I loved this book!

This is the first I have read in the Madison Knight series, but I definitely want to read more!

I was very, very cautious about reading this book. I was worried it would trigger my anxiety and I had heard that it was a tear jerker so I was very worried about reading it.

I am happy to report that there was only one spot that made me tear up (and if it doesn’t make you tear up, I have to question your humanity) and it did not trigger my anxiety.

It was a wonderfully twisted mystery that led the detectives (and me) on a wild goose chase. (Thank goodness it was eventually all laid out because I didn’t figure it out and was still confused when the Detectives figured it out!)

I have read one previous book by this author and I am a huge fan. She writes excellent, accurate stories and I cannot wait to read more!

ABOUT THE DETECTIVE MADISON KNIGHT SERIES

Murder. Investigation. The pursuit of justice. Do you love trying to figure out whodunit? How about investigating alongside police detectives from the crime scene to the forensics lab and everywhere in between? Do you love a strong female lead? Then I invite you to meet Detective Madison Knight as she solves murders with her male partner, utilizing good old-fashioned investigative work aided by modern technology.

This is the perfect book series for fans of Law & Order, CSI, Blue Bloods, Rizzoli & Isles, Women’s Murder Club, and Hawaii Five-O.
