I once heard that the difference between a connoiseur of fine wine and a drunk is that the connoiseur takes the bottle out of the brown paper bag. I am not a connoiseur of anything, let alone mysteries and thrillers, but Hand of Fate is both, and it lived up to its promise as a page-turner. I was sorry to come to the end of the book, and as soon as I finished reading it, I wanted to start over. I also wanted to read its predecessor, Face of Betrayal, the first of the Triple Threat Novels. Now, I'm nearing the end of that book, as well, and can't wait for the next one.
Reading Hand of Fate prior to reading Face of Betrayal could have left me handicapped in terms of getting to know the main characters. That was not the case, as they were well introduced and developed. The Triple Threat Club consists of Allison, a federal prosecutor; Nicole, an FBI special agent; and Cassidy, a crime reporter for Channel 4 news; all live in Portland, OR. The three women knew each other, somewhat, in high school, but not until they encountered each other through their respective careers did they begin to form a real friendship. Now, because they complement each other in solving crimes, they have dubbed themselves "The Triple Threat."
How the three women piece together exactly what happened, learn what actually killed Jim Fate and caused serious panic in the city, and find the true identity of the killer makes Hand of Fate so hard to put down. How each of them also confronts her personal issues, and how they all eventually share with each other their personal strengths and weaknesses make it a wonderful story of hope and the freedom found in facing the truth.
A Christian thread runs through the novel, primarily in the characters of Allison and her husband Marshall. I like the way Allison's faith is treated: She is never pushy, never sanctimonious, but never afraid to express her faith.
The end of the book held a couple of surprises. Author Lis Wiehl included copies of a few of the notes she received from friends in the news media, e.g., Bill O'Rielly and Mark Levin, among others. To my pleasure, the authors have also provided a number of questions as a guide for reading groups.
If you enjoy mysteries and thrillers at all, and especially if you are a re-reader, buy the book. It's well worth the money.

Summary of Hand of Fate (Triple Threat Series #2)
When the host of a popular radio talk show is murdered, the suspects almost outnumber his millions of listeners.
Outspoken radio talk show host Jim Fate dies tragically when poisonous gas fills the studio while his polarizing show, "The Hand of Fate," is on air.
In the ensuing panic, police evacuate downtown Portland--and the triple threat of FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, crime reporter Cassidy Shaw and Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce begin piecing together the madness, motive, and the mystery of what just happened. And this time it's personal since one of the women was secretly dating the host and has access to his home...as well as possible evidence.
In the days following Fate's murder, these three colleagues and friends must confront a betrayal within the team while unearthing the not-so-public life of Jim Fate. Together, they must uncover the stunning truth of who killed him, how close the killer really is, and the twisted motive for this cold-blooded murder.
