Many thanks to the author and Author Marketing Experts for the ARC of this book!
We are back with Kyra and Tarek! For his birthday, she surprises him with a meet and greet with his favorite true crime podcast hosts. They are on the island investigating a cold case, and Kyra and Tarek get to tag along! The case? 40 years ago at a performing arts camp, a little girl is murdered and another little girl disappears. The case was closed so quickly and the police seemed to have messed the case up. The podcasters don’t seem as into the case as they ought to be. Then they disappear and in order to find them, Kyra and Tarek begin to investigate the cold case. Someone doesn’t want the case investigated, and when Tarek goes off island, he finds himself in danger.
Whew! This is by far my favorite installment in this series thus far! I used to listen to true crime podcasts all the time, so that aspect of the book really drew me in. I *thought* that this was going to go one way when I saw the podcasters introduced. But this book took a turn that I just didn’t see coming! Really, it took a bunch of turns that I didn’t see coming.
I love how smart and experienced Kyra is. A former lawyer and now journalist, Kyra is essential to solving the crimes. Reading her mind at work and piecing things together is utter perfection. I think Tarek would agree with me!
This is full of action and suspense. It felt like you didn’t know what was going to come around the corner and you had to prepare yourself for it. Otherwise, something was going to jump out at you and you were going to get scared. The author’s writing just flows so effortlessly and this story is really fast paced.
It really seems like each book is better and better. If this is any indication of what is to come, I’m really excited. Thriller readers, get your hands on this book now! You won’t regret it!
