Got a message on my Kindle that I could read it for free if I started in the next 24 hours. The first few pages grabbed me so I kept on. Turned out to be a solid, if unexceptional little mystery. Almost immediately there are a lot of balls in the air—multiple mystery threads to be followed. The author does a good job keeping the story lines moving along and me moving from short chapter to short chapter. While reading I kept having the thought—maybe one more rewrite would have helped shore up the characterizations, fix some dialogue and add in some scenes that seemed to be missing. Later I realized the author had written nine books in this series in three years. Kinda shows. This is a good set up for the other books, some angsty character territory to mine but the tone and tenor of this one does not tell me they will be mined very deeply. For a book about detective work, not nearly as much of the story is detected as it is exposition dumped by suspects or suicide notes. And how many hired killers weapon of choice is to blunt object their victims. Speaks to me of possible job dissatisfaction. ( ) Martina is a widowed single parent struggling with alcoholism and the need to show the people that she works for that she can still do her job. It's the first book in a new series...but I understand that the character is built on another character in another series by this author. The characters were so flawed that it actually gave them creditability. The story was interesting and was built on a captivating idea. If you like stories that are filled with secrets, mystery, suspense, and danger then this will probably be something you would enjoy. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheMartina Monroe (1)
She's on her last chance. When the bodies start piling up, she'll need to save more than her job. Martina Monroe is a single bad day away from losing it all. Stuck catching insurance fraudsters and cheating spouses due to a DUI, the despondent PI yearns to return to more fulfilling gigs. So, when a prospective client asks for her by name to identify an unknown infant in a family photo, she leaps at the opportunity and travels to the one place she swore never to go: back home. As the pressure mounts and the temptation of booze calls like a siren, Martina digs into the mystery and discovers many of the threads have razor-sharp ends. And forced to partner with a resentful detective investigating a linked suspicious death, the haunted private eye unravels clues that delve deep into her past... and put her in a dark and dangerous corner. Can this gritty detective unlock the truth before she's drowned in a sea of secrets? What She Left is the page-turning first book in the Martina Monroe Private Investigator Series. If you like high-stakes games, jaw-dropping twists, and embattled seekers struggling to do right, then you'll love H.K. Christie's thrilling search for answers.
