I had the physical book and found the audio on Hoopla. Nancy Grace suggests it was all she could do not to race to the end and read the last pages, and Bill O'Reilly squawked for the cover. Nancy was paid to not run and O'Reilly would volunteer to stay in the news. All the signs were there. Basically, this was a cheesy mess.
I like smart characters. Now, there were two -- both had obligatory parts. It is the only way that makes sense.
Oddly enough, I didn't notice any profanity.
I did notice a narrator that whispered -- stop FBI. (Oh yes.) I would have read the book differently. I think there are lots of opportunities for this lovely voiced narrator; this was not a good fit.
The book: Three friends in educated employment positions overlap on cases: The Triple Threat -- FBI agent, crime reporter and a Federal prosecutor, one of them is murdered.
I liked the premise and thought parts were well-done. I believe this could be edited down to a novella and be enjoyable.

I hated that this was the end and that so many people died. However, it was a great ending and well written. I loved the action scenes.

This is not your typical crime novel. It grabs you from the first chapter and pulls you in. The Triple Threat friends are about to have a bad day. It starts when one of them receives a phone call about The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) and a possible cover up they implemented. The person who receives the phone call promises to meet the caller at her home. She is never heard from again. The Triple Threat are down to two friends, will they find justice for their friend’s murder before it’s too late?
My favorite characters in this story were Judge Fanconi who sentences the first suspect with an impossibly high bail, a kind bartender who gives free drinks and a free dessert to the two friends when he learns the third has been murdered, and Ophelia. Ophelia helps the two friends investigate, is highly intelligent but possesses little knowledge of social skills, and sacrifices her own safety to help out. I was very satisfied that even though this is a police book, there was no profanity in it.
What I didn’t like about the story:
Ophelia’s investigation leads her to a strip club in the story. There isn’t anything offensive described, but it’s an uncomfortable scene.
The funeral scene in the story starts out classy and respectful, but then something disturbing takes place and it adds drama to an already tense plot. It struck me as ridiculous and unnecessary.
There isn’t any profanity in the story, but many people are killed. Several are shot, one gets his throat cut, one is stabbed and strangled.
Since the police in charge of the investigation are not trusted in the story (one is a rookie and fails to do the job efficiently, one is untrustworthy for specific reasons, and they don’t want the two women poking around), it gets to the point where the two friends resort to deceiving one eye witness and the investigating detectives in order to protect one another. It does a great job of complicating the story, but it felt hypocritical and farfetched.
What the reader will read about in detail pertaining to law enforcement:
What’s it like to interview a suspect
How to treat a crime scene
What happens in an autopsy
How to analyze fingerprints
What it’s like to visit someone in jail
What it’s like to investigate a bank robbery
How reporters are critiqued by viewers
There are several references to prayer, the funeral takes place in a church, there are references to faith in God, Psalm 27 is used as a comforting scripture, the Lord ’s Prayer is spoken at the funeral, one of the friends wears a cross around her neck, and Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 is spoken at the funeral.
Each of the three friends are strong, intelligent, independent and love their jobs. However they each endure hardship that causes them to reflect on their beliefs. One of them suffers a miscarriage, one survives breast cancer and one breaks out of an abusive relationship with a police officer.
I enjoyed reading how Ophelia deals with communicating with others and her diligence investigating the situation. I was amazed by how smooth the writing is, how each chapter ends with another surprising clue, and how much these women love one another. Both ladies analyze the type of friend they were to their deceased member and deal with their grief throughout the story. Despite their knowledge of the law and how experienced they are at crimes, the murder of their friend makes their perspective personal and they begin to appreciate angles they didn’t consider before. It was interesting to see what investigations are like CSI style and I enjoyed the pace of the story. There is considerable violence in the plot, but other than the funeral scene it was appropriate and done well. There is a mixture of sadness, suspense, and faith well blended in this book that will keep the reader’s interest until the last page.
I want to thank Booksneeze and Thomas Nelson for the hardcover review copy they provided. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Lis Wiehl and April Henry have outdone themselves yet again. This novel is everything you would expect from a mystery thriller. This book was stunning, unexpected, unique, emotional, and adrenaline rushing. I love the fact that the characters are so alive, and you are immediately swept up into the story. There are no chapters that drag, and it is constantly on the go with suspense. My attention was pulled in with the first chapter, and I was immersed. I didn’t want to put it down and I found myself staying up until the wee hours just to get as much reading as I could in.
This is a Christian novel and I love the test of faith and words of wisdom contained within. God‘s presence is in almost every chapter, and it is really a great reminder how we are sometimes put to the test in our faith. When times get tough we can’t go running, but we need to stand our grounds, and prevail in our faith.
There are a few uncomfortable scenes in the novel that may bother some of you. One such is when Ophelia, the PI, that the women hire, braves a trip to a strip club in order to uncover information about a murder. However, this didn’t bother me in the least and actually made the story that much more realistic. Being a thriller dealing in murder it is expected to find yourself thrown into unfortunate scenes and circumstances.
I would have liked to see things turn out differently for the Triple Threat club though. This was both bad and good. In a way it was good because it was totally unexpected, and it made it impossible to guess the outcome of the novel! The Triple Threat women are forced to deal with a murder that is as close as you can get to them. This not only shakes them to the core, but makes them take a closer look at themselves, their life, and their faith. Despite the unfortunate losses in the novel there were also some great causes for celebration. In addition to discovering more about the Triple Threat women whom I’ve grown to love I am now attached the the newest character added which is Ophelia. She is just so unusual and yet so kind at the same time. She is such an enigma that I’m hoping in the next book to find out more about her.
The one thing I didn’t like about this novel is that it really leaves you hanging at the end. Some of the characters don’t pick back up, and I was SO curious to see how they would react to certain circumstances as well as to find out what happened to some of them. I can’t really go into further details about this without possibly spoiling the novel, but despite my minor dislike I would still recommend this novel to any mystery fanatic. I’m sure that Lis Wiehl, and April Henry will resume where they left off in the next novel. (Hopefully as I am left hanging)
If you like mystery thrillers then I would definitely recommend checking into this novel.

