Any additional comments?
It’s obvious to me that Leslie Wolfe loves to research for her novels, as she puts so many interesting snippets in her books; I feel as if I learn something with each of her books that I read. This book is gripping and intense, and I wanted to speed through it to the end to see if I was right about who the unsub was. I had an inkling, and she hits it out of the park again with this book. There are 2 reasons why this book is a 4 star read instead of a 5 star read, and neither should keep anyone from picking up a copy. First, sometimes the explanations get a bit tedious; if you’ve seen an episode of Criminal Minds, CSI, or read any police procedural, you don’t need things dumbed down or explained in explicit detail. There has to be a fine line between talking above your reader’s heads and dumbing things down too much (or explaining too much, if that’s a real thing?), but in a few cases in this book, it comes across as the latter. The second criticism I have for this book, is that the ending, or the big reveal is a bit too short for my taste. It’s quite a bit better than Dawn Girl, but I still like a bit more bulk to my reveal and climax after all that buildup than just a couple minute’s worth; it almost seems like a letdown or a gimme. Otherwise, there isn’t much to criticize, and I think that Leslie is a great up-and-coming voice in crime fiction; I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading her last couple novels. They’re creepy, suspenseful, and highly entertaining, while still being realistic and well-thought out.

I was gifted an audiobook copy in exchange for an honest review, so I can’t comment on any spelling/grammar issues in the book. The narrator, Andrew Tell is a professional narrator, but I think he could do a bit better in differentiating between characters in dialogue, as there are a few times where it got a bit confusing as to whom was speaking. Otherwise, this was a high quality, professional recording, and I didn’t hear any production/quality issues. This was an enjoyable listen and I couldn’t wait to listen more; I wasn’t just listening on my daily drives as usual, I was listening while cooking, cleaning, and walking my dogs! Thanks to the author, Leslie Wolfe, for the Audible code in exchange for this review.
