BOOK SYNOPSIS:
I thought about Margaret Kincaid lying there in Central Park. A woman in the wrong place at the wrong time on a hot summer night. And now she was dead. It could have been me. It nearly was.
At thirty-six, Jessie Tucker is a well-respected crime reporter and even a local hero, after a brutal attack twelve years ago left her so broken that doctors said she’d never walk again. These days, she’s still got the scars but is back on her feet – determined to cover the cases other reporters can’t stomach.
But when Margaret Kincaid’s murder file lands on her desk, Jessie has to pause. She still has nightmares about her attack, and the details of Margaret’s case are too familiar. Night falling over the park, girl walking alone, and a stranger waiting in the trees ahead… just for her, or for an unlucky anyone? They might never know.
Then the police gun down their top suspect and it seems the mystery will die with him. But something tells Jessie that the police got it wrong: the real killer is still out there, poised to strike again. It’s up to Jessie to put together the pieces before he finds his next victim… but in the shadowy depths of Central Park will Jessie uncover far more than she bargained for?
REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts This is a new series about Jessie Tucker who is a crime reporter after being attacked years ago she wants to get justice for those that attack others. She clamps on to the murder file of Margaret Kincaid which has similar details to her own attack so she goes out on her own to find out what happened to Margaret.
I liked Jessie even though there are a few times I wanted to roll my eyes at her. And just like shows on tv somehow the copus can not solve it but a reporter can just doesn’t always work for me.
There are a few sex scenes that ar3e explicit and make me think they were thrown in for erotica value when it really wasn’t needed.
As with any first in a series there is a lot just to get to know the characters. I will give the next in the series to try to see if there is more depth to the story.
