Concrete Evidence is another action-packed romantic suspense from DiAnn Mills. An approaching hurricane and doubts about a dam’s construction add to the urgency of solving the case. I loved that this book kept me on my reading toes! Recommended.
On the family’s Brazos River Ranch in Texas, Avery Elliott helps run her grandfather’s commercial construction business. Raised by Senator Elliott, Avery has never doubted her grandfather is the man of integrity and faith she’s always believed him to be . . . until the day she finds him standing with a gun over the body of a dead man. To make matters worse, Avery’s just discovered a billing discrepancy for materials supposedly purchased for construction of the Lago de Cobre Dam.
Desperate for answers, Avery contacts FBI Special Agent Marc Wilkins for help. As Marc works to identify the dead man Avery saw, threats toward Avery create a fresh sense of urgency to pinpoint why someone wants to silence her. With a hurricane approaching the Texas coast and the structural integrity of the Lago de Cobre Dam called into question, time is running out to get to the bottom of a sinister plot that could be endangering the lives of not only Avery and her loved ones but the entire community.

My Impressions:
Right from the start Concrete Evidence by DiAnn Mills grabbed my attention. Murders, bombings, and assassination attempts are just a few of the things keeping FBI agent Marc Wilkins busy. Avery Elliott, determined business woman and heir to her grandfather’s dynasty, is right in the midst of things too as she dodges a murderer’s attempts to keep her from uncovering the truth of the threats against her family. The case keeps the two (and the reader) on their toes. The family dynamics for both Marc and Avery are a big plus, giving this romantic suspense novel a thoughtful side. Forgiveness is a strong theme, and both main characters are called upon to put it into action. The suspense thread kept me guessing, and the romantic elements were naturally woven in. The two mains are definitely attracted to each other, but keep their heads in dangerous situations. Faith elements are also strong — more than one character learns what it means to trust God to take care of them.
A quick read, Concrete Evidence is perfect for a weekend road trip or staycation!
