Dead Perfect - Noelle Holten

 Dead Perfect - Noelle Holten

She read

This is the third of the DC Maggie Jamieson series; it is the first one I have read. Maggie’s friend,  forensic psychologist Kate Moloney is being stalked.  When a young woman who has been made up to look like Kate turns up dead, it becomes evident that she is in danger and Maggie sometimes blurs professional lines in trying to protect her friend and solve the case.  


This is a decent police procedural/thriller, although Maggie was a bit too flighty for me and the resolution was somewhat predictable. It is a well paced, fast read that held my attention throughout.  


I’m sure if I had read the prior novel, it would have given me more background on the characters, but they were developed enough in this novel that it can easily be read as a standalone.  It ends with the set up for a sequel and although Maggie is not my favorite female character, I certainly will read it.
