About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Revenge. It's all relative.
Born three minutes apart, Penny and Nix Albright grew up doing everything together, close as only twins can be. But when Nix dies in a tragic accident soon after college, she leaves behind a cryptic voicemail that has Penny guilt-ridden and desperate for justice.
Five Years Later
Penny has found new purpose as a rookie cop. She’s working to fulfill Nix’s dream of making the world a safer place, but following that dream becomes a nightmare when she’s called to her first murder scene. When she sees the victim, she knows him instantly. It’s Danny Bowery—one of three men she’s long blamed for Nix’s death—splayed in a pool of blood outside a posh Atlanta shopping center, almost as if she’d wished it so.
Stunned, Penny steps away to catch her breath and discovers a blonde in blood-drenched clothes gripping a box cutter. Before Penny can arrest her, the woman reveals that Bowery’s murder is part of a larger story that is far from over. A story about sisters. And with that, the killer disappears.
Now, Penny will stop at nothing to pursue this dangerous woman and learn why she’s avenging Nix’s death. The deeper she dives into the mystery, the less clear it becomes who is hunting whom in this captivating page-turner of hidden motives and deadly consequences.
My Review
Penny Albright and her twin sister Nix had always been close. Five years ago, it all came to a shocking end. Nix died in a horrible accident. Now, Penny is a rookie cop determined to make the world a better place. That’s what Nix would have wanted.
Penny and her partner are called to her very first murder scene. She’s stunned when she recognizes the victim. He’s one of the men she blames for her sister’s untimely death. As Penny searches the surrounding area, she finds a woman covered in blood with a box cutter. The woman admits to killing the guy but lets Penny know this is a story about sisters. Penny is sure this is all about Nix. She must pursue it until she finds out what really happened to Nix.
It took me a little time to get into this story, but once I did, it was a real page turner. It’s a captivating tale filled with secrets and betrayal. I never saw that ending coming.
This story has the makings for a sequel. I hope we get one. This author sure knows how to write engrossing drama with intriguing characters. I'll be on the lookout for more books by her as well as checking out her backlist.
