Ann Voss Peterson is back with her third Intrigue, "Accessory to Marriage." Risa Madison is stunned when her estranged sister marries a serial killer who is locked away in a Wisconsin prison. She knows the killer is only using her sister to get back at her for an unflattering psychological profile she wrote about him. But matters grow much worse when the killer escapes, taking her sister with him. Her only hope to find her sister alive is to rely on FBI Profiler Trent Burnell, her former lover. Trent tried to shelter Risa from the ugliness of his work. Now she's right in the middle of it. Even if he can save her sister, can he save Risa from a madman's revenge?
Peterson is one of the rare authors finding ways to write unique stories for Harlequin, and this is another achievement for her. A very different kind of tale, "Accessory to Marriage" twists the marriage plot and offers an entertaining race against time. Peterson keeps the story flowing and has a way with the unexpected. Although the hero is hard-headed and the main couple seem to repeat the same arguments about their past over and over without making any progress, the action and suspense are strong. The villain is especially chilling. Readers looking for a nicely suspenseful romance, or anyone seeking a different kind of story they haven't read before, will find it in "Accessory to Marriage."
