AUDIOBOOK DESCRIPTION

There’s a blood moon rising over the tiny Maine town of Coyote Cove when Chief Maggie Riley comes across the body of a man, blood seeping from stab wounds into the damp forest floor. As she desperately struggles to secure the scene as an approaching storm threatens to destroy all evidence, Heather, a local teenage girl, emerges from the woods terrified, a silent scream on her lips.

Maggie, a decorated former homicide detective and more than over-qualified for a two-horse-town police chief, has been hiding from her past for the last four years. The quiet of Coyote Cove was everything she needed after… what happened. But with this murder, the life she left behind has found her. Who is the killer? Why was Heather out in the woods that night? And what dark secret is the girl hiding? To uncover the truth, Maggie must use the skills, and contacts, of her former world, however painful that will be.

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

The Chief Maggie Riley Series starts out strong! This is a complex, clever thriller with many twists, turns, and surprises you won’t see coming. Maggie, the main protagonist, is complicated and flawed, as are we all. The story is told from multiple points of view, but it never gets confusing. The setting in the small Maine town and Maggie’s backstory promise lots of intrigue and suspense to come. The multi-layered characters will keep everyone guessing.

If you like to read about situations that are not what they seem, this might be the book for you. I am looking forward to Book 2. If you like Thrillers, try this one!

I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did a good job of portraying the characters, especially Maggie and Heather.

I received a free copy of this audiobook via Netgalley. My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own.
