An engaging read with 2 different plots which intertwined towards the end ... Difficult to put down once you start reading especially if you are a fan of action, crime and mystery...

I must get myself and my daughter out of this awful situation. We deserve better than this. I did not murder my best friend. I must get out of here so I can figure out what happened and why I am to blame. Several lives collide in the most weird yet interesting way. The story build up was engulfing and the ending was quick.

A gripping story.... this book is very hard to put down once you start.

A far fetched story with a ridiculous resolution, but still an entertaining commute/beach read.

Good solid story
I have read many KG books & really loved all of them. Malicious Pursuit is one of my favorites, though. The story starts with a bang and zoom! We're off to the races with a very exciting story with a he'll of slot of action and some very sweet romance. Also, some LOL , spit your coffee out, dialogue! love this book. Do yourself a favor - own a copy😉

On the edge of my seat...I didn't want to put it down...but life interfered and I had no choice, but it wasn't down for long.
A great read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Ruth's situation...Spencer's mess...plausible...

This my favorite book from this author. I’ve read almost all of the books she’s ever written. I wish she wrote more thrillers like this. Strong characters, logical situations, down to earth, every day issues.
