Eyes of Justice begins with the murder of one of the main characters of a series of murder mysteries written by Lis Wiehl and April Henry featuring the Triple Threat. Cassidy, a reporter, Nicole, an FBI agent, and Allison, a federal prosecutor, have worked together on cases for 6 years. So, when Cassidy is murdered in her home, Nicole and Allison determine to find the killer and bring him to justice.
Cassidy’s ex-boyfriend, a Portland police officer, is their first suspect. Cassidy exposed him for his abusive behavior on the news, and they figure he would be angry enough to kill, especially when they find that Cassidy may have had evidence that he was covering up unethical practices.
But something just doesn’t add up. And when Allison’s sister Lyndsey is shot in a bank robbery, she tells Allison before she dies that the shooter thought she was Allison. With the help of an odd private detective, Ophelia, Nic and Allison finally figure out who the killer is.
The book has a lot of action and a believable story line for the most part. However, when the girls get a clue that Cassidy’s ex-boyfriend was drugged by another man, they don’t follow up on that clue. It doesn’t make sense that they wouldn’t ask who him who he was with. Though the beginning was a little slow, the story overall was interesting, even though I haven’t read any of the other books.
