Case In Truth by Emily Camp, Emily Camp

5.0

Zoe and Chase were inseparable growing up until one day – out of the blue - Chase stopped talking to Zoe. This broke Zoe’s heart because she had started to develop a huge crush on Chase and even after he acted like she didn’t exist those feelings never went away. Zoe’s mom was the housekeeper for Chase’s wealthy family and had been for a long time. When Zoe’s mom was diagnosed with cancer and started chemo, Zoe would pick up the shifts her mom was too sick to take. She figured that, because of this, Chase saw her as beneath him and cut all ties with her.

After not having spoken much in almost 7 years, one day on her way home from work she is pulled into a bush where she finds Chase shaking with fear and covered in blood. There has been a murder and Chase is the prime suspect. With Zoe’s obsession with true crime, she agrees to help Chase find the killer and clear his name. After all, her feelings for Chase were still there and only grew stronger the more they were together. Zoe starts to dig deep and doesn’t realize she is not only putting herself in danger but her family as well. Will this killer stop at nothing to keep from being caught? Will Zoe become the next victim?

This book pulled me in almost from the start. I literally could not put it down! The characters are very likable and the relationships they have with one another are very relatable. Each chapter is written in a way that you will keep saying “just one more chapter”. The ending was definitely not what I had expected. If you like a good edge of your seat mystery/whodunit with a little romance mixed in, then this book is perfect for you. Highly recommend this one!!
