Hide by Tracy Clark
4.0
Hide is a pleasant surprise! I didn't quite know what to expect from this first novel, but Tracy Clark delivers an engrossing story with complex characters and quite a bit of tension all around.
I really love the writing style here. Clark does a great job at introducing us to Foster, our main character, and the emotional struggles she' going through. There's this push and pull between what her complex emotions and the work she does; it's one of the points that makes her such a layered and relatable character.
For the mystery plot: it is a bit predictable due to the different perspectives. However, it's still quite a journey as the puzzle pieces slowly come together. It's very interesting to read about the investigative process and all of the partner dynamics and how that affects everyone's job.
I will say... the ending chapters and the resolution of the mystery is a little dramatic, personally, and rushed. Since so much of the novel is very down to earth, the sudden reaction from certain characters and how the climax happens are a bit disconnected from that. Still, the very final chapter is quite intriguing in terms of the possible consequences that can come from it.
I'll definitely be continuing the series!
