I found this Scared to Death on my Hoopla account as an instant borrow for May. I love when there is an instant borrowl list because I can try out a book without wasting one of my 5 monthly borrows. Anyway, the synopsis sounded interesting, so I tried it out. The story is the first in a series that follows Detective Kay Hunter as she solves crimes with her police team.
I am so glad that I gave this book a try. I ended up really enjoying it. I loved the characters as well as the mystery. It was refreshing to to read about a police detective who wasn't an alcoholic, had a traumatic past or was divorced. Instead, Kay is dealing with a loss, but she has a great partner in her husband who actually mourns with her and supports her. I loved Adam. The other police officers were interesting and I think they all will end up making a good team going forward. I also enjoyed the mystery. Even though we do get a perspective from the killer, there are still some twists and surprises for the reader.
I highly recommend this one if you missed it. It looks like there are 9 books so far in the series, so I have some catching up to do.
