6.29.2020 - Left for Dead

Left For Dead by Caroline Mitchell

Many thanks to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer, and Caroline Mitchell for the opportunity to read and review the latest in the Amy Winter series.  Sadly, I didn't read the first two in this series; I will definitely go back and get caught up after reading and loving this book!  4.5 stars for an intriguing police procedural written by a former police detective so she knows her stuff!

Amy Winter is shopping with her sister when she notices a mannequin in a store window is actually a deceased person.  How creepy is that?  It gets creepier when they discover a heart carved into her chest, just like a body that was found decades ago and never solved.  Upon investigating, Amy discovers a connection to a Sugar Babes website that offers a girlfriend experience to men (even more creepy).  Throughout the investigation, Amy's personal life is also spooling out in the public as her biological mother/serial killer gets a new trial.

I was riveted to this story as Amy races to nail down the killer before he kills again.  If I had read the first two books in the series, Amy's family background story would have been even more intriguing but it was still a great plot line in this book.  I loved the character of Amy - how she fought against her biological history to make sure that she caught the bad guys, whatever that involved.
