What Remains by Wendy Walker
3.5-4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wendy Walker's newest book tells the story of Elise Sutton, a cold case detective from a small town. Elise was in a local department store when a shooter entered the store and she made the choice to save countless lives by taking his. As she works to find a new normal and battles her PTSD from the event, the thought of a survivor in the building has not left her memory. When Elise meets Wade Austin, she had a sense of comfort and closeness being able to talk about the event but that quickly dissipated as she began to know him and he revealed the danger he’d been hiding.

What Remains is well written and a solid read! I enjoy a suspense/psychological thriller and I liked this because of the subtle hints that guided the reader through the twists in the book (yet you still feel surprised!!)

Thank you to Netgalley and Blackstone publishing for allowing me to read an advanced reader's copy of this book! Thank you to Wendy Walker for writing another great book!

Trigger warnings- gun violence in a public place, assault, PTSD/mental health, drug use

DID NOT FINISH: 15%

I dont normally read thrillers and my life is too stressful right now to finish it. I do look forward to jumping back in at a later date because what I read was very well written and had a cool story telling set up.
adventurous dark mysterious slow-paced

Good police procedural. Did not love the ending. confusing
slow-paced

Yeah, I’m confused. This book wasn’t thrilling or mysterious at all. The first chapter did a great job hooking me in but then fell completely flat. It was so boring. It took me a whole week even with audio to finish a 244 page book. Nah, highly don’t recommend.
