“Any time you see Melinda Leigh’s name on a book cover, you know you’re in for a sexy, sinister, twist-ridden read.” ―USA Today

Curator Dr. Louisa Hancock left behind Maine and her troubled past for Philadelphia and a job at a prominent museum. Just when it seems that Louisa’s new life is safe from her dark secrets, the body of a museum intern is found―the victim of a brutal and baffling murder.

Louisa realizes this is no random crime. And when another intern goes missing, the abduction is linked to the only man who has ever tempted Louisa’s heart―Conor Sullivan, the owner of a Philly sports bar. Louisa’s past has taught her to be wary, but her heart refuses to believe Conor is guilty.

Now Conor and Louisa must dodge a police investigation as they race to find the real killer before another girl turns up dead. In their darkest hour, they find themselves drawn to each other. But trusting Conor could be deadly, especially as the evidence against him mounts…and as a merciless killer targets Louisa as the next victim.

I read Melinda Leigh's more recent works first, so was disappointed in the tone and overall tempo of the first two books in this series, but she showed serious growth between 2 & 3. This book has a really good flow, and many less "wait, how did we jump to this?" moments than the first 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept me guessing
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2014

Full disclosure: I was provided an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review.

This is the latest entry in the Midnight series by Melinda Leigh.

We've met the two main characters, Dr. Louisa Hancock and Conor Sullivan, before but this is their first time up at bat as the main protagonists. Louisa has now relocated from Maine to Philadelphia after being fired from her job as curator at a museum. She is now working as an assistant curator at a museum in Philly. Conor Sullivan, who started to melt her heart in the previous book, just happens to be a Philly native. He is running the family business, a bar/restaurant, and yes, he's still single.

A missing museum intern is found murdered; a second intern is now missing. When Conor is possibly the last person to see the second intern before she disappeared, he becomes a suspect. However, Louisa can't believe he is a killer and she's determined to clear his name by helping him investigate the crimes.

As usual, Leigh writes believable characters, who are flawed and scarred from their journeys through life. Louisa is smart; it's great to see her work to remove her barriers and open herself up to love. Leigh is equally adept at writing male characters - there are great moments of self-discovery for him as well.

Every great mystery writer is able to throw in enough red herrings to keep you guessing,and Leigh doesn't disappoint. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but I had two guesses by the end and I was way off. Great job!

Highly recommend.

1. Characters ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dr. Louisa Hancock is an Assistant Curator at Livingston Museum of Archaeology in Philadelphia.
April is Louisa's assistant.
Riki LaSanta is an intern.
Director Cusack is the Chief Curator at the museum.
Detectives Jackson and Ianelli are investigating the case of a missing person.
Zoe Finch is Louisa's intern.
Heath Yeager has a date with Zoe.
Conor Sullivan co-owns Sullivan's with his family.
Isa is Zoe's roommate.

2. Plot ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Someone has killed a young woman, cutting symbols on her body and making a funeral pyre. Once done, this person will get another victim.

Director Cusack calls Louisa to his office. The police are there to ask questions about Riki LaSanta, an intern who is missing. Detectives Jackson and Ianelli have pictures they want Louisa to look at. The pictures show Celtic symbols on the body.

Zoe is going on a date; she doesn't tell Louisa or April who she's dating. Zoe, Heath and his friends are drinking at Sullivan's. Zoe and Heath get into an argument and Conor bounces Heath and his friends out of the bar. Conor asks Zoe if she needs a ride home; she tells him that she'll call her roommate. Conor is closing the bar and Zoe is still there. Conor asks again if she needs a ride home. Her roommate isn't answering her phone so Conor takes her to the subway station. When he gets back, he sees an injured dog. He takes the dog to his apartment to clean her up. When Conor goes downstairs, a teenager tells him that he wants the dog back. Conor tells him he hasn't seen the dog. The kid doesn't believe him and a fight ensues. Conor decides to take the dog to the vet in the morning.

Louisa goes to Sullivan's because she's looking for Zoe since she didn't show up for work. She talks with Conor and he tells her that he took Zoe to the subway station. Conor and Louisa met each other while they were in Maine. He asks Louisa if she wants to go with him to the vet to get the dog.

Conor calls Louisa and asks her to come to the bar. When she arrives, Detectives Jackson and Ianelli are there because they have a warrant to search his apartment and car for evidence of Zoe's presence. They cuff Conor and take him to the police station. Louisa calls an attorney friend, Damian. He goes to the police station and talks to Conor before he's questioned. The police release him but will keep an eye on him.

Louisa and Conor have feelings for each other but they both have baggage they need to overcome. They have both been hurt but it doesn't stop them from caring for each other.

As Conor's apartment is being cleaned, he's staying at Louisa's. The Detectives go to her apartment to tell them that they've found a body. They don't know if it's Zoe.

Will Zoe be found alive? Will Conor and Louisa learn to trust each other? Will the killer be found before the next victim is killed? You'll have to read it and find out!

3. Writing Structure ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Melinda, again, has weaved an intense and heart-pounding story. She touches on characters from books 1 and 2 and I think it's great that she does that! You feel a connection with Conor and Louisa, hoping that they can overcome their hurt and begin to trust each other. Melinda also writes about the love the Sullivan's have for each other. It's a well-written, exciting story!

4. Ending ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
WHAT AN EXCELLENT ENDING! You will never believe who the killer is! The pieces are finally put together... It's a nail-biting and thrilling ending!

5. Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is Book 3 in the"Midnight" Series. Melinda creates these stories brilliantly. She doesn't disappoint her readers! This is why I love Series Books...each book is connected to the others. As a reader, there's history in the series. I'm ready for Book 4, "Midnight Obsession"!

3.0 out of 5 stars decent story line, too much gratuitous sex
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
I like Melinda Leigh’s writing, this series is not as good as her other series, e.g., Brie Taggert. I found myself jumping over many parts that were simply fodder of gratuitous sex. Nothing wrong with it, but it read more like a Nora Jones novel that has a little bit of story, and a ton of sex. If I wanted to read Nora, I’d have picked up one of her books. This is the second book of the series, the most interesting characters are the Sullivan family more than the main characters.

Reviewed in Canada on September 17, 2023

Seriously we as readers read this genre because we like to exercise our brain cells and solve a mystery BUT when you post reviews that name the killer it defeats the purpose! You do a disservice to both the author and the reader. Perhaps some readers are not aware that a ‘spoiler alert’ needs to be posted if someone truly needs to name the killer. This author is fabulous and I greedily read all her library has to offer, do not be afraid to delve into this genre. But please when you leave a review and feel the need to divulge the killer, LEAVE a SPOILER ALERT.

As usual this was another great read. This time I did not guess who the murderer was. I thought it was someone else in the story so was a great surprise or I should say, shock, to find out who it was. Well written and I’d recommend it to anyone who loves Melinda Leigh’s books.
