review 1: Midnight Betayal is a romantic suspense by Melinda Leigh. It is an awesome mystery and the suspense is thrilling. I haven’t read anything by Melinda Leigh in the past but hope to read more in the future. This is another book that you can’t easily put down. Dr. Louisa Hancock is working at the Livingston Museum of Archaeology in Philadelphia. She was happy to get this job although it was a step down from her job in Maine. However, with the rumors that surrounded the stealing of items from the Museum there, she was lucky to get a job anywhere. Working for Dr. Cusack isn’t the easiest thing to do but she is managing. The only problem is that Riki LaSanta, an intern, is missing. Everyone is on edge about her but work must continue. Louisa relies a great deal on ... moreZoe and April in getting the newest exhibit ready. Louisa has problems with interactions with people. Her social life is barren. She is a genius and never fit in with the age of kids she was with for her intelligence. She didn’t date. Who wanted to date a 15 year old when you were a senior in high school or college? In the midst of worrying about Riki, Louisa begins to think of Conor Sullivan who helped her in Maine. He had a tavern somewhere in Philadelphia. Dare she look him up? No, her attention needs to be on Riki’s death and now Zoe has disappeared. Conor Sullivan worked hard helping run the Family Tavern. He and his brother Pat had raised the younger two Jayne and Bobby after their parents died. Now Conor wants to take more of the burden off Pat since Pat is married and he is not. Then Louisa Hancock steps through the tavern door and back into his life. She needs his help. Riki has been found dead and Zoe is missing. What can he do? Then the police arrive to arrest Conor for Riki and Zoe’s murders. However, the evidence is all circumstantial. Can Conor and Louisa find out who killed Riki and Zoe before they arrest Conor for it? What’s with the dog in the story? As they stay one step ahead of Detectives Jackson and Ianelli and find the murderer before they arrest Conor? It is a fantastic book to read and find out.
review 2: Dr. Louisa Hancock has just started over in Philadelphia, as the assistant curator at the museum. She has left behind a troubling past and experiences that cost her the job as head curator in Maine. She has moved into a lovely condo in Rittenhouse Square and is settling into her routines.And she is trying to look on the bright side of things. Unfortunately, some recent events in her new job have made it difficult, beginning with the attitude of Director Cusack who is a bit contemptuous in his remarks to her. But even more disturbing: Rikki, an intern at the museum, has gone missing. And shortly thereafter, her body is discovered and the murder weapon appears to be a replica of a Celtic knife that is part of Louisa's exhibit.As the police interrogate each of the employees, Louisa herself wonders if she might be a suspect. But when a second girl goes missing, another intern named Zoe, and the last place she was seen was Sullivan's bar, owned by Conor Sullivan, someone Louisa had met while in Maine, suspicions are turned upon him. Circumstantial evidence points to him, but it is clear to Conor and to Louisa that someone else is responsible. Is someone setting him up?There are a host of potential suspects, including someone Louisa once knew as a teenager...someone with whom she had a difficult past. And then there is a professor who may have made sex tapes with the victims....Rapidly turning the pages of "Midnight Betrayal" led me down some interesting pathways, and I loved watching Conor and Louisa connect with each other, a bit of joy in an otherwise miserable time in their lives. But when Louisa goes missing, and when we finally discover who is behind it all, I was totally stunned. I love when that happens, and that extra layer of mystery made this a definite five star read for me. Recommended for all fans of the author, and for those who enjoy romantic suspense. less
