A woman is found murdered in Blackdown. News reporter Anna Andrews is bitter about being forced to cover the case; she'd much rather be sitting in the anchor's chair, a position (albeit, temporary) recently stolen from her.
Detective Jack Harper is wary of Anna's presence. They have a history...perhaps that is clouding his judgement. Yet the physical evidence can't deny it, until he too becomes a suspect. Secrets that have lain dormant for years are slowly rising to the surface, secrets that some would kill to keep.
This is most certainly going to be one of the top thrillers of the summer! The storyline, its execution, the characters, the narration, are all outstanding.
The narration is told in a he said/she said method, with three points of view. “His” is clearly Jack’s perspective, while “Hers” is Anna. The third is a complete unknown. All three narrators are unreliable, for each have personal gain in how the case transpires.
The potential suspects are numerous. Just when I thought I’d figured it all out something new was revealed, destroying any evidence I had of that individual’s guilt. Feeney is the queen of misdirection, making the impossible possible. Just thinking about what was involved in crafting this masterpiece, sorting through the suspects and storylines and secrets. It just makes my head spin, but in the best of ways.
A truly well developed and brilliantly plotted title. I can’t wait to read more from this author!
