Review

Let me start by saying, I have not read any books in this series. This is book 5. After reading this book…I want to go read the rest of the series!! Margot has an interesting back ground and I want to know more of it!

Detective Margot Phalen has spent over a year hunting San Francisco’s most elusive predator—the Redwood Killer, who leaves his victims alongside the scenic trails of Muir Woods. Each murdered woman connects to the city’s most powerful families—and the corruption leads straight to Margot’s own police department.

I enjoyed the intensity and the dynamics of the characters. Margot is definitely a fascinating woman and her interactions just made her so much more intriguing.

And the hunt for this killer!! It leaves the reader with questions at every turn.

The narrator, Lauryn Allman, is very good! She added to the intensity of the story and that is always a plus in my book.

Need a good hunt for a killer…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!
