11.6.2023 - When I'm Dead

When I'm Dead by Hannah Morrissey 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press Minotaur Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Hannah Morrissey - 4.5 stars!

Black Harbor is a bleak, dying industrial town.  The job becomes personal when medical examiner Rowen discovers that her teenage daughter's friend has been killed.  Then things turn worse when her daughter, Chloe, is missing.  Together with her husband, Axel, a Black Harbor detective, they search for Chloe but their differing opinions may tear the family further apart.  

I love this Black Harbor series and it's getting better as it goes!  But each book focuses on a different group of people in town, with just a few mentions carrying over, so it's a great stand-alone read as well.  The atmosphere of the town adds to all the mystery, and the author keeps the tension high throughout.  I did feel for the parents - they are both devoted to their jobs, which takes them away from family at the most inconvenient of times.  Morrissey also captured the teenage viewpoint and the mean girl attitude that can devastate their targets.  I can't wait to read more in this series!
