Dead Man's List by Karen Rose

BOOK BLURB

On a long-anticipated second date with police psychologist Dr. Sam Reeves—right as things are getting steamy—Kit stumbles across the mutilated body of a local San Diego politician. The man was loved by many of his constituents but is hated and reviled by many more. That the suspect list is long surprises no one, but exactly who ends up on it stuns Kit and her team.

As the SDPD reveal the victim’s sinister dealings, Kit and Sam are forced to navigate the closely guarded world of the city’s richest and most powerful citizens to find answers. But time is rapidly running out, with their sources of information dropping like flies as the killer methodically eliminates loose ends—and anyone else who stands in the way.

MY REVIEW

Kit and Sam are on a date when they stumble across the dead body of a local politician. Kit is a detective and Sam is a police psychologist. This investigation takes them into the world of some of San Diego’s most powerful citizens.

Dead Man’s List is the third book in the San Diego Case Files series, and the thirty-first book in the Romantic Suspense series by Karen Rose. While Dead Man’s List can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the first two books, Cold Blooded Liar and Cheater, before this one.

Well-developed and interesting characters. Dead Man’s List is a fast-paced and intriguing thriller.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
