<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPublished: <\/strong>October 31, 2023 by St. Martin’s Press<\/p>\n\n\n\nCategories:<\/strong> Thriller \/ Suspense \/ Mystery<\/p>\n\n\n\nBlurb:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One girl murdered…another one missing…and a medical examiner desperate to uncover the truth in\u00a0When I’m Dead, the latest Black Harbor mystery by acclaimed author Hannah Morrissey.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn a bone-chilling October night, Medical Examiner Rowan Winthorp investigates the death of her daughter\u2019s best friend. Hours later, the tragedy hits even closer to home when she makes a devastating discovery\u2014her daughter, Chloe, is gone. But, not without a trace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nA morbid mosaic of clues forces Rowan and her husband to question how deeply they really knew their daughter. As they work closely to peel back the layers of this case, they begin to unearth disturbing details about Chloe and her secret transgressions\u2026details that threaten to tear them apart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAmidst the noise of navigating her newfound grief and reconciling the sins of her past, an undeniable fact rings true for Rowan: karma has finally come to collect.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nMy Thoughts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI was immediately absorbed by this atmospheric page turner. Holy Moley. Black Harbor reminds me of Gotham City. It has that kind of vibe. The story is told from three points of view: Rowan who’s the medical examiner; Axel, a homicide detective and Rowan’s husband; and Libby, the awkward teenager who lives next door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The night of the high school play, a teenage girl is found murdered. Rowan and Axel are called to the scene only to find the victim is their daughter’s best friend. Things escalate when they realize their daughter is also missing. What follows is a desperate search along a twisted path for their daughter as well as answers to unexpected revelations that come to light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This book never lets up. Rowan and Axel are thrown into crisis mode and become unreliable narrators of sorts. That’s where Libby comes in. You never know what’s up with her but her perspective gives you a different take on the action and gives you a break from the turmoil enveloping Rowan and Axel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, it’s a gripping thriller with lots of dark twists and turns. The setting sets the tone. The well done characterizations bring the drama. It’s the perfect book to read come October 31st. Definitely check it out if it’s your jam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until next time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is it about fall that makes you want to read something a little more atmospheric? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
