Hidden Agenda by Lisa Harris

Lisa Harris is the author of over twenty novels, the winner of multiple awards including both the Christy Award and Best Inspirational Suspense Novel for 2011 from Romantic Times. Somehow, this is the first of her novels that I have read. Romantic/Suspense is not my go to genre, but I was intrigued by the author and wanted to give one of her novels a go.



Hidden Agenda, the final installment of Lisa Harris' Southern Crimes Trilogy, begins with high-stakes and never lets up. It reads like a movie I would watch with my husband ... and there aren't many that we both like. We usually agree on action flicks with enough suspense for him and enough drama for me. Hidden Agenda would make a great date night for us.

Overall, I enjoyed Hidden Agenda, even if it is a departure from my regular reading, and I look forward to reading more from Lisa Harris in the future.

• The romance is clean and believable. That ranks high with me.
• The mystery carries the story to the end and concludes in a satisfying manner.  In other words, no lose ends ... I hate those.
• The spiritual journey of the main characters is true to life, and that makes or breaks Christian fiction for me. I was not disappointed.

Hidden Agenda is a stand alone novel, however characters from the previous two books and their continuing story are incorporated in this novel. Those who prefer no spoilers may want to begin with the first books of the trilogy--Dangerous Passage and Fatal Exchange.


I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for an honest review. The opinions stated are my own.
