An honest review thanks to NetGalley. This was a good book, the plot was great, the idea of small city detectives solving their first murder case. The long lost never forgotten love and the family dynamic was worth continuing reading for. The reason for not a higher review is the relationship between Lucy and Chance; I wanted to know more about their past and feelings. I felt as if I was being told about all of this lost love and not shown; I felt as if I missed out a lot with and found myself wanting more. It was a good mystery, and the secondary characters were worth the read.

I really enjoy reading Thrillers. There is something about the way they keep you guessing that I really enjoy. When I saw Lucy’s Chance by Jackie D available on NetGalley I couldn’t pass up the chance to read it.
I thought this book was great. I really enjoyed how the search for the serial killer was the main focus of the book. The way the relationship between Lucy and Erica was intertwined with the story of the missing women really made the story for me. Even though the women had a past they didn’t let it take away from trying to save the victim of the serial killer. I enjoyed how Lucy and Erica had a troubled past but still had a deep connection to one another. As everyone knows I always enjoy a story with a puppy in it and this book does not disappoint in that area. There are two cute little puppers to love.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the Mystery or Thriller genera.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

The romance/broken hearts relationship between Lucy and Erica was interesting and kept me reading, waiting for these two accomplished women to move beyond events in their past and acknowledge their mutual attraction in the present. I wished more time was spent explaining the reasons for their original breakup.These events shaped the women Lucy and Erica have become yet we only get hints at why Lucy did what she did.
Revealing the mind of the killer throughout the novel instead of holding back most of his motives until the final big reveal made this a weak thriller. I’m fine with hearing the voice of the serial killer. Many authors use this device to ramp up tension in a novel. Problem is, if your serial killer tells you every single thing he is thinking,planning and his motives behind his plans the thrill is not only gone, but eye rolling and obvious.
Jackie D is a fine storyteller. Lucy’s Chance may not be the best thriller I’ve read this year but the author’s talent at pulling emotions from her characters makes her books an automatic read for this reader.
