This one sucked me in, and I can’t wait for the author to write the next book in this series.
Notorious serial killer Benjamin Wayne Fisher promises to tell young detective Daniel Ellis where he hid the bodies… As long as Benjamin’s daughter, Reni Fisher, a former FBI profiler, comes along for the ride. Things don’t go as planned, and Reni has to decide whether or not she can help Daniel and confront her own demons.
Even figuring out the whodunnit part within the first quarter of the book, I still found Reni’s character compelling enough that I wanted to keep reading anyway. And while there was a cliffhanger — after all this is book one of a series — there was enough closure to not feel let down by the ending.
However, I do wish the author had done more with the unreliable narrator theme that she started the book with and then just dropped. I think expanding on that could have added a lot more to the background and the rest of the story.
Overall, though, a good start to a promising series.
