Don't Open the Door
by Allison Brennan
This is book 2 in the Regan Merritt series by Allison Brennan. While the main mystery stands well on its own - Regan, some of her backstory, and some secondary characters are introduced in The Sorority Murder and these are best enjoyed in order.
Another great addition to the series. This one starts out fast paced and Brennan keeps it going with a great mix of interesting characters, mystery, and suspense. I love Regan as a lead. Skilled and competent yet also human and flawed.
I also enjoy that there are chapters from several other characters and especially some antagonists. It helps bring the suspense to a higher level when I know the danger a protagonist isn’t aware of yet. Brennan does hold some things back so there’s still a lot to be uncovered - and this one spreads far and wide.
This ends with a turning point in Regan’s life and I’m really looking forward to what direction Brennan takes her in the future.
Narration:
I originally found Brennan’s writing through my love of Amy McFadden’s narration. McFadden continues to be an excellent choice for female centric mystery & suspense series. As always, she’s talented at bringing all the secondary characters to life - even the bad guys who she makes particularly creepy - as well as all the emotions and drama. Loved listening.
