I love it when I am able to read a new series of books. I was introduced to this author with the first book in the series and have followed along with each new publication.
If you enjoy murder mystery with a thriller slant, this is told from the cop procedural point of view and is so good! Check out my thoughts and review on book 3, The wrong Victim!
The Wrong Victim by Allison Brennan
(Quinn & Costa #3)
Publisher : MIRA; Original edition (April 26, 2022)
ISBN-13 : 978-0778312307
OVERVIEW:
A bomb explodes on a sunset charter cruise out of Friday Harbor at the height of tourist season and kills everyone on board. Now this fishing and boating community is in shock and asking who would commit such a heinous crime—the largest act of mass murder in the history of the San Juan Islands.
Forensic profilers know there are two types of domestic terrorists: those who use violence to instill fear for political purposes but stop at murder because it detracts from the cause, and those who crave attention and are willing to maim and murder for their own agenda.
Accused of putting profits before people after leaking fuel that caused a massive fish kill, the West End Charter company may itself have been the target. But as special agent Matt Costa, detective Kara Quinn and the rest of the FBI team begin their investigation, they discover that plenty of people might have wanted someone dead on that yacht. Now they must track down who is responsible and stop them before they strike again.
The Wrong Victim by Allison Brennan Review
I love it when an author can twist you up right along with the story. This book has so many awesome pieces coming at you from multiple areas, that it was tough to put down. Once I got started, I just kept right on reading!
Quinn and Costa are right on target in this one and the other supporting characters are awesome as well. Additional layers of internal tensions and issues start messing with the team and one of the characters you love to hate! Ugh. But it also affects the simmering love affair going on beneath everyone’s noses between Quinn and Costa.
Brennan steps it up a notch with the amazing story that offers high levels of detail and multiple storylines crossing over. You are not sure what is relevant and was is not; what character to watch and which one to not.
Intensive and totally unique, I am obsessed with where this series is going and I definitely want to be along for the ride. This police procedural murder mystery has some surprises and is simply a dang good read!
5 STARS!
