Straight for the Kill (Benoit and Dayne Mystery Book 3) by Winter Austin – Review by Bethany Rollins

Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I would not recommend jumping into this series without reading the first two books. I struggled keeping my attention on this book and it took way too long for me to read because the backstory of the characters was probably in the other books. This also led me to not liking any of the characters because they all seem very flawed with little explanation. Again, reading the first two books would have probably helped me here.

With this stated and my personal struggle to connect, it was just an okay read for me. I would have liked more details on the investigation and less on the characters feelings about suspects, but I understand small town suspense leads to this mindset. I would have liked to see more linkage between the old and new cases other than a hunch. Overall, good storyline and brought to light the secrets everyone holds but it didn’t have any WOW moments that captured me.
