Take a breath. Pray it’s not your last.
Just a few months after a terrifying case that nearly took her life, Detective Lucy Harwin is back with her squad in the coastal town of Brooklyn Bay – and this time, she’s faced with a case more horrifying than anything she’s encountered.
Along with her partner, Detective Mattie Jackson, Lucy is investigating what appears to be a vicious but isolated murder; a woman found bludgeoned to death on a lonely patch of wasteland.
But when a second victim is discovered strangled in an alleyway, then a young family shot in their own home, Lucy and the team must face the unthinkable reality - a killer is walking the streets of their town.
While Lucy and the team try to find the link between these seemingly unconnected murders, they uncover a disturbing truth – these murders are replicating those carried out by infamous serial killers.

Cover Review:
The cover is spooky, silent, kinda gives the feeling as if something is lurking just beneath the surface (or am I reading too much into it?!) and I love it!
Book Review:
First of all, thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me a chance to read and review this awesome book!
Dying Breath was chilling, exciting and so very awesome.
I love psychological thrillers and especially the ones with serial killers. I love trying to figure out a killer's pattern, and who he/she might be.
Dying Breath was everything the blurb promised and more! It was exciting, it was full of suspense and just plain awesome.
Lucy Harwin was a strong and real character. I loved her for her dedication to her job, and because she wasn't a super-human ;)
Dying Breath kept me on my toes, gave me goosebumps and made me look twice at everyone I saw for a whole day (seriously, you could turn into a serial killer's next target by just being in the same shopping center with him!)
Basically, I loved it.
That cover is perfect for this type of book. I'm thinking I need to sink my teeth into some deep books after the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? And I'm sure you'll love this one! :)
DeleteI used to read a lot of mystery and suspense but not so much anymore. I'm thinking that, with books like this, I need to jump back into it. Great review and thanks for the recommendation :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to jump back in! :)
DeleteThis looks delish!
ReplyDeleteIt does, doesn't it?
DeleteI watch a series not that long ago that was about a police team trying to catch murders who were copying serial killers. I found it really interesting, so this book perks my interest. Great review.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
