Stranger in the Room by Amanda Kyle Williams
5.0
Ok..so I'm caught up with this series. Now what the hell am I going to read? Write fast Amanda Kyle Williams.
Keye Street is probably one of my all time favorite female characters in any book. I frigging want to be her. She is an recovering alcoholic, fired FBI profiler,Krispy Kreme do-nut eating, coffee swilling, "hot mess"...and I love her. She is full of snark and tough as nails. She doesn't of course see it that way.
And well...she drives this.
This book involves her cousin Miki a troubled drama queen who is trying to tell everyone that she is being stalked. At first no one takes her seriously because well...she is a dingbat. I know she is Keye's family but dang I never really liked her. So anyways, she calls Keye to help her out when she comes home and says she sees a man in her house. That's one part of the story.
The second story line going involves Rauser (Keye's boyfriend) tracking down a killer of a young teen-aged boy.
Then you have Keye hunting down what's going on in a northeast GA crematorium. Yes...that part is in GA's unsavory history.
This author blends the story-lines perfectly..she writes about Georgia so well that I fall in love with our state all over again each time I read one of these books.
As to why I gave this book the five star? Mrs. Mary Kate Stargell
Mary Kate gazed at Neil while he shoveled food in a way that made me uncomfortable. I entertained a vivid fantasy of her in a pointy witch's hat, cackling over a steaming pot of children.
I want more of these characters!!!
