I highly recommend reading this book! It was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story was very interesting and captivating. I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened next

This was an enjoyable read that had me on the edge of my seat and my heart in my mouth. it was compelling, twisty and unpredictable. A great read.

I love a good pi mystery. There were so many good aspects to this book. I am really hoping there is more books to come with these characters.

Great story. I loved the premise of it. The author created a great cast of characters. The main character Maddie was easy to relate to.

Readers, find some quiet alone time to settle in with this one because you won't stop reading until you've turned the final page. Highly recommended to fans of mysteries, suspense and thrillers.

Buried in the Attic is a PI mystery and psychological thriller by Ellen Shapiro. Released 22 Sept 2022, it's 354 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free.

This is a new character, in a presumably new series. The author is quite adept at character development and protagonist PI Maggie Landon is tough and intelligent, but also relatable and compassionate. When she's approached by a young adoptee, Maddie decides to help. She's an adoptee herself, and agrees to take the case which is anything other than straightforward.

The plot arc is controlled and well measured; there's a distinctly thriller-ish vibe in many places. The characterizations are believable (in some cases all-too-sadly-realistic)

Four stars. Engaging and satisfying read.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

This was a decent book. I loved the twists and it was fast paced and easy to read. Thank you netgalley for making this book available to read.

This is a really good whodunit book. Had a little bit of everything, and the characters were very compelling. Just went a little slow for me, but other than that great book.

Set in New York City, the main character, former police officer Maddie Landon, gets more than she bargains for when sixteen-year-old Samantha Bennett hires her to locate her birth parents. What starts as a seemingly straightforward investigation takes a sharp turn as Samantha's adopted father vehemently opposes the quest, hinting at hidden truths that could shake the foundation of their family. This is a thrilling exploration of identity, family, and the consequences of buried secrets.

Thank you to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and author Ellen Shapiro for the opportunity to review the advance copy of this book.

I did read the books out of order but didn't seem to make a difference except in her personal life story. Maddie is asked to look into the parents of an adopted teenager. There is not much to go on since the adoption was private so all information was sealed. It was a lot of work to get very little information. But was that ending a twist or what!! I liked the story.
