Deadly Assets

Deadly Assets is the 2nd book in Allison Campbell Series. The author excels at writing thrillers that are well grounded in real
life situations. You will never get the feeling that her tales are completely fictional, and you might even be frightened while reading her books because many of her characters might be the people you know very well. she also populates her books with different characters for example Allison, Allison’s former mother-in-law Mia, who’s dating Christopher Vaughn who is Allison’s assistant in her image consulting company, and his computer mastermind brother who happens to be quadriplegic – these are only a few. This makes you to believe that the novel takes place in the modern version of Pennsylvania.

Two clients of Allison’s First Impressions image consulting firm have gone missing while on a trip with Vaughn who is Allison’s business manager. Although there is no way that it could be associated with Allison and her firm, it happened on their watch and it’ll cause great trouble for Vaughn if they are not found.

nothing in common. Allison Campbell, Vaughn and Mia, begin searching for the two women but the path gets more dim and dangerous as they continue with the search. There are shady family secrets, mob connections, mysterious private investigators and connections back to Italy.

The two novels, particularly Deadly Assets, are very well plotted. Although it is true that you might be able to solve each character before Allison did, it is only because as a readers you get a bigger picture than she does as a character. Nevertheless, you won’t be disappointed by any of the twists or turns that take place in the book.

Whereas Killer Image incorporated the mandatory 1st -novel-in-a-series description of character backstory, Deadly Assets mainly on the existing story. However, this does not make the second novel hard to follow, since there was adequate backstory about each recurrent character. Actually, the book can be easily read as a separate novel without feeling as if anything is missing. Nevertheless, reading the novels in the correct order will increase your enjoyment.
