I am pretty impressed with the book choices of Once Upon  Bookclub…this thriller was a tale well told.  Sometimes the police procedural stuff is just…wrong… and it annoys me, but here, everything felt believable.   Our hero did make some questionable choices, but they made sense in her mind, which we knew enough about to buy it.   A really well done thriller..deserves more attention.

I loved the forensic aspects, and it started off very strong. Towards the end it got hard to follow the timeline, and a bit confusing to keep track of. The change to Rowan’s perspective felt jarring. I did still enjoy the book, though there weren’t any shocking twists or revelations for me.

The decision to buy pink towels from the department store changed Detective Elise Sutton’s life forever. 
 
As shots ring out, Sutton snaps into action and takes down the gunman to save the life of another man—a life for a life. Dealing with tremendous guilt, Sutton seeks out the man she saved to justify her actions. Thus begins a captivating cat-and-mouse thriller that swaps POVs, leaves the reader guessing, and delves into the human psyche. Overall, this was a layered, fast-moving psychological thriller.

Major trigger warnings in this one!

I find my rating hovering between three and four stars because our main character Elise does some really silly things in this book (that I guess can be blamed on her trauma??) that made me question her profession. 

That point aside, Wendy Walker once again delivers a fast-paced, hard to put down story, with a nice twist thrown into the mix.
