A man is dead, shot three times in his home office. But his computer has been shot twelve times, and when the cops arrive, his pregnant wife is holding the gun.
D.D. Warren arrives on the scene and recognizes the woman–Evie Carter–from a case many years back. Evie’s father was killed in a shooting that was ruled an accident. But for D.D., two coincidental murders is too many.
Flora Dane sees the murder of Conrad Carter on the TV news and immediately knows his face. She remembers a night when she was still a victim–a hostage–and her captor knew this man. Overcome with guilt that she never tracked him down, Flora is now determined to learn the truth of Conrad’s murder.
But D.D. and Flora are about to discover that in this case the truth is a devilishly elusive thing. As layer by layer they peel away the half-truths and outright lies, they wonder: How many secrets can one family have?
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
What a fantastic, all consuming book!
If you are skeptical about reading Never Tell because it’s the tenth book in the series don’t worry at all. I read it and didn’t realize until about 50% in that it was a part of series and that was only because the characters seemed familiar with each other and it referenced past cases.
Never Tell was an intense mystery that kept me engaged throughout and unable to figure out the killer until all of the characters realized it as well. I thought I pegged the killer from the beginning, but ho boy was I wrong.
There are so many facets to this book and with it being told from three different points of view really helped with the intrigue and kept things blind to as the same time. I’ve never read a book with chapters ending with hooks like Never Tell, it was like every chapter had a miniature cliffhanger, but then you switched points of view and you are left breathless.
My heart was literally racing throughout this entire story and I was kept on the edge of my seat. If you enjoy mystery series, this a must read series!
