Having read the author’s first two novels, I knew to expect a gripping ride, expert character development, and a protagonist to die for. What I couldn’t have predicted was just how unpredictable the crescendo would be… Always the First to Die is the twistiest, most irresistible whodunnit I’ve read. The revelatory references to some of my favorite horror movies and psychological thrillers were the cherry on top. Hoping for more from this compelling author!
