Over the past year or so I’ve been reading and reviewing more and more books in the mystery suspense genre. I love blending in different types of books so that I never get stale reading the same thing over and over.
Today I want to share with you a fun new series that I just discovered. Due out in November, here are my thoughts on this upcoming release.
Let Her Go by D.J. Adamson
Publisher: Horatio Press
Publication Date November 15th 2018
ABOUT:
Murder. Betrayal. Love Gone Wrong.
With her ability to present clues without giving away the endings and offering surprising twists encouraging the reader to the next page, D. J. Adamson delves into a family tragedy ending up in murder and a teenage daughter missing. When Lillian Dove finds herself involved in the police investigation, she realizes the daughter holds the key to unravel who killed her mother.
It is three days before Christmas when Lillian Dove comes across Dr. Conrad standing out in front of his house, covered in blood. When going inside the house to help other members of his family, she finds his wife killed, his son seriously injured, and his teenage daughter, Peyton Clayton, missing. Even more shocking, the police suspect Dr. Conrad. Understanding how emotional dilemmas have strained the family emboldens Lillian to help Detective Jacque Leveque, Major Crimes Detective for the Frytown Police Department, find the prime witness to the Conrad truths.
Let Her Go is a nerve-wracking exploration into a family lost, and the extent love elicits both the good and the bad. In this Third Step in Personal Recovery Lillian works to find Peyton Clayton, while battling the worse arctic freeze in Frytown’s history, untangling human frailties, and confronting the ghosts of Christmas.
Let Her Go by D.J. Adamson Review
I love it when you can tell from the beginning of a book whether it’s going to be an engaging and fun read. This book was both from the beginning and I was thrilled to find that it was very well written with plenty of twists to keep me hooked.
This is book three in a series and while I have never read the other books before, I never really felt overly lost. The author did a great job of blending in some of the backstory.
I love Lillian! She is snarky, quick witted, recovering alcoholic, and just cannot keep out of police business. She has an on/off crush with the police chief and a love/hate (mainly hate) relationship with the detective. That made things interesting! HA
The author created a delightful book that leads us on a mystery journey through the icy and frozen Christmas holiday. Her characters are totally imperfect, but you cannot help but love them! A bit crazy, a bit intense, and a whole lot of strange happenings.
I had so much fun reading this. You get a taste for Lillian and her crazy antics but yet her heart is full too. A wonderful mixture of family issues, love issues, sleuthing, and even getting in trouble with the law.
This is the first book by D.J. Adamson I have experienced and I am definitely heading over to find the first books in the series. Cannot wait to read more!
