Annie Fitch, a former police detective, struggles to make ends meet as a private investigator in the sleepy town of Leesburg, Virginia. On partial disability because of gunshot injuries, she’s relegated to doing surveillance gigs and background checks. But things are looking up, since her on-again, off-again relationship is back on and might stay that way.
When Annie is hired by Laura Carlton to follow her husband to get evidence of cheating, Annie is certain the case won’t take long. Nick Carlton grew up with money and privilege and has a sex addiction dating back to his high school days. But things go sideways when Annie finds her target dead in an alley just a few blocks from her own home.
Working with her former partner, Gunnar Jansson, Annie digs deeper into Carlton’s background, slowly excavating his past to reveal the multiple suspects and motives. The list includes his many lunch-hour-tryst partners, a local shop owner, and his business partner, among others. Layer by layer, Annie uncovers a truth that runs much deeper than anyone expected
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.
Exposed Fury is an aptly named novel. I really enjoyed the watching this case slowly come together while the clues were unearthed.
I really hope that Exposed Fury is the start of a series, because the case was solved and wrapped, but Annie’s love life is one thing I would like to dig a little deeper into. She has a long term on again off again boyfriend, that I honestly don’t know that I like for her. He’s super protective of her since she was shot prior to the start of Exposed Fury.
We also, have Annie’s former partner on the force that we know has an interest in Annie and his love life is currently in shambles and I would love to see where things go for her as for as her love life goes.
Back to the case and the main focus of the book. It was such an interesting case, because the man found murdered was actually who Annie was watching for infidelity the previous week. At that point we knew that he had been with 5 women, which actually turned out that number had been in the hundreds! Can we say sex addict?
The deeper we dove into the case the more convoluted it became. I was shocked by the outcome and who the killer was!! If you are in the mood for a suspense read with a side of romance you should definitely pick up Exposed Fury!
