When I'm Dead

I'm so disappointed in my first BOTM book. I only got about 130 pages before I DNF this book. It was SO boring, none of the things that happen are in any way believable (like the parents being part of the investigation of their missing child), and none of the characters were relatable or likable. Just a waste of time and money.

When I began reading I was apprehensive about another detective/police murder mystery thriller, but aspects of When I'm Dead gives it an edge on other novels in this genre.
While technically the third in a series, you could read this as a standalone and not be confused.
This is the PERFECT Hallows Eve read! I devoured it in 24 hours on Halloween, and the vibes were chef's kiss.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

It's been a while since I devoured a book as fast as I did this one. I was sucked in from page 1 and didn't want to put it down. The perfect psychological thriller, the characters are well-developed and I found myself truly invested in their lives and outcomes. The story follows Rowan, a medical examiner, and her husband Axel, a local detective, who have found that their daughter, Chloe, is missing following a school play, and even more frightening, two of her friends turn up dead at the same time. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like as a mother going through this, with no answers, my daughter missing, and her friends brutally murdered. Written in alternating views, the author builds suspense with each passing chapter, never once giving me even the slightest inkling of who was guilty. I love a thriller that leaves me guessing the entire time and Hannah Morrissey did that masterfully. This is my second Black Harbor book and I can't wait to see what Hannah comes up with next!
