I am thrilled to be on the tour for this read.
What is it about?
Detective Elise King’s investigation into a woman’s murder is getting derailed by a reporter who insists on doing her own investigation in this nail-biting mystery from the author of Local Gone Missing.
When Karen Simmons is murdered on Valentine’s Day, Detective Elise King wonders if she was killed by a man she met online. Karen was all over the dating apps, leading some townspeople to blame her for her own death, while others band together to protest society’s violence against women. Into the divide comes Kiki Nunn, whose aggressive newsgathering once again antagonizes Elise.
A single mother of a young daughter, Kiki is struggling to make a living in the diminished news landscape. Getting a scoop in the Simmons murder would do a lot for her career, and she’s willing to go up against not just Elise but the killer himself to do it.
Bobs and Books honest review:
This was very much a slow burn and I was itching for it to get moving. The second half was much pacier than the first and that kept me on my toes.
A good weave in on the subject of dating and the world of online dating at that too. I liked Kiki the determined journo, and this had some strong female leads who carried the plot well.
A good twisty plot with a few surprises along the way.
Out now.
