See It End by Brianna Labuskes

challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Brianna Labuskes' "See It End" is a thrilling and enticing read. The central plot is around Detective Lauren Marconi's past, and the puzzle pieces of her sudden erratic behaviour and past conduct come together. This is the third book of the Dr Gretchen White series and qualifies as a standalone (this is my first book by the author). However, I strongly suggest that readers go back to books one and two to understand these remarkable and well-fleshed-out characters better. 

Dr Gretchen White is one of the best characters I have read. Most crime/suspense books follow the linear path of revealing one of their characters being a sociopath. But what happens if the tables are turned, and we have individuals who strives to make integral choices based on their coping mechanisms? Her brilliance, wit and sarcasm are unmatched, and her moments of doubt and frustration are well-written. The supporting characters and the list of suspects are carefully and cleverly woven into the plot, and the twists and turns are well-timed and genuinely shocking. 

Fans of psychology, mystery, thriller and the classic whodunit, please do not skip this one.
