Dead Woman Walking by Diana Corbitt
medium-paced
4.0
Dead Woman Walking is the first in the Izzy Santos Mysteries. We are introduced to Officer Santos as she responds to a minor call. She is then assigned to assist Detective Fulton as he is home sick. Things quickly escalate from a missing person, to a disappearance, to something else entirely.
I really enjoyed following Izzy as she navigates being thrown into an acting detective's role. She is thorough, and asks a lot of questions, even some that are a bit out there. I have always enjoyed police procedurals and Izzy kept things interesting. The only thing that bugged me was that sometimes her comments felt a little young for the situation or wasn't what I would expect a cop to say.
The mystery, and the twist at the end, was great. Tia Maggie is a very fun addition to the story and easily my favorite character. I like the aspect she brings to the story and how it all ties together. I'm hoping to see more of her in the other installments.
Overall, a good read and one I recommend. This has cozy mystery vibes as well so perfect for fans of that genre. I sincerely appreciate the author for the review copy. These opinions are strictly my own.
