Left for Dead left me extremely impressed! This is the third book in the DI Amy Winter series but worked very well as a stand-alone book for me as I have not read the previous books (but desperately want to!)
While shopping with her sister, DI Amy Winter notices something about the window display. Besides being riveting, the perfect bride encrusted with diamonds looks so real – because she is! Noticing blood dripping from the victim’s mouth, Amy jumps into action to secure the crime scene. Soon another body is found, a killer yearns to kill again, while Amy deals with her past, and goes toe to toe with a local businessman who is fascinated with Amy’s serial killer parents.
This book had a strong plot along with interesting subplots. I enjoyed the twists and turns this book took along the way. While reading, one might think they know everything that is going on, but Mitchell had a few cards up her sleeve. Will you be shocked? Did you see that coming?
Amy’s character is interesting as her biological parents were serial killers and she is an officer of the law. In her pursuit of criminals, she did fail to follow protocol and put herself into some dangerous situations. We do get to know the killer and I did not mind knowing his identity. In fact, I thought that made this book more interesting.
I found this to be a fast read. This was my first book in the series, and I look forward to reading the next one that comes out.
