1.15.2017 - A Short Time to Die

A Short Time to Die by Susan Alice Bickford

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this great debut thriller!

The book is told in two different voices 13 years apart. Marly Shaw is a teenager growing up in Central New York in the Harris family that is holding the area hostage to their violent ways. The police are powerless, the family breeds among themselves, and no one can get away. Marly is coming home from a dance when she is chased by two men, one of them her stepfather. Both die and Marly is forced to start making plans to escape.

Thirteen years later, Vanessa is a sheriff's detective trying to solve the deaths of two people found in California. The dead turn out to be from the Harris family and her and her partner, Jack, are off to New York to investigate.

This is a great thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. Filled with powerful women who show their resilience and faith in each other. Don't miss this one! I'm already looking forward to Bickford's next novel!
