Title: Every Breath You Take (A Kristen Conner Mystery #2)Author: M. K. GilroyPages: 365Year: 2012Publisher: Worthy PublishingIn this second book of the Kristen Conner series, Kristen returns from a temporary leave of absence spent in an FBI training center. She arrives in Chicago expecting a little love and recognition from her co-workers and boss for a job well done when she singlehandedly took down a serial killer. She barely receives acknowledgement that she is back. She is immediately plunged into another high profile murder case. A billionaire’s eldest son is brutally murdered with a hammer to the head several times. What soon comes to light is a high end prostitution service exclusively for the rich. The madam in charge of the escort service is a suspect for the murder, but events unfold that change that. As part of the investigation, Kristen infiltrates the escort service as one of the escorts.As the investigation proceeds, Kristen’s personal life takes an upturn. She is still coaching her niece’s soccer team, her older sister is about to have a baby any day, her younger sister may have a new job and an FBI agent she went out with a couple of times during her last case gets in contact with her and they begin to date when he is in Chicago as he currently lives in Washington, D.C. Kristen keeps going over the case in her head and gets an idea. When she goes to check it out, she stumbles upon something she never expected.This is another great suspense/mystery book! Kristen’s feisty personality, wit and grit are evident and I really liked that. She is tough physically and can hold her own in hand-to-hand fights. She lives her faith, loves her family and serves the public to the best of her ability. My next book to read and review here will be the third in the series, Cold as Ice, which I can’t wait to dig into! I sure hope there are many more Kristen Conner books from the pen of this talented author. Don’t miss this series!My rating is 5 stars out of 5.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog.

Being a graduate student at Liberty University and earning two masters degrees (Counseling &. Pastoral Care). I completely appreciate an author who writes as a Christian man and can relate parts of his book to parables from the Bible! There is no need for foul language or brutality to make the story interesting and relatable. I listened to both Det. Connor books and cannot wait for the next one! Brilliant characters and suspense-filled throughout!! Thank you for that! Yours in Christ, Melissa A Kocsis, MA

The eldest son of a Chicago billionaire is murdered and the only clue lead to an exclusive dating service.
For me too much description of Connor's workouts and fighting strategy.

Chicago P.D. detective, Kristen Connor, is back in M. K. Gilroy’s second novel, Every Breath You Take. This time Kristen is working undercover as a paid date to discover who killed the son of an uber-wealthy Chicago businessman. Once again Kristen’s dedication and intuition solve the case. This book is a great read for those who like police procedurals and a tough and funny protagonist.Kristen has just returned to Chicago after a summer of rehab and training with the FBI. Her love life is in question and she is glad to be back in Chicago where the familiarity of family and work keep her head in the game. Her first day plunges her into a new investigation where she must go undercover, this time as a high priced call girl. Kristen is not a girly-girl and her experiences in this new undercover job are hysterical. But of course Kristen will get her man.I really love the characters created by M. K. Gilroy. Kristen Connor is by far the most fun and interesting, but her family and co-workers, including her fashionista partner, give a depth to this plot-driven series. Kristen’s love life is again a story line, but the murder investigation really takes center stage. And this book is a clean read — no worries about profanity or sex. So, if you like a quick-paced mystery, great characters and a story that keeps you guessing, then definitely check out Every Breath You Take.Gilroy is working on book 3 in the series; I can’t wait!Recommended.

Kristen Conner is one of the youngest detectives on the Chicago police force, and just recently returned to duty after recuperating from injuries sustained while taking down a serial killer. When a high profile murder occurs the same day she returns to the force, she steps up to the plate. Even when her duty includes her going undercover as a high priced cake girl, Kristen works the murder investigation. This is the second M.K. Gilroy/ Kristen Conner novel that I have read and enjoyed. Kristen is a complicated character, who second guesses her actions on the job and with her family, but not enough to change her ways. In this novel, she picks up a long distance FBI love interest that broadens the storyline. Kristen and her family are Christians, and they live their faith, though Kristen stumbles enough that she definitely feels human, and her efforts to grow are enjoyable. The murder mystery keeps you guessing until almost the very end, with great descriptions of fight scenes that keep the action hopping. I stayed so involved that I lost a little sleep when I did not read the end during my normal hours. I recommend this to readers who enjoy clean detective mysteries with lots of secondary storylines that add interest. Received Galley from NetGalley.com.
