I found Claire to be a strong and intriguing character to watch as the story unfolds. They have little in common, yet Claire goes to work, determined to discover who is behind these murders.
Bound naked to a cheap motel room bed, heads covered in a plastic bag, and ashes sprinkled over their bodies. When Detective Claire Calderwood is called to assist Camden’s PD in the investigation of a horrific and grisly teenage murder, she doesn’t expect to have a serial killer on her hands. This eARC was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am eagerly looking forward to Poirier's next novel, and to see her continued development as a mystery author. The character development was strong, and there were enough twists and turns to keep me thoroughly engaged. This was a really fast-paced and interesting read. Is he trying to hide something from her? And if so, can Claire continue to trust him to help her target the killer before he can kill again? Soon thereafter, a second body is found, and it appears that the killings may be the work of a serial killer.Īs Claire works frantically to unearth the perpetrator before he strikes again, she also struggles with her relationship with Noah. As Claire becomes embroiled in the case, relying on her reporter boyfriend to help support her, it becomes clear that Noah might be hiding a mystery of his own. Claire is instantly catapulted back to the past, and to the murder of her sister years ago. It's clear that this killer is trying to send a message with his victim. A young woman is found tied up and covered with ashes. The story begins with a body discovered in a motel.
While I thought her first novel was a solid read, it was clear that her writing skills were on point with her second Claire Calderwood story. However, this was NOT the case with Dea Poirier's latest thriller. Sophomore efforts are often a bust when it comes to mystery novels.
