Lethal Beauty (A Mia Quinn Mystery)
Lis Wiehl

Book Summary: It should have been an open and shut murder case, but Mia Quinn finds out nothing about it is simple. After a young Chinese prostitute is stabbed to death by her rich American client, the tabloids dub Dandan Yee “Lethal Beauty”—despite the fact that she was the one who ended up dead. Yet even with double standards and naked prejudice working against her, Seattle prosecutor Mia Quinn is determined to get justice for Dandan Yee. But when a key witness goes missing and an unsavory juror shuts down deliberations without explanation, Mia fears the trial—and the law—are being tampered with. A constellation of fresh killings has Mia and homicide detective Charlie Carlson searching for a common source and puts Mia’s family in the crosshairs of a Chinese crime cabal. Meanwhile, Dandan Yee’s mother has opted to take matters into her own hands . . . and the stakes get more lethal overnight. In the midst of all this, Mia has to contend with a fifteen-year-old son who is growing up too fast for his own good, and the idea that Charlie might want to be more than just friends. Can Mia and Charlie stop the murders and still keep her family safe? Or is the very act of seeking justice enough to cost her everything—and everyone—she loves?

Review: The book was very interesting. I really liked to see the main characters return. The storyline was sad. It was very well written and realistic. I did find it easy to read overall. The theme of human trafficking is tragic and difficult to identify in real life. The sideline story of Gabe and steroids was understandable at the end, but not as believable for me. It seemed to deviate from Gabe’s character. Overall the book was worth the read and had a quick wrap up. I really liked how the finally concluded. For me it was the perfect way to wrap it up because I like a big final scene, this topic is very real for people and I was glad to see the ending being quick and final. The bad men seemed to have eyes and ears everywhere, without anything stopping them from silencing those that threatened their interests. Sometimes, evil seems to have the upper hand and this alone is scary. I liked the unravelling of this evil, which became disorganized and desperate. The main character seems disconnected at times from God, and the faith side of the story was limited. I hoped to see a growth in Mia Quinn in her faith. The previous books seemed to be drawing her closer to God, but that seemed to be sidelined in this story. That was my only disappointment with the story.
I would like to thank Net Galley and Thomas Nelson Fiction for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.

Lethal Beauty A Mia Quinn Mystery Lis Wiehl April Henry Books Reviews

The lead character is interesting, intelligent, and easy to relate to. Unlike some in the murder mystery genre, the driving character doesn't have near superhero qualities. Lis Wiehl has woven a character that struggles with many of the financial, family, and relationship issues that are all too common today. However, compared to the previous two books in the trilogy, "Lethal Beauty" slows a bit and feels slightly rushed. That being said, this is a good book and a very worthwhile series. I hope Ms Wiehl will revive her Mia Quinn from within for another case to two to solve.
This is the third in the Lis Wiehl Mia Quinn mysteries. I enjoyed all of them, and this concluded them. I would like to read more of Mia Quinn mysteries should liz Wiehl decide to write them. Though I have served on a number of juries, I still was not aware of much information the lawyers and prosecutors can amass on the juror. All three books have added to my knowledge of trials and juries.
This is the third Mia Quinn book I've read. They are all very good. This story involves human trafficking and will keep you turning those pages to see what happens. You want to see who was killed and by whom. Does the murderer get caught? Why were these people killed? Then there's the side story of Mia's personal life, her problems with her teenage son and the two men who love her. Since many of the characters are Chinese, smuggled into the country and used as slave labor, you will never go into a Chinese restaurant again without remembering this book. It was a fascinating story and I highly recommend it.
This book was fantastic. I loved the series as a whole, but this one really stood out to me because of the serious content. This one focuses on the slave trade that is going on right now among the Chinese people. It's sad to think that we do still see this in our society today and after reading this book I have no doubt this still happens behind closed doors. What an eye opener Lis. This book also continues the story of Mia Quinn and her children Brooke and Gabe and another hard issue, steroids. Altogether this was a fantastic series and one I will be recommending to others.
I'll never feel completely sure an immigrant worker is not in slavery to some evil overlord. I love the author. I love her usual characters, but this was pretty painful for me. I skimmed some extreme violence. Heartbreaking that this could be, yes probably is, true. Hoping it does some good.
I enjoy the stories. The law parts are very good. I recognize Mia's loss of her husband. Her response to the two men who have some interest in her is somewhat juvenile. She seems content with their interest as long as she does not have to be a part of it.

Also, from a writing standpoint, are your readers going to see Mia Quinn, volume 108 before there is a kiss on the cheek? If so, it has been done before. I think they call it…..every tv series from Moonlighting to Castle. The problem is by the time they get hot, the reader will be bored.

Mia is an adult women who had some bad things happen. That makes her human. Let her grow.
This is one of the most ridiculous books I have ever read. I admit,, I did read all three books in this series. But in my defense, I thought they would improve. No such luck. After reading all three books in this series, I can truthfully say that I do not know one thing about the main characters that I didn't know at the end of the first book. Wait. That's not exactly true. I found out Mia is hopelessly stupid and annoyingly whiny.
The mysteries ran together and were easily solvable. No suspense and zippo romance. Don't waste your time or money on these duds.
