Dangerous Illusions (Code of Honor #1) - Irene Hannon (DTB)

This is the first book in a series about three friends who have known each other since they were kids.  The other two titles are Hidden Peril and Dark Ambitions.  I've read a few of Hannon's books in the past, but I didn't specifically seek this one out.  I'm in charge of the library at my church, and it had been a while since I'd sifted through the donations.  We're having company for the holidays, so I thought it would be a good idea to clean up a bit.  This was one of the donations, and I decided to read it.

Trish has had her share of tragedy, but when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, she wonders if it's her fault.  Colin is on the case, and he thinks there's more to the case than meets the eye and wants to clear Trish's name.  It doesn't take long for the danger to increase, and time is running out for Colin to solve the mystery. 

Hannon has a good writing style that I enjoyed.  I liked this book, and I'm curious about the rest of the Treehouse Gang.  The second book is about Kristen, and I liked her character.  Kristen wasn't in it that much, so I'm thinking you might be able to read these out of order.  It gives me the impression that it's one of those series where you can read it out of order, but you get more out of it reading them in order.  I plan on tracking this author and see what happens.  Good Book!
