"What Remains" by Wendy Walker blew me away with an incredible array of sights, sounds, and action that intensified with each turn of the page.
What I thought would be a simple shot in the dark, turned into a whole slew of things, that escalated into rapid fire shots that could be heard far beyond the original location of the shooting.
In fact, there's so much to tell about this that I can't simpy do it justice by a mere book review.
Wendy Walker is the author of this amazing new read for 2023!
She brings us characters like Detective Elise Sutton who is the gal to beat in more ways than one. We also explore the minds of the insane with Wade Austin and those responsible or irreresponsible for their actions like Clay and Billy.
You either love 'em or hate 'em but either way someone will win and someone will lose.
Pick your battles here as we find that to save a life you may have to take one away.
Wade almost seemed likeable but came on to quick and too aggressive and in the end he wasn't all he was cracked up to be. He begins this awful nightmare for Elise and family and it's a fight or flight scenario right up till the end.
You know I tell it like I see it but this one was not a book you could simply invest and walk away. Oh, hell NO!! Once you start it's like the Pringles chips ... You ain't stoppin.'
Now, mind you while all this is going on after a deadly shooting we also have a situation with the marriage and the other victims.
Everything is piling up and there's not end in sight.
Now, Elise may not be fearing one life lost but possibly more...
A 'Kill Room' is in play with another assault and some stalking so squeamish folks may want out but this isn't too hard to manage for thrillers.
The thrill is in the chase! You bet your duppa on that one!
Thank you to Wendy Walker, Blackstone Publishing, Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
