The Wrong Woman
by Leanne Kale Sparks
Read this if…you like mysteries that have multiple storylines.
FBI Special Agent Kendall Beck is the sole survivor of a notorious serial killer known as “The Reaper.” While on the case investigating the disappearance of a little girl, Kendall’s roommate goes missing. Kendall teams up with another detective to find her friend, but when a body is discovered, Kendall starts to question how much she really knew about her roommate’s life. Meanwhile, it appears the Reaper has returned and he might have a special message just for Kendall.
I really wanted to like this book, but there was just too much going on. There were three major storylines and while they did all connect at the end, I felt like it was forced and didn’t make much sense to me. The little girl’s story was heartbreaking and I was invested in learning what happened to Kendall’s roommate. However, the serial killer plot was barely there and it didn’t add the suspense I was expecting. I am very skeptical about the serial killer’s identity. I see what the author was trying to do with connecting all the storylines, but it just didn’t work for me. The writing was strong otherwise and Kendall was a likable character, so I’m on the fence. Make sure you check out the trigger warnings for this one before reading.
