First of all, thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me a chance to read and review this awesome book!
Dying Breath was chilling, exciting and so very awesome.
I love psychological thrillers and especially the ones with serial killers. I love trying to figure out a killer's pattern, and who he/she might be.
Dying Breath was everything the blurb promised and more! It was exciting, it was full of suspense and just plain awesome.
Lucy Harwin was a strong and real character. I loved her for her dedication to her job, and because she wasn't a super-human ;)
Dying Breath kept me on my toes, gave me goosebumps and made me look twice at everyone I saw for a whole day (seriously, you could turn into a serial killer's next target by just being in the same shopping center with him!)
Basically, I loved it.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I could not put this book down! I had read the first book in this series and was excited to get into this one, the second Lucy Harwin book. A great story with gruesome murders that twists and turns right until the end. Highly recommend this series. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for a copy of this book to read and review

I enjoyed the first novel in the Detective Lucy Harwin Series. I had a few problems with Dark House (aka Lost Children) but it was enjoyable overall.
I was extremely excited about Dying Breath, but I have to say I’m a bit disappointed with it.
The story was interesting but the execution left much to be desired... A lot of telling instead of showing, weird behavior by the characters, a red herring that was painfully obvious and such an abrupt ending that I stared at my kindle for 5 minutes wondering what the hell had happened.
I LOVE this type of book, I’m completely addicted to book series that fit this awesome genre, but I do hope that the Lucy Harwin series get better. I will be giving it a chance if there is a third book, however I don’t think I can do more than that :(

I just love Helen Phifer books. For anyone who loves crime detectives stories then this is for you. It’s the 2nd book following detective Lucy Harwin and it hits all the right spots. Face paced and even though you can kind of guess who it is it doesn’t ruin it. I love how it’s written from different perspectives of different people and it has a super exciting ending that makes you not put the book down till it’s finished. Well done Helen, can’t wait to read more.
