Oh my gosh where do I begin?
We had rival journalists with history, a friendship trio that had a toxic element to it, confusion, and more twists than a rollercoaster!
I could hardly keep up with the plot twists, but they worked so well, just when you thought you had it figured out, a twist would take you in a completely different direction and then just as you were getting comfy, nope, twist again. It kept the story going and the pages kept turning. I read this in a weekend.
We meet the lead character Kelli, a journalist who once worked for the nationals and is now freelance, who caught a serial killer a while back. She's been visiting him in prison keen to keep her name in the spotlight by writing a book all about the murders he committed. They develop an "understanding".
Meanwhile, near to where she lives bodies turn up and she's using her journalistic nose to try and crack the case - albeit whilst fighting off her ex colleague who is an annoying pain in her neck. However it gets far too close to home.
The method of killing, the location, the timing, the weapon, it's all starting to freak Kelly out and she even thinks maybe she's the killer. Or is she just fascinated with what would drive someone to murder?
Her friends are...well, one in particular is going through a tough time, abusive, and her own past keeps coming back to haunt her in more ways than one.
I didn't see it coming. It shocked me. And the absolute ending, that kept me reading to the very last page was utterly brilliant. I can still imagine Kelli screaming now.
❤️❤️❤️
