EVERY SMALL TOWN HAS A SECRET
The
rolling fields outside Curry, Oklahoma, are a beautiful spot to ramble on an
early spring day . . . and a lonely place to die. Among the prairie grass and
wildflowers, a killer kneels beside a curled-up figure, plunging a syringe beneath
skin to deliver the fatal dose. And as the victim’s last breath mingles with
the air, it sends a warning out to the world: This is just the beginning.
AND THIS ONE
Rejecting
her judge father’s prestigious connections, Ellie Guthrie opened her own law
firm in Curry. But something strange is going on. Ellie’s tires are slashed.
Dead rats are dumped on her patio. Her neighbor, former FBI agent Nate Marcel,
insists on watching out for her. And then bodies begin turning up—supposed
overdoses that Nate suspects are something much more sinister.
IS WORTH KILLING FOR
There’s
a killer in town, toying with her, drawing both Ellie and Nate into a web of
murder and vengeance. To find answers, she’ll have to unearth this small
community’s dark and twisted past . . . before it’s her turn to die.
MY REVIEW
The
mystery in this book is intriguing and it has some twists and turns you won't
see coming.
The
pace itself was a little slow. Not much really happened and when it did, it was
brief and, in my opinion, downplayed. There was not much of the angst and dread
I was expecting.
I
did enjoy the relationship between Ellie and Nate. Nate was super sweet and at
the same time manly and protective. I loved the way he slowly seduced Ellie to
his way of thinking.
Ellie
is strong and independent. She does not want anyone to tell her what to do.
With Nate, she keeps her strength and independence but, she gives her trust,
which is saying a lot for a girl like Ellie.
Overall,
this was an enjoyable read but I wanted so much to feel the mounting tension.
Instead it left me feeling a little nonplussed.
I
received an ARC via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
