The girl’s blonde hair fans across the ground like a halo, her soft brown eyes staring blankly up at the stormy sky. Leigh’s heart beats painfully in her chest as she takes in the scene. Is this her fault? Could she have saved this girl?
When the body of twenty-one-year-old Alice Dietz is found in the courtyard of her alma mater, FBI agent Leigh Brody feels as though a nightmare has come to life. Eighteen years ago, another girl was killed in the same way as Alice. And Leigh gave a false alibi to protect the man she loved from murder charges. She believed his claim of innocence, until he vanished from her life…
Has he resurfaced after all these years?
Haunted by the mistakes of her past, Leigh is determined to uncover the truth. But as a hurricane cuts off all communication lines, another student goes missing, and the case becomes a desperate race against time. Leigh won’t let another girl down, even if she has to tear this campus apart in her search. But can she dig deep into her painful memories to find the final clue before another innocent life is lost?
Riveting from start to finish! The third book in Severn’s Leigh Brody FBI Mystery series is the best yet! The set up of the current crime and it’s relation to Leigh’s past had me hooked from the very start and the twists and turns and addictive atmosphere of the storm brewing made for an intense read. Lots of mystery, a good amount of feels between Leigh and her past as well as she and Ava and settling into their new norm and just an overall suspense filled delight.
I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a strong female FBI lead who puts her heart and soul into bringing justice when needed.
