4.0

The Tip Line feels like a stream of consciousness character study of a woman who embraces a misogynistic world with open arms. Her obsessive single-white-female style of crazy is ultimately what I love most about this story. 

I would caution potential readers that this is not a traditional thriller. It is slow paced and deeply psychological. It addresses priorities by showcasing a woman obsessed with finding a husband while she is neck deep in a murder case. She is not likable and the story is not “feel good”. I think it’s brilliant.