The Triple Threat was how they would always refer to themselves. It began after they met at a restaurant for dinner and ordered the most expensive dessert on the menu. Three forks for three amazing ladies that went to school together but never had anything in common until now.
Cassidy Shaw was beautiful and in the public eye as often as she could be. As a top crime reporter for Channel Four, she was known as aggressive in her pursuit of justice for the underdogs. Making sure that she followed any leads possible to make sure that criminals would never get off on a technicality and if they did, she made sure that the public didn't forget about the victim.
Nicole Hedges, is an up and coming top FBI agent now working in Portland, Oregon. Her boyfriend Leif Larson is also an FBI agent and they work well together covering one another's backs when it's necessary.
Allison Pierce is a federal prosecutor, married to a man named Marshall. She and Marshall have been trying to have children but they seem to end up in miscarriage. Her younger sister Lindsay is a recovering addict, trying to stay sober for a year now so she can open a coffee cart in the heart of downtown Portland. Now with Allison's help in co-signing for a loan, she just may make a future for herself.
When Cassidy receives a phone call advising her of a police cover-up involving her ex-boyfriend Rick, also a Portland Police Officer, she is more than interested. It seems when Cassidy went public with Rick's physical abuse, he escaped with a mild counseling session for his anger issues. Now if Cassidy can finally prove that Rick isn't the honest cop he appears to be, she may get the justice she needs. Only when this informant is afraid of retaliation, Cassidy offers to meet him at her apartment. However, when she turns up dead, Allison and Nicole are out to ensure that whatever happened to Cassidy does not fall through the cracks.
In the latest crime suspense thriller, Eyes of Justice by Lis Wiehl and April Henry, the three women are about to get their toughest case yet. Following all kinds of clues in this cat and mouse mystery is what really appeals to the reader. Just when you think you're on the right path, you find you're in a dead end and the ride takes off in a completely different direction. More than 2/3rds of the way through, I still hadn't figured it out and then I got turned around again. I LOVE THIS! I want to be completely challenged. The supporting characters are believable and seeing Nicole and Allison trying to work together to uncover clues is believable considering they aren't allowed to be part of the investigation or risk being fired.
I received this book compliments of Planned TV Arts for my honest review and couldn't put it down. I love a great Christian Murder Suspense Mystery and this one really appealed to me. I would rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars. I can't wait to read more from this incredibly talented author Lis Wiehl, who is not only a New York Times Best-Selling Author but also a Fox News Legal Analyst.

