A deadly past refuses to stay buried in Olivia Kiernan's masterful new novel
Death is no stranger to Detective Chief Superintendent Frankie Sheehan, but she isn't the only one from her small, coastal suburb to be intimately acquainted with it. Years ago, teenager Se�n Hennessey shocked the tight-knit community when he was convicted of the brutal murder of his parents and attempted slaying of his sister, though he always maintained his innocence. Now, Se�n is finally being released from prison--but when his newfound freedom coincides with the discovery of two bodies, the alleged connection between the cases only serves to pull Frankie further from answers even as it draws her closer to her town's hidden darkness. With a television documentary revisiting Se�n's sentence pushing the public's sympathies into conflict on a weekly basis, a rabid media pressuring the police like never before, and a rising body count, Frankie will need all of her resources if she is not only to catch a killer, but put to rest what really happened all those years ago.
A dark, irresistible cocktail of secrets, murder, and family, Olivia Kiernan's latest is an impossible-to-put-down triumph.
MY REVIEW:
The Killer in Me by Olivia KiernanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I had a hard time getting into this book and keeping my interest. So many characters and who did what and trying to figure out if there is more than 1 case going on with different killers. Years ago teenager Sean Hennessy is found guilty of killing his parents and leaving his sister for dead. He is just released and now a couple is found dead in a church and another man who was a reporter is also found dead. So did Sean do it? And where is his sister? The police bring in several suspects and but then lead into dead ends. I didn't trust Sean from the beginning but he kept saying he didn't do it and is believable. But is he? By the time I got to the end I didn't really care.
I received this from First To Read.
