Atonement (The McIntire County Series Book #1) by Winter Austin – Review by Angela Hayes

Atonement by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

Atonement is the first book in the McIntire County series by Winter Austin. It is an engrossing romantic suspense that has all the suspenseful, gritty, gripping, and intense developments that I love and have come to expect from Ms. Austin. She has a way of weaving intriguing mystery, tension, and complex subjects into an entirely unputdownable read, while blending in plenty of emotion to balance it all out.
This is a crime and investigation story set in a small rural town in Iowa, where things take a twisted turn when a series of baffling suicides sets the stage for a dangerous game of cat and mouse. A cunning serial killer with an agenda. A determined deputy with PTSD and secrets of her own. A stubborn detective intent on helping to uncover the killer. Add in plenty of angst, dramatic developments, and twists and turns- and the story really takes off.
What a way to start a series! Can’t wait to see where we go from here. Bring on Book #2!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Winter Austin!
