Description

The murder of a local celebrity in a rural Tennessee field. It was the perfect hit, or so the killer thought. However, Kasey Riteman saw it all, hidden just a few feet away, frozen in fear. Despite being flat broke and hounded by a decade of bad choices, she is determined to bring justice to the the woman she saw murdered. To this end, Kasey devises a “foolproof” scheme to help the cops find the killer without becoming involved herself. What Kasey cannot know is that she has just sought help from the very men responsible for the woman's assassination.

This story captivated from page one. The accidental, almost serendipitous series of events that placed the heroine in exactly the wrong place and wrong time sets in motion a series of bad buys, good guys, not sure guys and the usual double dealing and violence.

The interesting aspect is the main character and her character. She is deep and articulate, sensitive and caring. She seems simultaneously sweet wise and delicate, knowing and naive. In trying to do the right thing for the murdered woman and not quailing before the inevitable chase by the bad guys who want to shut her up. Or the cop who is good or bad guy? The back and forth is both interesting and nervewracking as of course, we want to good guys to get away unscathed.
The expertise of the writer is clear here, and makes the story flow although the good guys and bad guys are pretty typical.

If you think YOU'VE had a bad day, just wait 'til you read what happens to Kasey... Then, re-evaluate YOUR day! This book has it all: Suspense, Surprises, Thrills, Chills, Murder and Mayhem... It's a full-out roller coaster ride from start to finish. And, this is one ride you're not going to want to get off of, until you know how it will end!

I loved the character of Kasey. She is vivid, complex, multi-faceted and very likeable. And it is easy to get on board with her wanting and trying to do the right thing. She just doesn't know she's brought her concerns to the wrong people! And now, she is in more danger than ever. Her luck is so rotten, you just want to pull her through the pages, give her a big hug and let her cry it out on your shoulder. Then, you want to give her the low-down on what you know but she doesn't, put her back into the pages and, better informed now, watch her go get justice for the voiceless.

This plot line was solidly written, quite intriguing and very interesting. This was what I call a "one sitter", because once you pick it up, you're not going to want to put it down or get up, until the last word on the last page has been absorbed.

*I received a complimentary ARC of this book from NetGalley & Claren Books in order to read and provide a voluntary, unbiased and honest review, should I choose to do so.

An already horrible day turns even worse when Kasey witnesses the execution murder of a beautiful woman named Donna Stanton.. Everyone believes Donna is on a beach somewhere enjoying life but Kasey knows different. How can she tell someone without getting involved and getting killed herself.
This book had me hooked from beginning to end. I had a hard time putting it down. A must read for people who enjoy page turners.
