As with the first book in this series, the romance suffers a bit compared with the suspense part, but it is an entertaining and fast read.
One thing I did not like, though, is the fact that their father is murdered 20 odd years ago and miraculously all of their cases suddenly seem to be connected to this. ( )

In Deleon’s romantic suspense novel, P.I. Max Duhon has just taken on a case that will take him deep into the mystical bayou in pursuit of a mythical city that legend insists disappears when threatened. Colette Guidry has just hired him to locate a missing co-worker and Max refuses to let superstition stand in the way of solving this case. As the investigation deepens, so does the attraction he feels toward the attractive nurse and he is determined to protect Colette from dangers lurking in the bayou. With a specter that taunts them with voodoo and violence, the closer they come to finding the mythical city and its secrets, the more determined Max is to protect Colette and bring the case to a successful close.

Fast-paced, well-thought out, action packed—a fantastic addition to the Mystere Parish series. ( )
