Girl Undone (TJ Peacock and Lisa Rayburn Mysteries #3) by Marla Madison

I was given a free copy of the book by the author in exchange for an honest review

This is what a really good suspense novel should be like – this thought came to my mind when I was in the middle of the book still puzzled and guessing. One moment Marla Madison makes you think that you got it, you figured it out and right after it you sit dumbfounded, who could ever think that it may turn this way? These are precious feelings which make a crime story worth reading.
The main characters of this novel - TJ Peacock, a private investigator, and Lisa Rayburn, a psychologist - try to catch a serial killer whose hunger for celebrity is so huge that he makes a popular criminal blogger to write about him in his blog. Finally the blogger asks TJ and his colleague for help, fearing for his life.
When all the characters gathered in one house, not knowing who the murderer is and who the next victim is, I remembered the feelings that I had reading Agatha Christie’s “And then there were none”. The tension so high, million thoughts swarming in my head I tried to solve the puzzle that glorious Ms. Madison had given. And I’ll tell you what – don’t even bother if you are not a Sherlock Holmes of our times. The twists and turns, billion details, characters.. the author knows how to bewilder the reader.
Marla Madison is a revelation for me, and I’d happy to continue the acquaintance with her works.
