She Lies in Wait
A group of teenagers enter the woods for a camping trip, one of them doesn’t come back out. Thirty years later the body of Aurora Jackson is found in a crevasse under a tree. Will detectives be able to unravel the events of that night and determine which person in the close knit group of friends has been lying all this time? She Lies in Wait was a quick, entertaining read that kept me guessing until the end of the book. It is well written, suspenseful, and the characters and events are realistic. The events unfold both in the present time from the viewpoint of the detectives as well as in flashbacks from the night of the crime in Aurora’s viewpoint. I enjoyed the back and forth. If you like mysteries you’ll probably enjoy this book. I noticed that this is listed as DCI Jonah Sheens #1 so it seems there will be a series of books involving his character. I will be sure to keep an eye out for those, if they’re anything like She Lies in Wait I’m sure they’ll be worth the read. Th
