Dressed in a sage green bridesmaid dress, and smiling for pictures, Holly is the happiest she’s ever been. Hours later, Holly is dead. People love to hate Holly Long. Smart, beautiful and a woman who men find it hard to say no to, she’s the town’s most gossiped about resident. Now Holly’s body lies in her hotel room, strangled at her best friend’s wedding party. And the gossip has stopped, … gossip has stopped, because nobody wants to look like they did it.
When police search Holly’s immaculate apartment, amongst her stylish furnishings and expensive jewellery, they discover a different side to Holly. Orderly and precise, she wasn’t the chaotic party girl everyone thought her to be. In fact, Holly was a planner, and her next plan was to come out and tell her biggest secret – something she had been hiding for months, something that had the potential to ruin the lives of more than one wedding guest.
There are plenty of people who might have wanted to kill Holly, but only one who has finally made good on their promise.

Holy hell this was a deep driven mystery read It was quite abit to grasp on. There were many clues among another when Gina Harte tried to figure out why anyone would want to kill Holly.
As I read, I was making mental notes in my head trying to crack this case. It was as if I were a detective too lol I love how graphic the murder scene was, it told how personal the murder wanted to be known and a pattern perhaps?
I loved how every character spoke a story of their own, it tells what kind of person they are/were. This was disturbing and creepy but not super heavy but enough to make you feel like “what the hell??” Not only was this about Holly but it was also reflecting on Gina Harte’s past which is very personal and deep… alot of forensic which I’m very deep into *fangirls* I got to say the murderer is very skillful…very tactful and smart in a psychological way. He knew what to do to make the cops go in all directions! I found the pace of the story slow, but it kept my attention so I didn’t mind it after awhile. I did find one character really annoying in a way but then I had sympathy for at the same time, Cass
This is book 6 in Detective Gina Harte series which I haven’t read any before this one but I hope to in the future.
Received this digtial arc from Netgalley and Bookouture for this for honest review!
It’s book 6 of the Gina Harte series, and the detective shows no signs of slowing down. She faces past traumas, deals with a problematic familial relationship, and investigates the crimes of a killer whose motivation seems very personal. The author creates dynamic scenes and realistic investigations. If you’ve read the previous books, you won’t be disappointed, as all of the trademarks are here. You can also read this one as a stand-alone. For a full review, please visit my blog at Fireflies and Free Kicks. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for a pre-release digital ARC of the book.
I love, love, love Carla Kovach’s Detective Gina Harte series. This is book #6 in the series and they just keep getting better and better. DI Gina Harte is supposed to be spending the week with her daughter Hannah and her granddaughter, Gracie, but her ex-lover DCI Chris Briggs calls her in to work on a murder case where bridesmaid Holly Long is murdered at the wedding reception of golden couple Ed and Kerry Powell. The story is full of twists and turns and just when I thought I had it figured out, I was wrong. Author Kovach does an excellent job writing police procedural books. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC of this thrilling book in exchange for an honest review. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
Love love love! This one kept me guessing up until the end! I have been so fortunate to have been able to read this entire series as advanced copies. I HIGHLY recommend this to all readers who love a good detective procedural with strong characters and great storylines. Well-written! Great character development! Strong writing from beginning to end.
Than you again #netgalley and #bookouture for another amazing eARC in this series.
