Seeing Red by Susan Crandall
5.0
I really enjoyed Seeing Red by Susan Crandall.
A woman, Ellis Greene was the sole eye-witness to her cousin's vicious rape and eventual death fifteen years earlier. Nate Vance, once a suspect to the vicious crime left town after the rapist was convicted. Fifteen years later - the present, he comes back to Belle Island to see Ellis has grown into a strong and beautiful woman who needs his help. As Ellis and Nate try to beat the criminal at his game, they become closer than ever before. Shocking secrets begin to emerge from the past, leaving Ellis and Nate wondering what really happened on that night fifteen years earlier.
This was an amazing read, I was hooked from the beginning wondering what would happen and how everything would all play out. I was so sure I knew who the criminal was at the beginning, it seemed so obvious but as I read further my thoughts on who the criminal was changed and began to jump back and forth between two people. As in every good mystery the real criminal isn't who you'd expect at the beginning; this held true in this book. I was pretty surprised to see who it was near the end.
I really enjoyed the characters in this book. They all had their flaws, yet their flaws in some cases seemed to almost improve the plot.
This is the first book I've read by Crandall and I can't wait to read something else by her in the near future!
