How It Happened

Michael Koryta

3.65 AVERAGE


Michael Koryta has been one of my favorite authors since I read So Cold the Water probably eight years ago. Every book since then has completely captivated me and been one of my favorites in their respective release years. This one is no different.

What IS different is that this is based on a true story (learn more here) and while this is not at all Jill Behrman's story, it's still very much a part of How it Happened. But so are two more universal things: the importance of journalism and the absolute horror of the drug epidemic (specifically opioids). 

There are a lot of moving parts to this story, but it all seems absolutely seamless and effortless. (I'm guessing that's the mark of a great author, right? It all seems easy?)

Highly recommended.

Sooo good!

How it Happened(Michael Kortya) came as a surprise in the mail! I wasn't expecting anything and had to furiously check my email for an answer. Finding my answer, I had won another giveaway on goodreads! Always join giveaways for things you like,guys. You lose 100% of the chances you don't take!
This was a mystery crime novel about your typical rogue FBI agent who lays his job and life on the line for a case they believe in. It was your typical run of the mill mystery novel you would want to binge while on the beach but not for really any other time. I urgently just wanted to reach the end but was always distracted by something and not able to.
To note, the cover is absolutely gorgeous and really made me look forward to reading this book. Thank you all for reading and see ya on the next page ;)
