A Treacherous Performance by Lynn Messina

3.0

After reading the first 4 books in this series back to back, I felt compelled to read book 5 just to see dear Bea safely wedded to Kesgrave. That made reading this book a chore, and all chores are in the boring basket. The mystery aspect is much more simpler than in previous books, especially no dead body fell on her path until half way through the book. The only thing I could enjoy about this investigation was that Bea spent a lot of time with Kesgrave. They did the whole investigation and confronting villains together, which is different from previous books, and still Bea shined as the main character, not side-stepped by the main male character. There were a lot of heated moments that are much needed in a romance, but this is clean romance through and through.
