A missing friend found dead.
Carlee, a private eye, was a tech whizz and often used her own gadgets to catch cheating husbands. One case was always on her mind and that was the murder of her twin brother. Maybe one day she would find his killer and finally get a life. Maybe one day, but not today. Ever since The 8th Grade Killer slaughtered her classmates, including her brother, she’s never had any friends or social connections. But that didn’t matter. Right now, Carlee had a request to look in on the beach murder and maybe clear a young boy’s name, sending her home to Harborside and bad memories.
The only alibi the poor boy had was one that could destroy families and possible futures, so Carlee had her work cut out for her, especially with every town busybody recognizing her and asking her about The 8th Grade Killer.
I liked Carlee’s smarts, wits, and clever retorts. Like Batman, she was a tech genius with all these cool gadgets. But mostly what got me into this was the murder case. It could be anyone.
“An embittered [ex], a vengeful [lover], a jealous [friend], and tyrannical [father] –none of them could be completely trusted.”
The dead bodies were piling up, which could only be the result of another serial killer. But that wasn’t all. Carlee’s trip back to Harborside also brings back The 8th Grade Killer. Two serial killers?
A compelling mystery from start to
finish! I’m definitely getting the rest of this series.
