This is book 2 in the Regan Merritt series by Allison Brennan. While the main mystery stands well on its own - Regan, some of her backstory, and some secondary characters are introduced in The Sorority Murder and these are best enjoyed in order.
Another great addition to the series. This one starts out fast paced and Brennan keeps it going with a great mix of interesting characters, mystery, and suspense. I love Regan as a lead. Skilled and competent yet also human and flawed.
I also enjoy that there are chapters from several other characters and especially some antagonists. It helps bring the suspense to a higher level when I know the danger a protagonist isn’t aware of yet. Brennan does hold some things back so there’s still a lot to be uncovered - and this one spreads far and wide.
This ends with a turning point in Regan’s life and I’m really looking forward to what direction Brennan takes her in the future.
Narration:
I originally found Brennan’s writing through my love of Amy McFadden’s narration. McFadden continues to be an excellent choice for female centric mystery & suspense series. As always, she’s talented at bringing all the secondary characters to life - even the bad guys who she makes particularly creepy - as well as all the emotions and drama. Loved listening.

I never read book one, so am solely basing my review off of this book. However, after reading this one I do plan to read the first.
This book is full of action, twists, and trying to figure out why some murders have occurred. It begins with Tommy, who was investigating Regan’s son’s murder. What he discovered had him killed, but just what was it? This causes Regan and Charlie to follow his steps and try to find out just how everything is connected, based off the limited information they can find, and what a wild ride!
This would make an excellent tv series or movie. It is well-written and really takes you on the journey of investigation and how deep cases can really go. I will definitely be looking into reading other Allison Brennan books.

Don’t get me wrong- this was a good book. It was just honestly hard for me to read because I guess I just don’t care for the genre anymore.
It had everything in it, that you would love to read if you like the genre, I guess it’s just not my thing anymore.

intense and invigorating, would like to see more out of these stories even though I hadn’t expected more than a one and done- not a fan of grants dynamic and there are loose ends that I can’t tell if are purposeful or not
