Overview

Review
Carolina McKay has returned to her home town after being shot on the job. She is hoping to just rebuild and return to her old self. But before she even has time to settle in, she discovers a young girl’s body in a ditch. Has the madman that terrorized her youth returned? Or is this a new copy cat killer?
Carolina is a bit of a mess. She is addicted to her pain medication, she is living in her van and she is just plain lost on what she wants to do next. She ends up helping the local sheriff, a family friend, with these murders. And yes, there is more than one. And it may cost her more than she knows!
This tale is a very good crime novel! It has everything, good characters and good intensity. I love the way this story moves! Talk about fast paced and keeps you guessing. It also deals with loss and growing old! Be careful, you might get a bit teary eyed at the end!
The narrator, Jess Combs, is not a southerner. This book is set West Virginia, close enough to pronounce kudzu in proper southern style. Not Quedzu. This is just minor, but I laughed every time this southern girl heard it. Other than that, she did a great job. I especially loved her as Carolina.
This is the first in a series and I am really looking forward to the next one.
Need a good thriller with an action packed ending…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
