonus. I loved the characters in this book and how well they were developed. I loved the tension and suspense, which kept me reading long after my eyes said I should stop. I loved that I was still guessing all the way to the end. And I love Hannon’s writing style, which is very direct and to the point.

Great characters. Subject matter. Suspense. Love and family. All these lead me to give a resounding 5 stars to Body of Evidence.

A wonderful conclusion to Irene Hannon's Triple Threat series! In Body of Evidence, Irene Hannon creates a fascinating storyline involving the local sheriff, a forensic pathologist and several suspicious deaths involving elderly residents in rural Missouri. Each book in the series can easily stand alone, but readers will enjoy getting to know each Reilly sister throughout the series. With books 2 and 3 being my favorites in the series, Body of Evidence provides a satifying conclusion, but I hope to see more of these characters in the future as Irene Hannon often has characters cross over between different series of hers.

As one of my favorite romantic suspense authors, I always know I am in for a treat when reading an Irene Hannon novel! With almost everyone a suspect in this novel, Irene Hannon keeps the readers continually trying to guess the villian's identity until the very end!

Body of Evidence is highly recommended for readers of romantic suspense.

Body of Evidence is the third book in the Triple Threat series and in my opinion it's the best of the three. This time the story is centered on the youngest Reilly sister, Grace, who is a forensic pathologist in rural Missouri. Her eventual romantic interest is the new sheriff, Nate Cox.

The two are drawn together when Grace begins to question a couple of deaths among the elderly in the community. As a result Grace becomes the target of an unknown perpetrator. The deeper she digs in the more dangerous things become.

The plot in this story is complex and obviously involved a massive amount of research on the author's part. I had no idea of who the murderer was until the author began to reveal the culprit. And when she did I was still astounded by the complexity of the situation.

Since the book is part of a series I'm often asked if it can be read as a stand alone title. On this one I would say yes you could but you will miss out on the references to past stories involving Grace's two sisters. However the main story is complete in this book. I would say read the whole series if you can but if not enjoy your time in this book.

Grace Reilly is a forensic pathologist in rural Missouri. While she loves her job, she feels it may be a contributor to her singleness. One of her sisters is married, and the other one is soon to be. Grace likes men, but when she tells about her day on a date...well, no second or third date follows.
When leaving work one evening, she discovers her car has been vandalized. Who would do that? The new (and mighty good looking) sheriff, Nate Cox responds to her call.
Grace notices some unusual things in two of her recent autopsies and Nate gets involved. Were the elderly people murdered or is it just a strange coincidence? The attraction between Grace and Nate can't be denied, but will it go anywhere? Neither of their occupations is conducive to lasting relationships. But, their occupations are similar in many ways.
This story was fast paced with twists and turns. I enjoyed it.

A handsome sheriff, a dedicated female forensic pathologist, mysterious deaths--all make for an exciting story! I thoroughly enjoyed this third book in the Triple Threat series by Irene Hannon. I admired Grace's dedication to her job as a pathologist. I certainly don't want to perform autopsies! New Sheriff Nate Cox was a caring official who wanted his staff to know they were appreciated. What is suspicious about old people dying suddenly! Irene Hannon did an excellent job with this book. I did not suspect the murderer until near the end! I recommend Body of Evidence to others. I received a complimentary e-book through NetGalley. This is my honest opinion.

Mystery and intrigue…Grace and Nate work together to determine who is killing elderly citizens…love and romance…murder and mayhem…family and friends…this is a cannot put down book by a talented and gifted author. She does not disappoint the reader…the details are amazing…the characters come alive on the pages of this novel. Red herrings abound…trying to discern the ending is almost impossible…it does come to a resounding conclusion. I like books by this author…she is a favorite…this book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thank you and to the publisher and the author. I look forward to more stories by Irene Hannon.

Let me first say that I have read every book Irene Hannon has ever written, and I will continue to do so. Forever. She has written many novels, but I believe this one might be her best yet! What a ride! An excellent thriller by one of the top Christian suspense authors, but I think anyone regardless of religion would enjoy the twists and turns and the brilliant original plot. Wonderful, captivating writing gives this novel the depth and ability to pull in any reader. Vivid, descriptive story-telling, with interesting characters that have depth to them, and skillfully rendered, and I also enjoyed the well-written pathology/medical scenes (I was a veterinarian, so I know when it's written correctly). I highly recommend this author and all of her other books I have read have been nothing less than fantastic. She is definitely an auto-buy author for me, and I can't wait to own this novel in print.

Hannon is Master of suspense. Her latest release is centered around forensic pathologist Grace Reilly who serves in rural Missouri. While doing her ordinary autopsies she notices something strange in the autopsies of some of the senior citizens. From the moment she starts suspecting an unusual death of the first victim, she begins to seek for a reason that perhaps they were murdered. But how and why? Thus begins a story that will keep you reading all night! Thanks to Revell for allowing me to read and review this most interesting suspense
