Finally got around to reading "Whisper Of Warning", the second book by Laura Griffin involving the Glass sisters. Wasn't sure I wanted to read this because in the first book, "Thread Of Fear", Courtney Glass came off as a self-absorbed moocher who needed to grow the hell up. Well, guess what. She grew up. And she wasn't as bad/detestable as the first book set her up to be. In fact, I ended up really liking her, faults and all.The book starts off with a bang (literally)...Courtney's married ex-boyfriend supposedly sets up a meeting to meet her in a park. Only HE'S under the impression that SHE requested the meeting. When he gets in her car to talk, a masked gunman jumps in the backseat, places the gun in Courtney's hand and pulls the trigger, killing her ex. But when the masked man tries to turn the gun on Courtney, she maces him and miraculously escapes. As you can probably conclude, the rest of the book is about proving her innocence, which isn't easy given her troubled past and the preponderance of evidence. But luckily she has Will Hodges, the new homicide detective in town, on her side.Nice, juicy mystery and a pretty darn good romance. Four stars! For my second book in my Reading Through the RITAs adventure, I read Whisper of Warning by Laura Griffin. It was a romantic suspense novel that should have been a bit more engaging than it actually was. According to Amazon, it was reviewed highly, and it won the Romantic Suspense category of the RITAS. Yet, for some reason, I found my mind wandering each time I picked up the book. Perhaps the fault was mine. Too late, I realized that it was the second book of a trilogy, so I wasn't as invested in the characters. However, as I continued to read the book, my desire to learn more about the characters diminished. Other readers disagree with me, however; in this review, the reader obviously enjoyed the characters, and the continued storyline from Thread of Fear. It would also be interesting to hear from other readers who had enjoyed the book.
What do You think about Whisper Of Warning (2009)?
I really enjoy all of Ms. Griffin's books. It's romantic suspense at its best.

Great romantic suspense (and RITA award winner). Will definitely read more.

Thought this one was better than the first Glass Sisters book.
