My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5838899381″>4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Everyone experiences PTSD differently and, in this book, the main character, Deputy Nicolette Rivers, is a former marine sniper going through it. She had secrets to hide, but who doesn’t? There are a slew of suicides happening in the little town of Eider and she is one part of the duo that is tasked with solving the cases. Are they connected? Are they really suicides or are they homicides? She would rather work alone, but her partner detective Con O’ Hanlon is not about to leave her to deal with everything on her own. Will they be able to get along long enough to uncover the truth behind all the carnage? This story deals with PTSD. I’m sure that the author had a hard time trying to get all the ins and outs of how PTSD would affect someone, but I feel she did a great job. It was an enjoyable and quick read; I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2.
