Description

Three can keep a secret, but only if two are dead.

No one knows that better than Kaitlyn Ashe, who has been running from a childhood secret her whole life. Until now. Crowned the top-rated radio DJ in Philadelphia, she is finally ready to settle down with her fiancé and new friends who know nothing about her past. When a sudden flood of anonymous letters threatens her seemingly charmed life, she realizes that someone out there knows. But who? As the threatening letters escalate, Kaitlyn’s life spirals toward a reunion in the one place she’d hoped to never visit again: The Shallows. Isn’t her secret buried with the dead?

From the Philadelphia skyline to the rural suburbs of New Jersey, Dead Air weaves a suspenseful tale of past misdeeds and present malice as Kaitlyn plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with a mysterious killer who will stop at nothing to get revenge.

A Note From the Publisher

Michael Bradley was born and raised in New Jersey, a fact he hopes no one will hold against him. He spent eight years as a radio DJ “on the air” before realizing he needed a real job and
turned to IT.

Never one to waste an experience, he uses his familiarity with life on the radio for many of his suspense novels, among them his first, the supernatural thriller Sirens in the Night (2015), a “smart, terrifying, heartbreaking” and “compelling read,” and his third, the thriller Dead Air (2020), a “phenomenal read” that will “make you look over your shoulder the moment night falls.”

After reading what this book was about I knew I had to read it. It's very unique and I'd never heard of this author but I'll be reading any of his other work in the future because it was masterfully written. The characters were well written and the plot had me hooked. 5 stars!
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for a chance to read this!

This book captivated me from page one. I was sucked into the story and did not and could not put this book down. I mean who doesn't love a good mystery book about someone keeping secrets? The writing style was easy to digest and get along with. This book is a page turner for sure. The setting for the book was eerie and set the tone for the book. That ending was just wow. I loved Dead Air. A special thanks to CamCat Publishing and Netgalley.

An incredibly fast-paced, highly readable thriller withs loads of plot to unravel. Just when you think you get a handle on what's going on, another layer of the story is peeled away and you realize you have NO IDEA. The ending is rewarding, and you'll feel all the little threads Bradley dropped throughout the book finally come together. Absolutely would recommend for any thriller lover out there.

(Bonus, the main character is a radio DJ and it's super fun to glimpse a bit of the behind-the-scenes of what radio DJs do!)

What a absolutely amazing thriller. Captivating and fast moving from the start.. Kaitlyn Ashe is a local D J with a hidden past. When she starts to get anonymous letters from the shallows it is just the beginning. She moved and changed her name but someone is looking for her and is looking for revenge. One of the best thrillers I have read for a long time. Highly recommended.

To what extent would you go to protect urself and ur little secret? This is the plot of this mystery novel. I am not gonna tell more and ruin this book, but you won't be disappointed with this one. A brilliant page-turner, fast-paced thriller with roller-coaster twists that well-suit the plot. Well developed characters and unpredictable storyline. Definitely worth the read. Will lookout for more Michael Bradley's books.

Kaitlyn Ashe has everything she ever wanted. A blossoming career, a wonderful fiancé, good friends and her dream home. Unfortunately, Kaitlyn is hiding something from her past that threatens to destroy her newfound happiness. Kaitlyn is about to find out what is buried doesn’t always stay buried, especially when someone else doesn’t want it to.

This book is amazing. The author does an amazing job keeping you in the dark but giving you enough tidbits to keep you interested. It is fast paced, entertaining, and at times worthy of nail biting. It tests your morality and makes you wonder; hmmm would I have done that?
