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

Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The cover art drew me in. I don’t think I even read the synopsis of the story, but really loved the cover art and spooky feel of it. Straight for the Kill is the 3rd book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. I have not read the other 2 books, but I kind of wish I did. I felt very confused and frustrated the first part of the book. There are a LOT of characters, and some being deputies, are often referred to by their last name, and others their first name, and some nick names. I felt like I had names swimming in my heard and hard a hard time connecting who was who and what was going on. It was prob 1/4 of the way through the book before it all clicked for me. The book is well written and high stakes mystery. There is a lot going on, and the mystery remains throughout. We know that some characters know more than they let on, but not all is revealed, and that kept me engaged because I wanted to know how everything unfolded. The “who done it” if you will…. I will likely read more by this author, as the story was well developed.
