A review by kdickerson38
Stillwater Island by Gregg Olsen

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

  • Book 5 in the Detective Megan Carpenter series but can also be read as a stand-alone
  • Tropes/themes:
    • Police procedural/legal thriller 
    • Kidnapping
    • Domestic abuse
    • Affairs
  • Gripping 
  • Suspenseful
  • Tense 
  • Never knew who to trust
  • I equally appreciate the recaps of previous books in the series and find them repetitive and annoying
  • Great characters
  • I like how there was less focus on Megan’s backstory and personal life in this book, and the focus was kept on the case at hand
