Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this story! I love Lisa Jewell and when I saw the synopsis I knew I wanted to pick it up.
I’ve been over the big superheroes of late so to focus on one who’s more of a more gritty and somewhat normal personal investigator I found compelling.
The mash up of Lisa Jewell with Jessica Jones was *chef’s kiss* such a good match. I felt drawn to Jessica’s story because of the build up Lisa Jewell provided. I even started a few episodes of the Jessica Jones TV show just so I had more context for the story.
The mystery aspect of the story was dark and woven well where I didn’t feel in a terrible hurry for the answers because I was enjoying Jessica’s story. (Once again, props to Lisa Jewell for that.)
I’d recommend this story to any Lisa Jewell fans, any gritty detective readers, and or Marvel gurus.
Jessica Jones’ messed up corner of the Marvel universe happens to be one of my favorites (ahem, Daredevil fan here) and I’m glad for an excuse to get back into it.
