Hi there!

A Master Storyteller!

Detective Millicent Harvey is back and finds herself involved with the apparent suicide of a young teen, possibly for online bullying. But the evidence doesn’t sit well with Millie and when she finds a police officer doing everything to stop her involvement, it only spurs her on. With a multitude of suspects, no one is safe until the last few pages as one twist after another has the reader doubting themselves as to who the real villain truly is.

An exciting mystery that has the pages tumbling to the tragic end.

Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

Senseless Murder . . .

NYPD Detective Millicent Harvey is on vacation when a 14-year-old teen, Elsa Butler dies as a result of an apparent suicide. The girl had been the target of a cruel bunch of girls who severely bullied her. But Millicent is suspicious, especially when the police try to thwart her efforts at looking into this.

The characters are realistic and believable. The tension mounts as the danger feels like it physically surrounds the reader. When the killer turns toward Millicent, can she solve the crime before she actually becomes the next victim? Will she discover who did this and what reason there could be to target a shy young teen?

This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable.

A supposed suicide of a young school girl and a detective not supposed to work case. How she realizes a lot of clues are being overlooked and how she just can't leave it. The book has you totally guessing for the whole time. The perpetrator is a total surprise. This author has a way with words and plots. Love her books. Would highly recommend you read book.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

While on vacation, Detective Millicent Harvey gets involved in an apparent suicide. But something doesn't feel right to her about this. As she gets more involved in the case, there are some people that don't want her to do that. This causes some problems for her as she is not in New York and has no one there to help her.
