The Tangerine Killer
She escaped once. Swore nothing would make her go back. She was wrong.
There are some places you should never go back to. For private investigator Sam Weber, that place is Tangerine. The cop she killed in self-defense. The mother who tells everyone she’s dead. That past is buried nicely under years of denial and drinking.
But a body lies by the river. The friend Sam once called her sister. Bait designed to lure her back and plans set in motion to make sure she stays. Paired with the annoyingly handsome Detective Olin, together they’ll sift through her friend’s train wreck of a life. But digging into the past can be a dangerous thing and Sam would rather gouge her eyes out than examine her own. She’d rather just go home and forget about the death threats.
Only the Tangerine killer isn't going to let that happen. A severed finger in a pretty box says sorry for the explosion that nearly killed you. The corpse with the carving left on Sam’s bed, a taste of what’s to come. He plans to cut a dream catcher out of her skin and to stop him, she’ll finally have to face the real reason she got the hell out of Tangerine.

About the author
Claire Svendsen
50 books69 followersClaire Svendsen was born and raised in England, which means she talks with a vaguely cool accent and drinks a lot of hot tea. Obsessed with horses almost before she could walk, Claire spent her summers dragging the old family typewriter into the garden where she would write books about a rich family giving her a horse. Though she would like you to think they were the masterpieces of a young prodigy, the truth is they never went much further than the first chapter and were awful.
Claire likes to think she can write a lot better now. She also finds writing this biography about herself in the third person both weird and alluring all at the same time. Claire now lives in Florida because she doesn't like cold weather and when she's not busy writing, you can find her hanging at the barn with her thoroughbred Merlin.

I gave up with this at only 11%. It was a totally unbelievable story altogether.
She also spelt disdain as distain, wrote eels and not eel's, filet and not fillet and also had a very irritating habit of not using commas-"You don't own me Joe" or "It doesn't have to be like this Sam".
I didn't like the main female in it-Sam. Seems she wasn't happy unless she was boozing or having sex with strangers. Not my sort of person in the least. The fact she stifled a GIGGLE at her so-called best friend's funeral was pretty astounding, too !!
Then the local cop was all over her like a rash which just seemed inappropriate and not the way any self-respecting detective would behave, I don't believe.
