Fatal - John Lescroart
She read
I have enjoyed John Lescroart’s Dismas Hardy series through the years and wanted to read this standalone that has been on my TBR for a long time.
Kate and Ron appear to have a happy marriage, but when Kate meets Peter, it sets off sparks in her and she pursues him for a one time encounter. Seemingly unrelated but with long residual impacts, Kate and her best friend, Beth, a police officer, are caught in a terrorist attack and both injured.
Time passes, healing occurs, and when Peter is found murdered, it falls to Beth and her partner to find the culprit. There are suspects galore.
This is a book about obsession and consequences. I’m still not sure how the terrorist attack fit in except as a study in long term effects of trauma and also inserting the concept of reassessing one’s life as a result. It is an engrossing read with red herrings, subplots, some very likable characters and some that are not.
Thanks to #NetGalley and #AtriaBooks for the DRC.
