NO ESCAPE by Mary Burton. This book was well written and filled with suspense and mystery. It did take me a bit to warm up to Jo but I liked Brody from the start. Ms. Burton certainly keeps her reader engaged with some thrilling scenes and hold your breath scares. I have not read the previous books but found I had no trouble keeping up with this one. (Received ARC from NetGalley for honest review)

The last couple of days I ended up heading to Auckland for a concert and took the bus which means of course, I ended up having time to relax and read on the journey I know it sounds weird haha, but I relaxed by reading a murder mystery about being buried alive which I have to admit besides being burned alive, would be one of the worst ways to go. In this book, we first met our characters ten years prior and a serial killer named Harvey is trying to teach his son Robbie how to be a man with his first kill. At this moment, Harvey also mentions a bit about his daughter who we haven't met, and how she would love the bluebonnet fields. The next thing we know is that Harvey Day Smith ends up arrested and Robbie off in the wind. The book then jumps to the present time where Harvey is dying and on his deathbed has promised an interview with the Texas Ranger Brody Winchester and psychologist Dr. Jolene Granger. For the pair, they haven't seen each other in fourteen years - the last time was when they signed their divorce papers. Now they are back face2face and in the presence of a serial killer and his apprentice. However, for Jolene, this isn't just any usual serial killer as she will learn he has a connection to her family which will leave Jolene questioning her life and choices. This was a fun read with mysteries, murder, and being buried alive and it won't just be family secrets being unearthed in No Escape by Mary Burton.
