Donlea, Charlie

An intricately plotted suspense novel for fans of Lisa Gardner, Karin Slaughter, and Stacy Willingham.

Recommended for public libraries.

For fans of medical suspense and forensic thrillers, especially those who like morgue scenes in television crime shows.

Debut author Donlea effectively uses alternating chapters to tell Kelsey's and Becca's stories while introducing enough potential perps to keep readers guessing throughout. The whodunit plot is so clever and compelling that readers will forgive the spots of unnecessary dialog and the frequent overwrought descriptions of the sun, sky, and other location elements. For fans of nonstop mysteries with a twist.
