My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lila Dayne is a Deputy with Eckhardt County who survived an attack on her life by a serial killer. Two years later she is haunted by the memories of that vicious attack. Still running from that night and trying to overcome her fears she is desperate for a fresh start. Even after moving to a small part of southeast Iowa, Lila is unable to shake her fears of constantly being watched.

Elizabeth Benoit is the new Sheriff of the department in Eckhardt County where Lila is now working as a Deputy. Elizabeth is quickly thrown from her task of stopping corruption into the solving of murder when dead bodies suddenly start to appear. The murders are freakishly similar to those of a serial killer who left bodies along the I-80. When one of the bodies portrays a sinister message directed at a member of the department it sets off a chain of events that has one member spiral out of control.

I loved this book and found myself really invested in Lila and her story. I could feel her fear and experienced the terror that went along with her as she fought through the things that triggered her. As I read along and followed her on her journey I found myself trying to solve the mystery of who the serial killer was and why they were after Lila. I was compelled to read through in one sitting to find out what was going to become of Lila and solve the mystery along with Lila and Elizabeth. I was on pins and needles as the story unfolded. This book is full of action, suspense, mystery, and intrigue. I highly recommend!

Wow, Winter Austin has me wanting to get the 1st book in this series. Give me chills towards the middle of the book. Poor Lila can’t get the shaking fear that the killer is somewhere watching her every move. I don’t like the fact that Elizabeth used Lila to lure the killer to her knowing that she wants to be free of fear. Funny thing that I live close to Chicago LOL.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book two in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series, Hush, My Darling can either be read by itself, or after the first book. Winter Austin does a fantastic job of filling the reader in with needed information from the first book. In this installment, Deputy Lila Dayne’s past comes to haunt her. She narrowly escaped from her prospective killer the first time, and now a new body turns up which makes Lila believe that her killer has found her in her new town. Her reaction to the find causes other members of the department to question her ability to continue being a deputy. Will Lila be able to prove that she is stable enough to continue with her job, or will the killer succeed in taking her down? Find out in Hush, My Darling.
Hush, My Darling is full of twists, turns, and relatable characters. The reader can feel right along with the characters. Lila’s fear is almost palpable through the pages. Winter Austin does an amazing job creating a visual of both the physical and emotional aspects of the story. This story is gripping and a page turner.
I absolutely loved every moment of this story. I did not want to put it down. It is full of mystery, tragedy, twists, and turns. If you do not pick up a copy, you are missing out.

4.5 Stars

 

Hush My Darling is the second book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series by Winter Austin. It is an engrossing thriller that had me guessing the whole way through. It is gritty, gripping, suspenseful, intense, and entirely intriguing. This serial killer murder mystery is set in a small town, which gives it an added element of interest for me.
Elizabeth Benoit is the new sheriff in town, but settling in just got complicated as flooding devastates the area. When a decomposing body is discovered, things intensify, and it soon becomes apparent that there is a serial killer in their midst. What happens makes for a riveting read.
Bring on Book #3!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Winter Austin!

Hush, My Darling (Benoit and Dayne Mystery #2) by Winter Austin

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. It certainly won’t be my last. Hush, My Darling is the second book in the Benoit and Say he Mystery Series. It’s a fantastic read that hooked me from the beginning.

Elizabeth is now Sheriff and now there’s a serial killer under her nose. Problem is, one of her deputies has already been a victim of said serial killer. Can she and Dayne figure it out? The quote I chose for Elizabeth is: “Deputy Lundquist, please step outside. Dr. Remington-Thorpe, if you would join him, please.”

Lila is back on the job after almost losing her life and losing her baby. Now the killer is back and after her. Can she do the job Elizabeth wants her to do? Will she become a victim again? The quote I chose for Lila is: “Done and over with, and he’s still alive. Don’t worry about it. I came home to get something to eat. Let’s get out of this humidity.”

Highly recommended for Crime Thriller lovers.
