https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Crime Thriller / Police Procedural

Overall, this book was suspenseful, riveting, fast-paced, and thought-provoking. This is heartbreaking and tough to read at times and has many trigger warnings. However, it was also well-written, memorable, and thought-provoking.

This was my first novel by Sally Hepworth. This was well written but domestic thrillers might not be for me.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Alternative History with a Murder Mystery

Descriptive narrative
Suspenseful moments along with moments that seemed to drag
Twisty plot
Entertaining, but antagonist was too easy to identify

Donne | 63 comments This is another REALLY good thriller! For anyone who has ever read Anne Frasier (this is the third Frasier book I've read), Frasier comes up with some wild and crazy stories and plots. Frasier is a good writer and storyteller and I read this one in two sittings. This was more of the Frasier I have come to know and enjoy.

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 577 comments On the Edge (The Edge, #1) by Ilona Andrews On the Edge by Ilona Andrews

I've been on a long Ilona Andrews reading spell. I've
had to dig deep into their bookshelves to find more books. This is the beginning of The Edge series, and it had been published around the same time as their first Kate Daniels novel.
