An Explosive Ending

Haunting Avery Winters #7

by Dionne Lister

When a fellow journalist—a good friend of Avery’s boss—and his wife are blown to smithereens, it’s up to Avery to solve the crime.

All is going well as Avery and the team celebrate their journalism prizes at a party at Julian’s place. But the festivities explode in a shower of glass and twisted metal when Julian’s mentor’s car blows up with him and his wife inside it.

Bellamy and the police have a huge job ahead with limited clues and many suspects. This close to Christmas, they’re flat out as it is, so it’s up to Avery to help—luckily she has the assistance of the murdered man himself, Morris. Add to that the discovery that Everly’s killer is at it again, and Everly is ready to spill on who it is.
Avery is scrambling, with more balls in the air than a street performer.

Despite promising her friends she’ll stay out of trouble, Avery is drawn to it. Her undercover operation for Bellamy goes horribly wrong and leaves her fighting for survival.

Is this finally the case that sees Avery joining her friends on the other side? And if Avery isn’t around to bring Everly’s killer to justice, who will?

Absolutely loved this book. Avery gets into more strife but manages to survive it all.

Best one yet

Hurry up Ms. Lister, can't wait for the next installment. This has been my favourite so far & loved the addition of Zeus.

OMG!

Dang! What an action packed, tear jerker this was! And I loved every minute of it!
The tile says it; An Explosive Ending, but dang, I don't want these books to end!
I thoroughly enjoy Avery and her unique gift. Also love her crazy friendships.
Here's hoping Ms. Lister will continue Avery's adventures.

Easily devoured

I need more. So much was wrapped up but I need to know what's next for Avery (and Finn). Definitely read this series. If it's not on your to be read pile, put it there immediately
