Such a great story. I had to frequently remind myself this was a work of fiction. The writer made the story seem so real. I was also happy to learn another Margot and Wes story is on the way. I’ll definitely be looking for other books by this author.
Side note: there is a grammatical error in Chapter 24. One of my pet peeves.
Engaging and solid take on a popular trope - pulls you in with strong characters, real situations, and a perfect balance between past/present - investigation/human interaction. Fans of good mystery, police procedural with strong female lead, diverse and interesting investigative team - and a bit of fun flirting added in - will want to read this one!
This is a grim book.There’s not really anything happy that happens in the book. It’s a police procedural series. Margot is a very interesting main character. Her past follows her everywhere. The storyline is intriguing. It’s a cleverly written book. I enjoyed reading this book a lot. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Twenty years ago Ed Finch, America’s most notorious serial killer used the Bay Area as his hunting ground. Now, his daughter Margot is a homicide detective with the San Francisco Police Department who has spent her whole life trying to forget who she is! This book follows Margot as she's on the hunt for a new serial killer that reminds her of her father! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, mystery, murder, serial killers, a great who done it and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
As this is the first book in a series, it does a good job of setting out the main characters. Margot, as the daughter of a serial killer, is a complex character and one that will be worth following. Her police partner, Wes, has potential. Their main case was tricky, with layers of hidden clues. As Margot's father dangles the carrot of further reveals about his murders, Margot faces the burden of closure for the families victims versus her own need for sanity. A solid start to what should be an intriguing series. Of interest was the delving into what drove Ed to do what he did, which makes for uncomfortable but necessary reading for the whole story to emerge. I was a little bemused by the other murder case of the two women that didn’t seem to have an ending, but assume it will continue into the next book, which I am looking forward to. Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an ARC to read and review, and to give my opinion on.
