Eye for Revenge

Interesting and intriguing mystery. Let me say I can't write paragraphs of reviews like the other posters. It kept my attention. I would recommend this book.

Eye for Revenge by Cheryl Bradshaw is a psychological thriller.

First, let me thank NetGalley,  Kobo Writing Life, and of course the author, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

My Synopsis:
Having just returned from a trip to Hawaii with her husband Marcus, Quinn Montgomery finds her world turned upside down. Her best friend is dead. How can this be? How can Evie be dead? Still reeling from this news, Marcus starts another fight about Quinn wanting to go back to work. It is more than Quinn can take, and she rushes out into the night and ends up crashing her car. When she awakes in the hospital, she knows it’s time to leave Marcus. She returns to her home town with her parents, and starts to deal with Evie’s death, which turns out to have been a murder, and her 4-year old son may have been a witness to it.

As Quinn re-acquaints herself with the town, and the people, she also meets up with Bo, her high-school sweetheart, who is now the detective looking into Evie’s death. Apparently his feelings have never changed, but Quinn is going to try and stay clear of him. There are too many hard feelings. But she does need his help, because she is determined to find out who murdered Evie.

As Quinn digs into the murder, and asks questions of anyone in her path, she puts her own life in jeopardy.

My Opinions:
I really enjoyed this book. I have not “yet” read anything else by this author, but I will. Her writing is clear, and the plot was good. I liked all of the characters, and they all had merit. Even Evie, although dead, had life in this book. I loved the relationship between Quinn and her sister, which seemed real to me.

For those that know me, I am not a romance reader, but I didn’t mind the attraction between Quinn and Bo. Overall, it was a fast read, and kept me interested from start to finish.

Luckily it was a Saturday so I could read the book in one take. It's not intolerable suspense, but an extremely well written story with twist and turns that make it impossible to predict anything. Excellent book!

Quinn Montgomery’s best friend, Evie, is dead. Murdered. In this small town, who could have wanted Evie dead? Did Evie’s four-year old son, Jacob, witness the murder? Jacob is not talking…not one word since his mother’s death. Can Quinn help Jacob and keep him safe? Quinn will try to assist the detective, her former boyfriend, Bo McAllister with the investigation even though he does not want her involved. She will put her own life at risk as she questions people in town trying to find evidence that the police may have overlooked. When they were young, Evie was the assertive one who took care of Quinn while Quinn was the shy one. Now the roles are reversed and Quinn is out for revenge and will do whatever is necessary to find her friend’s killer. Quinn is not sure of her feelings for Bo and whether she wants to get involved with him. He let her down before…or did he? I really enjoyed this mystery with a story that has that small-town flavor, suspense and interesting family dynamics. No serial killer here, just an entertaining and well-developed mystery. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
