Rating: 4.5 / 5 stars
This book constantly had me shouting clues!
I don't read murder mysteries , thrillers etc. because I just feel like they're so real! I don't watch the news often because I get anxious with all the negativity and it affects my mood and my day and I feel like reading such stuff (even fiction) is the same. I decided to give this one a go when I saw it on Netgalley, because on the cover it says the author is USA Today Bestselling Author, and I had to know if this was a good read. The description itself sounded scary to me just reading the word homicide made me want to back out, but since I'm making this review...I finished the book. and I ENJOYED IT! I constantly found myself blurting out clues to detective Devlin as I read through the different POVs! I constantly found myself gasping if the detectives found something new! I was also rooting for a Devlin & Falco love story .... hahaha (don't mind me).
I was in awe with how the author made such a twisted homicide case so flawless. I couldn't imagine it to happen in real life but yet everything felt so real. I love how the little details came together, how all the lies and secrets came out and connected with each other. I did have a hard time at first because the prologue explained nothing and I felt lost. I do prefer books that give you a clear picture of the characters and what is happening beforehand. I also got lost in some chapters where the POV changes and I have no idea who it is and I have to reread some parts again to get a clearer picture. The story is told mainly in Detective Devlin's POV, but since there were already other POV's in the story I would have loved to have detective Falco's side too , and maybe some other characters. (that I will not name, so now YOU have to read it!).
Overall, as someone who is not a reader of murder mysteries and thrillers, I highly recommend this book to anyone who does and is also starting out with this genre. Maybe if you are an avid reader of such genre, you might find this a little anti-climatic, since you yourself get clues/details that the detective's don't, due to the change in POV (the reason why I had to shout out words because Devlin needs to know!). It's my first time reading this author's work, and I just might pick one up from here soon!
Debra Webb will also release a second book in this Devlin & Falco Series on April 27, 2021, entitled "Gone Too Far".
