Don’t Look Now by Mary Burton
Dark, gritty, intense, and compelling – this book had my interest from page one and held it till the very end.
What I liked:
* Jordan Poe: homicide detective, big sister, took on responsibility for her sister when their mother died, dealt with family addiction issues, capable, intelligent, respected, professional, workaholic, interesting.
* Carters Spencer: Texas Ranger, experienced serial killer sleuth, bright, dedicated, widow, capable, professional, intelligent, intriguing, good friend.
* Avery: Jordan’s sister, addiction issues, working to stay sober, loves her sister, survivor.
* The plot and writing
* The police procedural aspects
* That there were believable red herrings
* That the serial killer was not revealed too soon (although I do read the end of books before I get to the end as I need to know what happens)
* The camaraderie of the team working the case
* Wondering if this is a standalone story or perhaps the introduction to a series
* Hoping that I will get to see what happens later in the lives of the main characters
* That everything was tied up at the end – no real loose ends
What I didn’t like:
* Knowing that there are people in the world as bad as the ones in this story
* Not finding out the full backstory of the serial killer – although – nothing would validate or explain the crimes committed
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC – This is my honest review.