Cassidy is a crime reporter. She was just finishing up before she joined her friends, Nicole, FBI Agent and Allison, federal prosecutor for dinner and drinks. Cassidy receives a hot tip. It involves her ex and dirty cops. Cassidy agrees to meet the caller. It seems that Cassidy is on to something as the hot tip turns into something bigger than the Triple Threat group can handle alone. They relay on help from Private Investigator, Olivia.
Eyes of Justice is book four of the Triple Threat books. I was hooked by this series when I read book one, Face of Betrayal. I have grown to really like Cassidy, Niicole and Allison. It is like I am an honorary member of their group. After the bomb dropped in this book to the Triple Threat group, I was momentary shocked. I had to re-read the scence to double check that what I was reading really happened. This does not typically happen to me in a book that I get this invested with the characters or series. These books are quick reads.
I thought that the Triple Threat group did a good job of banding together. The action was non stop. The break out star for me though was Olivia. She was smart as a tack and quick on her feet. She brought a new prospective to the group and I liked that. I felt that Olivia was the one that solved the mystery and Allison and Nicole were kind of along for the ride. I hope that she does stay and she would make a good addition to the Triple Threat. I can not wait to read the next book. Eyes of Justice brings some hard hitting punches and answers back!

In this newest installment of the "Triple Threat Club," one of them is murdered. It is so unexpected, so devastating, and all the remaining two can think of is catching the killer. But, the killer may be out to get more than one member of the group. A new character arrives on the scene. Her name is Olivia and while she is young and rich, she is also reclusive and picky about what she does with her time. As a PI she can be. This is a case she wants to help with and dives in. While the investigation takes her places she doesn't want to go, she is after the truth. Will the killer discover who she is and mark her for murder too? Why are Cassidy, Allison, and Nicole targets? Is this fourth novel the end of the series? Come join the ladies in their hunt for a killer.
I was shocked when one of these ladies was murdered and the others became targets. I have really enjoyed reading about these three strong female characters and didn't want any of them to die. But.... Lis Wiehl sucked me right into the story again and it wouldn't let me go until I finished. Olivia was an interesting character to add to the story, and I enjoyed learning more about the others. I recommend this book to all mystery/suspense/murder book readers. You will not be disappointed!

I began reading these because of another more "paranormal" series written by Ms. Wiehl. There is one other of this series I didn't read (it precedes this one) and while these aren't bad I probably won't drop back and pick it up.
These are a series of books about 3 friends (The Triple Threat Club) who work together on "mysteries". The books always contain a certain amount of emotional angst (the first a bit less). Anyone who's followed my reviews at all will know that the angsty parts are somewhat of a trial for me and part of why I can't bring myself to go 4 stars here.
Now, I must say that the writing here is good and if the emotional intricacies are what you're looking for then obviously they won't bother you. I found that "for me" the plot often got lost a bit in the wade through the emotional swamp. Another slight minus for me was that the opening of the book (in a way) works as a sort of red herring, that bugged me a little.
Still, not bad and for you looking for the emotional roller-coaster this one has a new and bigger loop and dip for you.
3 stars and pretty good, some of you will think very good.

