Another fun caper with Kieran Finnegan and Special Agent Craig Frasier. It was definitely a slow burn for me, but once the story really got going, it really stepped up. There was less focus on the Finnegan family and pub in this book but there is still enough to make you feel like you're one of them. Heather Graham adds a bit of NY history to her stories, so you feel like you're learning things and are a true New Yorker. There was a lot of interaction between the various law enforcement groups, and early on I was very suspicious of one of them. I ended up being wrong, but that's what these books do...they keep you guessing until the very end. These books never fail to have twists and turns, red herrings, and puzzle pieces that don't go together until the last second.

All in all, a great addition to the NY Confidential series. Graham never disappoints. If you like a stubborn, does what she wants female protagonist who goes all-in no matter the consequences, along with suspense, murder, and romance, then you will enjoy this series. For fans of Christina Dodd or Karin Slaughter. ( )

It has been a while since I have read a book from this author. Yet, the best part is that no matter how much time has passed away, you can still pick up a book and read it. Which was the factor in my case. It was like I had known the Finnegans very well. Also, Kieran and Craig seemed like a good match. Although, I thought that Craig was the more dominant one in regards to jobs. Kieran didn't show as strong a street smarts. Another reader mentioned that she was turned off by Kieran's wishy washy attitude when it came to worrying about Craig. I agree that Kieran knew what type of relationship she had with Craig and he proved to be capable of taking care of himself, so she should have trusted him. I mean, she trusted him to help her solve the case.

There was predictably in the storyline. Yet, this is still a good read. Once that I finished. Also, there was plenty of action and the intensity was good. It kept the story from becoming stale. Overall, a nice read. I am curious to get to knew more about Kieran and see if she is stronger in the prior novels. ( )

Heather Graham’s A Dangerous Game grabs you from page one and keeps you following the story of Kieran Finnegan. The character of Kieran is palpable and she is what holds your attention throughout as you learn of the gripping story.

I received A Dangerous Game through a Goodreads Giveaway. This review is available on Amazon, Goodreads, and my blog where I compare it to a Jane Haseldine novel at https://incidentalreviewsblog.com/2018/01/27/two-women-centered-crime-novels-two... ( )
