Sorry this book was not my cup of tea. I DNF at 1/3 of the way through. I think it was all the gratuitous sex talk thrown in. Distracting from the story
Anything for You is a super who-done-it thriller that weavers together past present and future in an unforgettable murder mystery. As the story unwinds, there are many surprises, twists and turns that make this an enjoyable read. This heart pounding novel was so captivating, so detailed and intense with strong and intriguing characters that I couldn’t put it down. I absolutely loved and highly recommend it. My thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Dark and with a pounding suspense heartbeat, this thriller shines with wonderfully realized characters and a relentless heartbeat. It's impossible to see where it's headed and it delivers all the surprises it promises.
The story begins with the murder of a prominent attorney - Adam Grant. His wife is also harmed in the incident, but she is able to call 911. Detective Valerie Hart is on the case. Valerie is back with her husband, Nick., and her personal life and professional life are not totally meshing at the time. Nick is wanting to try for a baby and Valerie is (in her mind) not quite as certain as is Nick.
Careless, the murderer leaves his DNA all over the scene. He is Dwight Jenner, who was released from prison after 6 years and has been on "the straight and narrow" according to his parole officer and half brother, Kyle. (Hmmm.. do we see sparks between Valerie and Kyle?) At Dwight's place of work, they say he was going out with a gorgeous blonde (Sophia) who made Dwight VERY happy. When Dwight does not return to work after his 6 day break - his employers become concerned.
Then the police go on an all out search for Dwight and the elusive Sophia....
A superb story with great character definition and plotline. Just when you think you have it "all figured out" there is a twist. This book has MANY twists.
This is definitely a MUST READ!
Many Thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for a superb read!
The link from past to present to future can vary from from a fine line to a solid cord, but when it is shattered by a murder, tying the loose ends together becomes an impossible task. Enter homicide detective Valerie Hart whose job it is to figure out “whodunit?” Mix in her own history and the task makes for a great read.
Prosecutor Adam Grant was well-known to members of the San Francisco police department and his murder and the attack on his wife have left the department reeling. Homicide detective Valerie Hart knew Grant a little better than most of her colleagues, and while she wants his killer caught, the perp he put behind bars that’s being fingered seems a little too convenient. Valerie’s search for the truth points in a very different direction, one that will cast long shadows over Grant….and Valerie. Black knows his police procedure, he gets all the details right and spins a twisted tale of revenge and jealousy
