What Remains

3.5 AVERAGE


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨


When cold case detective Elise Sutton enters the department store on a whim to buy pink towels for her daughters, she has no idea what chaos her future holds.

One man is about to shoot another, so she decides to make the choice to take one life. To save the other.⁣

She is an expert at solving the most complicated of crimes, and intuition tells her there’s something off about the man she saves. And then he begins to stalk her, and she must use everything she’s every learned about getting into his mind before he harms those closest to her.⁣

I am obsessed.

From the first page until the last page this book kept me on the edge of my seat. So well written and the twists are believable. We live in a scary world full of scary people and this book brings so much honesty to the bad things people do every day and tells the story of how a few people see what is happening and work to put an end to it. I really loved every character even the bad guys. Can't wait to read more by this author.

I received this book through a Goodreads Giveaway. I was totally enthralled by this story. Usually I am frustrated by a character, especially a cop, trying to handle a situation on their own, but it totally worked here. The author did a fabulous job of making Elise's motivations both believable and necessary. I am looking forward to reading more from this author and hope Elise and Rowan get their own series.