When I picked up this book, I was expecting a story more like the last one I read. A murder, and the three ladies look to solving it. That all happened, but I wasn't prepared for one of the main characters to become a victim.
Then I kept reading, mainly because I was more interested to know how the remaining two would solve it.
Funny how two become three once more with Ophelia coming into the picture, and again the mystery was solved.
I really enjoyed how it all came together. That says a lot, considering I only read book 3 in this series. I had just been lured in, and one is gone, and it still kept my interest.
I also think even if you haven't read a previous book in the series, you won't get too lost or even notice. The mystery is that good, it is really all you focus on while reading.
So another hit in this series, for me anyway. I think most of you would agree if you read it.
4.5/5
Then I kept reading, mainly because I was more interested to know how the remaining two would solve it.

A Quickie Review
If you thought the previous Triple Threat novels were intense, wait until you read this one! When one of the three ladies of the Triple Threat is killed, the other two search for her killer...only to become targets themselves! That's about all I'll say; I would rather not give away the plot of this apparent finale in the literary quadrilogy.
Content Concerns: At least one person is murdered, and at least one other is thought to have been killed. The descriptions of the crime scene(s) get quite lurid at times. The (female) detectives go to a strip club, but only to find clues. One character makes a mistake because she is drunk.
Score: 4.5/5

**Caution: SPOILERS AHEAD**
The conclusion of the Triple Threat series was a great read but was kind of predictable. It was another fast paced book that you didn't want to put down. It kept you guessing...literally because there is no chance of you guessing the killer because it's not a character you even know until he is revealed towards the end. The biggest plot twist for me was the second death that occurs in this book. After reading the description of this novel, I was prepared for one death, not two, so that was a good surprise.
Now for the parts that I didn't really enjoy. As I mentioned above, it was predictable. This meaning that Cassidy is the one who ends up dying. This didn't surprise me at all because throughout the entire series, she has been the black sheep of the group. The one who makes risky decisions and doesn't seem to have an internal alarm. She also has no attachments (Nic has Leif and Allison has her husband), so of course it makes sense to kill off the one who it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to get rid of. There isn't a lot of follow up required. Furthermore, I have a love hate relationship with the addition of Ophelia in this novel. On the one hand, I love her. She is quirky and funny and she is a cat person, just like me! However, I don't like that towards the end of the novel, even though Ophelia proclaims she doesn't want to replace Cassidy in the Triple Threat Club, the way things come full circle makes it seem like she is. And then that's how the novel ends. No follow up. No epilogue. Nothing. In my opinion, I didn't get closure from the ending but instead am left with more questions.

3.5 stars
I believe that this is the final book in the series and it packed a punch. One of the main characters is killed. In a way I was so shocked that the author decided to kill off a main character but it wasn't surprising which character was killed off.
This story didn't have quite the typical bad guy commits crime, police have an idea who did it and suspect arrested. This was more of a slow burn on finding out who killed one of the main characters. There is also another shocking death in the book which broke my heart as this person was trying to turn their life around and had been working hard on it for a year already.
A new character, Ophelia, was introduced in this book. She wasn't like your average person and her way of living was a bit different from an everyday life. She becomes close with the 2 remaining in the Triple Threat club, after helping them solve who did the killing. Part of me was happy that she played the role that she did at the end and the other part of me wasn't sure I liked the idea of already have the "space" filled in the trio.
Overall was another fast paced read. Quick and easy to get through and left me hanging just enough to constantly keep turning the pages. Enjoyable series.

Good clean suspense thriller (4 stars)
I haven't read the previous three Triple Threat stories by these authors, which describe three friends working together in the fight against crime: crime reporter Cassidy, FBI agent Nicole, and federal prosecutor Allison. But when one of the three gets murdered, it eventually becomes evident that the killer is on the hunt for the remaining two friends as well. Can the hunted become successful hunters and catch the murderer before it's too late?
This is an excellent suspense thriller, and while the Christian elements are very light, at least it doesn't feel like it's the painted-on or problematic theology that plagues a lot of Christian suspense fiction. There are some darker aspects described, e.g. a strip club, a gory murder scene, a stalker, sexual searches online; so it's really best suited to adults.
In the end it's mostly a fast-paced and clean page-turner, and a very good one at that. I'll be looking for more from these authors.

