This is a wonderfully written story. It is a slow building plot that will your attention to the end as the killer is revealed. This book has many twists and turns with a fantastic surpise ending.
Recluse Rachel finds a dead body on her property. There starts an edge of your seat thriller. Full of suspense, terror, and a little bit of romance. I absolutely loved this book and look forward to reading more by this author.
I absolutely loved this book! I had not read anything by this author but I will be checking out her other books. The writing was crisp without extra detail that often weighs a story down. The characters dealt with complex issues without those issues overwhelming the story. Rachel’s father was a serial killer who was outed by her mother. After losing her mother, Rachel changed her name and has been trying to live off the grid…until a body is left on her property…with a note. Someone has decided to disrupt her life and Sheriff Seth Talbot will investigate the case as well as Rachel’s past. Seth is a former New York City detective who has returned to his hometown. He knows that Rachel is not guilty, but can he keep her safe? I liked the fact that the author shows us who the killer is midway through the story rather than the very end so that you are aware of the killer’s motive while he plans his crimes. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
This might be my favorite book of Dianne McCartney’s. Kept me on the edge of my seat and I had to force myself to stop reading and go to bed. As with all of her books, this one had a kick-ass female lead that I absolutely loved.
