Brianna nails it front and center with this fascinating thriller!
If you want edge of your seat action you've come to the right place. My word, where do I even begin...Give me a sec!
Ok, after pausing to catch my breath we'll begin with the fact that this has it all. Murder, mystery, suspense, and dare I might add a bit of psychological suspense -if there's even such a thing!
Brianna is no stranger to my repertoire. In fact, I was over the moon with her 1st of this series, "A Familiar Sight" back in January of last year. See blog here: https://thesecretbooksleuth.blogspot.com/search?q=a+familiar+sight
However, she upped the game on me and is playing hard ball with an amazing set of characters and a plot that thickens quicker than my grandma's gravy.
Gives knew meaning to the phrase, "Not everything is as it seems."
Look fans of Brianna know what to expect. You know that train wreck is barreling down at you. You know there's a blizzard of fury, flight and fight, and hell-throw in plenty of investigative chatter.
It all begins with Dr. Gretchen White (Criminologist) and Lauren Marconi (Detective) and this big news of Lauren's arrest for murder.
Wait...What?
How the heck can someone with so much experience be arrested? Nope, not happening on Gretchen's watch.
So, when they say, "Don't investigate" they know the trail is getting hotter. Why on Earth would so many people remain silent?
Sometime many eyes are needed to solve such cases and so bring on Lachlan Gibbs (Internal Affairs and B.F. of Lauren) to sweeten the pot.
Lauren's future is on the line here. There's plenty of noise surrounding this case. Many hidden secrets. Speaking of hidden there's a husband and wife that might also be on the line. Martha Hayes- Girl, you are quite something.
Speaking of this murder scene it has be pondering the meaning of a true 'Serial Killer' and could a killer such as this kill one of their own?
I'm probably not the smartest cookie on the block but we have to look at this progression and realize that the plot is getting juicier by the minute.
Wait, remember the other old saying...Hindsight is 20-20...and a dissociative disorder may be to blame but so too is the nature -nurture theory because some indidviduals aren't born but made from their familial circumstances.
Remember the BTK killer and his daughter. She swore he treated her with kid gloves. He was a great father to her. Makes one wonder doesn't it.
Well, "you can't run forever" and perhaps escaping might be the only way but what about obscuring evidence, what about admitting truths, and for god's sake what about new identities. I'll close on this quote, " Why chase normalcy when there were so many fun things out there she had yet to try?"
Bring me this meal ticket any day of the week. This was pure excitement! Thank you to Brianna Labuskes, Netgalley, and Thomas & Mercer for another wonderful thriller!