Well, this book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat! Lis Wiehl and April Henry did it again. I have had to read the Triple Threat novels out of order because of my public library not having them all at once, so I am fixing to begin reading the first of the four novels. Out of the three that I have finished, this is my favorite! There were many twists and turns that kept me coming back. I was excited to see that my wish of Allison getting pregnant again came true! I just desired that there be more of a story line on that, and the fact that Nicole got engaged last minute. I kept thinking that there was going to be a chapter that said "One Year Later," or something along those lines, that told about the two families and their new beginnings. That being said, this was still an amazing book. I totally recommend the four Triple Threat novels!

I'm still upset about the murder victims. It was unjust and senseless, which is how the real world often works. I'm not 100% okay with how the story unfolded but I've read more than enough books to know that the author has a reason for it. I might not be happy with how the ending came about; I'm actually fine with the ending. It almost feels like it came full circle. I do want more, even if it's just a short story about the anniversary of the deaths of the victims. I admire how this series was not set up to appear that ur was back to back events within days or weeks. It was spread out over a year and longer. The series explored some tough topics, as well as the effects of those.

Cassidy Ex Boyfriend was a cop, he changed he became controlling with well timed burst of violence, she went public about it. Now this caller is saying there is a cover up in the police department and will only talk to her because she was fair. Meeting has to be a private place, which was the wrong place.They want justice, and it turns out not to be an easy task. This last story is a more violent. The message is clear, each person is unique.

After getting past the devastation of losing one of the three principle characters in this series, you hold on for the ride, willing the other two of the trio to get to the bottom of this travesty and make sure justice prevails. A great thriller where author Wiehl does what few authors will do-kill one of her main characters, adding risk and realism to an already thrilling conclusion. A great read!

Another of Liz's Excellent, Clean, Thrillers, that made this reader finish it in one day. Starting, very sad, but the plot is much deeper than first expected, til it's apparent someone wants the Triple Threat Trio dead. Reader gets the idea, this book last of the series, but then a twist occurs.

Murder, threats, and mistaken identities! This book grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go. Tense and surprising, you never know what will happen next in the lives of the three “Triple Threat” friends. This is the first book I’ve read in the series, and it is very well done. Now I definitely want to read the others.

Christian fiction so has some god reference every chapter or so. Yeah, ok. The plot was good up until the last 1/3 of the book. There was so much filler and repeats that it took me completely out of the story. Made me disappointed in the book. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator, Devin O'Day was excellent.

I listened to this as an audiobook and actually ended up skipping two disks without missing much. There was too much information that didn't really apply to the story line. The story itself was just okay.

Enjoyed the first three books of the series enough to seek out this one (plus I had seen the teaser that one of the 3 main characters in the Triple Threat Club gets killed in this book, so naturally I was curious).

The Triple Threat become the Devastated Duo when a brutal murder takes one of their own.
Forbidden by their superiors from "interfering" in the investigation, the remaining two team up with a quirky PI to find the killer and get justice for their friend.

Great fast-paced action involving three close friends: a crime reporter, a federal prosecutor and an FBI agent. The crime reporter is murdered and the other two vow to find her killer only to realize the killer is out to get them too. You will have a hard time putting this book down.

Just okay. A little pathetic that the victims defied honoring their roles as prosecutor and FBI agent throughout the entire book until the final scene.

Good read

Whoa, what a way to end the Triple Threat! I came close to not reading, consequently. But it ended up being a really good read, a little sad but good! Perhaps, a redeeming end?! Time will tell...

This was a great ending to the Triple Threat novels. Especially towards the end, it was a real page turner!
