The Kind to Kill

The Kind to Kill by Tessa Wegert is the fourth in a series of mysteries featuring Senior Investigator Shana Merchant. While each is written as a stand-alone, they are best read in order to get the full flavor of the continuing narrative and to understand the rich history between Shana and the serial killer Blake Bram. As tourist season hits the small community of Thousand Islands, a visitor goes missing and Shana's reputation is once again on the line.

The mystery at the heart of this novel is complex and twisty, making it a truly riveting read. The fast pace and atmospheric setting both add to the tension, as the novel races to a edge-of-your-seat conclusion. With complex characters and a well-thought-out plot, this is a must-read for fans of crime fiction who love the blend of psychological suspense and police procedural.

My thanks to NetGallery with providing me with an Advanced Reader Copy.

I am really loving this series. Police procedurals are a favorite of mine to read. The Kind to Kill isn't just about crime though, it's also about emotional healing and trauma that sometimes comes with the job. The author does a great job showing the emotion and pain behind the badge, as well as the tension and day-to-day to solve the case.

I still need to go back and read book 1 and 2 since I started out of order but I do love that these can be read standalone. This is a good one for any fan of serial killers, crime fiction and police procedurals.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher and Books Forward for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
