2025 Update
Most of my comments still stand but this time around, Sam’s arrogance really grated on me, particularly how she treated persons of interest. Granted they were not always the nicest bunch but she needed to rise above it. My rating stands.

If I could give Marie Force's latest installment in the Fatal Series ten stars, I would do it in the wink of an eye. Fatal Fraud is definitely a riveting whodunit -- powerful, engrossing, packed with suspense. Readers can expect to find lots of her trademark sharp, sassy and witty dialog and the classic and much-loved funny banter between the Cappuano family and friends. Topping it off with a well-balanced addition of intimate moments shared between the Vice President and Mrs. Cappuano, this one

Lt. Sam Holland and her team are sent to investigate the murder of Ginny McLeod. Everyone knew Ginny. She has been in the papers lately after bilking twenty million dollars from her friends and family in a Ponzi scheme. Her husband and two children claim that they knew nothing about her schemes and didn’t know what happened to the money. They also have alibis for the time when Ginny was murdered. Everyone hated Ginny after she took their money. With so many suspects, Sam has the impossible job o

Same old, same old. Nothing changes, except for the mystery, which in this book was pretty good, what little page space Force allowed it between the rehash, angst etc, etc, etc. The victim is generally hated by everyone, and no one is sad she's dead. No one will admit to murdering her, but someone did.

Fatal Fraud
2 Stars
The murder of a wealthy investment broker in her own home poses a significant challenge to Lieutenant Sam Holland and her team, as the victim has recently been charged with defrauding dozens of people, including family members and friends. Everyone, it seems, wanted Virginia McLeod dead, but who actually killed her?
Series note: This is the final installment in the Fatal series and is immediately followed by the first book in the spin-off, First Family.

Re-listened April 2021 - thought I'd refresh myself on where everyone was at before I get into the "new" series. Been looking forward to how Sam, Nick and Co. tackle the (view spoiler)

Wow! I would've given this 3.5 stars if it wasn't because of that ending! I can't wait to see where MF goes with Nick, Sam and the kids. Good on her for taking back control of the future of the series.

FIVE INCREDIBLE STARS!
I love this series. I love every. single. page.
These books give me all the feels and this one didn't disappoint. MAJOR FEELS!
I had to wait a couple of days to start reading Fatal Fraud because I knew when I started, I wouldn't be able to put it down. I tried to wait until the weekend. I really did! But, the lure of Sam and Nick had me picking it up and reading through the night on a Thursday.
I'm so glad no one posted spoilers because the Epilogue had me shouting out HOL ...more

4.5 stars, raising to 5
This book had an intriguing list of suspects; a real plus is that more than one story arc reached a kind of stability (if not finality). The family did gel, which was a rewarding plus. There is one more
surprise by the end of the volume.
