She read

The scream of a teenager covered in blood interrupts a retirement celebration Detective Madison Knight is attending. The girl claims her friends are dead and a red-eyed devil was the culprit. Unbeknownst to any of their parents, the girl had been camping with four friends and filming a horror movie. 

Madison discovers the bodies of twin boys and one girl in their tent. The sister of the deceased girl is missing, and the race is on to find the murderer and the missing girl. 

This suspenseful and fast-paced page-turner keeps readers guessing. The riveting plot features red herrings, unexpected twists, and characters that linger in the mind. It’s tense and disturbing, yet laced with camaraderie and caring.

This is the tenth and, unfortunately, final installment in the Detective Madison Harper series. I recently discovered this author and have only read four of the ten. While it works as a standalone, the main characters, who are damaged individuals striving to do their best, have backstories that are alluded to but not fully explained. While this doesn’t interfere with the enjoyment of this book, it does leave the reader wanting to know more about their histories.  

Thanks to @NetGalley and @Bookouture for the DRC.
