He’ll have to trust a woman who knows too much
To solve his biggest homicide case yet
LAPD detective Denver Holt doesn’t know what to make of true crime blogger Ashlynn Hughes—no matter how attracted he is to her. The stubborn writer has inside information that can help him crack his biggest homicide case yet. But as anonymous tips carry them further into danger, Denver wonders if he can keep a target off Ashlynn’s back…or if she’ll be silenced for good.
An intricate mystery! The second book in The Lost Girls series brought a new mystery to the forefront that held ties to ongoing drama. I enjoyed the characters and the course of their investigation quite a bit but I felt like there were some holes that weren’t developed and a very abrupt ending without a real relationship foundation.
Ashlynn is a compelling character with both the sympathy aspect as well as the intrigue going for her.
Denver is interesting, but to truly delve into him I wanted to know more about his past and particularly why Sean was throwing his mother under the bus in his dad’s case.
I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a high amount of intrigue mixed with a hint of romance and tidbits of family drama.
