Many thanks to Kelly and Love Books Tours for my spot on this Blog Tour.
For me, this was a different read, most unexpected as the protagonist Kay was neither a cop or a detective. She worked in a PR firm and a body floating in a canal thrust her into memories of the past where she knew the victim but could tell no one. She monitored the investigation from the sidelines giving me the story from her POV.
My first book by author Helen Trevorrow, quite a clever bit of writing, I would say. I was pushed into the deep end and had to swim with the main character to understand her past and get to the present. Kay was complexed, who muddled through her relationships, yet was committed to her job.
The writing caused the suspense to ebb and flow as I became quite eager to know how Kay was connected to victim. I was shocked, to say the least. I wouldn’t say I liked any of the characters, but they all played their parts to make the story exciting. Kay especially tried to right the wrong in ways possible, some parts were quite chilling.
I liked how the author explored the dark side of life with her writing. Quite an unexpected read.
I received a free ARC from NetGalley and publisher, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!! STRICTLY HONEST AND UNBIASED.

Thanx- pass my name along.
Will do
you always read my type of books lmao suspenseful and dramatic love it
This was quite different. I am choosing only suspense nowadays
This sounds like such a good read – I like that the main character isn’t a detective as it makes a change in this genre of book.
Exactly Hayley… Quite a different way this mystery got solved..
Definitely does sound different having to follow the investigation from the POV of a character who isn’t directly involved in the case. I really like the sound of this one. Great review!
Thank you so much ❤️ it was quite different
