"exciting romantic suspense"
In Beverly Hills, Jill Sands is considered the best
matchmaker at Exclusively Ivana where she helps set up
marriages for life. However, Jill becomes shook up when
the police visit her to question her on what she knows
about a former client, Lisa Donnelly. Apparently, Lisa's
husband, a US senator running for president, reported her
missing. Jill offers nothing to the two detectives
questioning her. Jill feels guilty over her silence because Lisa's father,
former South Viet Nam General Nguyen Tai Tong, asked for
her help. When Jill learns that Lisa died in what appeared
to be an accident, she has doubts. Jill turns to Detective
Tony Rosetti with her theory even though he attempts to
steal her file or silence the matchmaker in order to keep
her out of danger. As he tries to keep her safe, Tony and
Jill fall in love in spite of her professional expertise
saying they are incompatico. THE MATCHMAKER is an exciting romantic suspense work that
starts a bit slow, but once the plot picks up steam it
never slows down. Jill is an intrepid heroine who always
tries to do the right thing whether it is in her work or
her personal life. She is an idealist so why she would
ever stay with her boyfriend Brent (pre Tony) who thinks
nothing of deserting her at night in an isolated cabin in
Big Sur seems strange. Tony has demons of his own so that
the permanency of anything with Jill remains in doubt
though he loves her. Susan Furman provides readers with a
spellbinding tale that never slows down until Lisa's death
is resolved. Harriet Klausner
