Dangerous Illusions: A Christian Suspense Thriller and Clean Christian Fiction Mystery

by Irene Hannon

A police detective investigating a tragic death and a grieving woman with apparent memory lapses face a deadly foe who will protect an evil secret at any cost.

Trish Bailey is on overload trying to deal with a demanding job, an ailing mother, and a healing heart. When a series of unsettling memory lapses leads to a tragic death—and puts Trish under police scrutiny—her world is once again thrown into turmoil.

Detective Colin Flynn isn’t certain what to think of the facts he uncovers during his investigation. Did Trish simply make a terrible mistake or is there more to the case than meets the eye? As he searches for answers, disturbing information begins to emerge—and if the forces at work are as evil as he suspects, the situation isn’t just dangerous . . . it’s deadly.

Reviews

[Tina Lowery]

Dangerous Illusions, written by Irene Hannon was chaotic, mystery-driven and chock-full of dangerous situations that were life altering. In a place where every life is important and means so much, Trish Bailey learns that she's burning the candle at both ends. After danger reaches her door, Colin Flynn steps up to help her during every step she has taken.

As secrets emerge, issues arise and an innocent lives have been taken, the emotions are evident. Hannon takes Dangerous Illusions through it's paces as more pieces of evidence turn up. Every page I turned reminded me of the skill and crafted excellence she employs. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and look forward to her next book!!
