BOOK BLURB
When Karen Simmons is murdered on Valentine’s Day, Detective Elise King wonders if she was killed by a man she met online. Karen was all over the dating apps, leading some townspeople to blame her for her own death, while others band together to protest society’s violence against women. Into the divide comes Kiki Nunn, whose aggressive newsgathering once again antagonizes Elise.
A single mother of a young daughter, Kiki is struggling to make a living in the diminished news landscape. Getting a scoop in the Simmons murder would do a lot for her career, and she’s willing to go up against not just Elise but the killer himself to do it.
MY REVIEW
Elise is a detective working the case of a murdered woman. A determined reporter is also wanting to find the killer.
Talking to Strangers is a slow burning mystery. Told with well-developed characters and a compelling atmosphere. This is a complex and clever murder mystery.
I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
