I am always a fan of crime dramas and murder mysteries--so the latest book from Tressa Messenger was right up my alley. I have participated in a couple of book promo blasts for this author--but, had not yet read one of her books. What did I think of Too Close to Home by Tressa Messenger?I received a complimentary copy of this book for use in my review. All opinions are my own.
Quick Summary of Too Close to Home. When the body of a beautiful and popular senior head cheerleader, Melissa Cooley, is found brutally stabbed to death at the local high school it sends the small coastal community in North Carolina into a frenzy. To make matters worse…another body is found. A slacker boy by the name of Ronald Marks is found hanging from the field goal post on the football field only a day later. Pamlico County native Detective Carma Jones, and her partner Harold Green, set out on a search for this ruthless assailant who is wrecking havoc in a normally peaceful community. No one is safe and everyone is a suspect. The twists and turns along the way lead them in a direction Carma would’ve never guessed. One filled with deep secrets that were meant to stay buried…
Quick, Easy to Read Page Turner. Too Close to Home is a really quick read--but, it does keep readers guessing to the last pages. The text and dialogue are simple and easy to follow and the author does a nice job keeping the plot flowing well without solving the mystery too soon.
Would I recommend Too Close to Home. While the book didn't have the ending I hoped, I did really like being caught up in a mystery that offered some twists and turns. It appears that this is book one to a series, The Forensic Files, from Messenger, so fans of simple murder mysteries may have a new author to follow.
