Since Hank, his partner and steadying influence, was stuck at home with the flu, Detective Alex Johnson had to fly solo while investigating the murder suspect at the Mulberry Court mansion.  Did the widow residing there kill her latest lover?  It’s his job to find out.  After meeting Pandora Willmington, Alex struggles between what his gut tells him is the truth and the desire and protective instincts that Pandora arouses in him…is he destined to become the next victim of the Black Widow?

Come Into My Parlor is a book that will have you thinking ahead and trying to guess the ending.  I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that it isn’t going to happen.  No matter how you think this story might end, you’re wrong!  Adrianna Dare is on my must-read list and has definitely outdone herself with this intriguing story that has a very film noir feeling to it.   While she always guarantees a hot, exciting read, Come Into My Parlor was exceptional.  I can’t remember any other time that I was left wanting more…

Warning: Come Into My Parlor does not necessarily have a happily ever after ending.
