Murder Girl

Lisa Renee Jones — 2018

It’s Lilah Love’s job to inhabit a killer’s mind. The unapologetically tough FBI profiler is very comfortable there. But her latest case is making her head spin. It’s a string of brutal assassinations carried out across the country, each tied to a mysterious tattoo. Body by body, she’s followed the clues all the way back to her hometown. And every step of the way, the killer has been following her. Here, beneath the glamour of the privileged Hamptons community, is a secret long buried but never forgotten. It’s bigger than Lilah. It’s powerful enough to escape the reach of the FBI. And it’s more personal than anyone can imagine. Because it’s hiding in Lilah’s own past. To fight it, she’s forced to turn to her lethally tempting ex, Kane Mendez. He’s an expert at bringing out Lilah’s darkest impulses. If she plans to survive, she’s going to need them.

Actual review : 3.5 stars I received an ARC if this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Lisa Renee Jones! I loved Murder Notes. It was fast paced, and intriguing. Murder Girl was less so. It was slow, and I had trouble getting into it. The investigation was interesting, but I got frustrated when there were portions where not much was happening. What I have come to love from Jones’ books is the angst. It was so drawn out in this book that I no longer felt it. The plot is complex and well layered, but it felt like a set-up book, and leas like a sequel. Sometimes, I felt bombarded by information of family ties, past cases, and politics, which further caused me to lose interest. Despite that, I still fond Kane and Lilah to be interesting characters and I’d like to see how they grow and come along in the next books. The ending of this book seems to be a hood kick off point for a sequel, so we shall see!
