My Review: Killer Exposure

" . . . of all the adventures Locke ever loved, Greer was his greatest."

Description:

A killer with a secret motive…

A mother with a secret baby

Crime scene photographer Greer Montgomery didn’t expect to witness a murder at a small-town carnival—nor to be rescued by the father of her secret baby. A storm chaser, Locke Gallagher often stares down death, but he’s never known true fear until Greer’s life is at risk. But how can he protect his newly discovered family when the killer could be anyone?

About the Author:

Jessica R. Patch lives in the mid-south where she pens inspirational contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels. You can find her watching way too much Netflix with her family, going on fun adventures (all in the name of research), and collecting recipes to amazing dishes she'll probably never cook.

My thoughts:

I haven’t been reading a terrible lot of suspense lately, but I always have to make an exception for Jessica R. Patch’s newest books!  I’m one of those people who spends the book trying to guess “whodunit” and Ms. Patch is one of the few authors that stumps me almost every time!  I don’t know how she does it, but I rarely finish her books with the “I was right!” excitement.  It’s always the “wait, how did I miss that?” question, instead.  Which to me is one of the marks of a very well-written mystery.  

    

I’m not typically a huge fan of “hidden children” stories, but she pulled it off really well.  I had to laugh, at one point a character actually comments about how the story is seeming an awful lot like a daytime soap!  Which was just perfect for that character and the story.  There were so many red herrings and other things going on, sometimes my brain was racing a bit to keep up!  I so enjoy how realistic her characters are, too!  Like the soap opera comment, they say what I’m pretty sure I would be thinking, if I was in their shoes.  It was really interesting to read the story from Locklin’s perspective, as he’s ADHD, and get a glimpse inside his brain.  It helped me understand better what some of my friends might be feeling or going through, which is really cool.  I love that her characters have quirks and flaws like the rest of us.  I also really appreciate how she’s continuing to tie in people from previous books, though I sometimes have to wrack my brain to figure out which book they’re from.  

Overall, I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy mysteries that leave you guessing and characters that grip your heart strings!
