4.5 Stars

I received a copy of this book on Story Origin for an honest review. I'm leaving my thoughts on this book voluntarily.

The book is about a police officer investigating the disappearance of her sister. I love the world-building, for it's set in a fictional third world country. I love how Zane uncovers the layers upon layers of corruption. I love how the author did a great job talking about what women in third-world countries go through. I live in one myself, and I work closely with sex workers and women in the lower layers of society. Zane is a great character, love her!

I recommend this book and wouldn't mind reading a part two.

Don't Find Me was an edge of your seat mystery novella. This book kept me continuously guessing, and continuously guessing wrong! And I'm usually a pretty good guesser. I loved the characters. They all had so much personality for such a short book. And the sisters, you learned a good little bit of their backgrounds. So interesting! If a second book comes out, I hope to learn more. And the ending was mind-blowing for me. I wanted to scream when you found out the big reveal at the end. Crazy! The flow of the book was great. It was easy to read, easy to invasion. It was definitely well worth the read! I most defiantly recommend this one. And its not too graphic or anything. Yes, it talks about trafficking but she doesn't go into crazy details. I most defiantly recommend this one.

“Don’t Find Me” is an awesome book! How I love reading novels that impact me and stay in my mind for a long time. This story grabs you from the beginning and from there you can't put the book down until you reach the end of the mystery.

We will accompany Detective Zane and all the secrets she hides, a story full of twists, how each situation fits and surprises you. the characters transmitted everything, the state of paranoia, the uncertainty of not knowing what is happening, who is behind all this, distrust, accusation and more.

The author's pen is sublime, which makes reading very enjoyable and easy to follow. The characters are built to perfection, very well defined and taken care of down to the smallest detail.

Highly recommended for lovers of mystery novels.

This was a really enjoyable book. I'm not a big reader but my wife asked me to read this with her. I figured I needed the brownie points. I really enjoyed reading this one, although she did most of the reading while I listened. It wasn't too long but it had a great plot. I was afraid I'd get bored and wouldn't be able to focus. But this was easy to listen to. And the ending was insane. If I need more brownie points, hopefully, there is a book two.
