DianeElizabethTaylor reviewed Tell Me Her Name by Kate Wiley (Margot Phalen FBI Series, #1)
A Darkly Addictive New Chapter!
5 stars
Margot Phalen is back with a bang in this chilling series opener that immediately pulled me into the abyss. Margot’s uncanny ability to ellicit secrets from the world’s most depraved serial killers is more than a skill, it’s a dangerous necessity as she faces her most harrowing case yet. The atmosphere is suffocatingly tense and as Margot inches toward the truth, the darkness around her thickens. With her past resurfacing to haunt her and her sanctuary with Wes and their menagerie under direct threat, the stakes feel lethally high. Margot remains a powerhouse of empathy and stubborn grit, and I was rooting for her as the shadows of doubt closed in. While the ending is tied up as neatly as a gift-wrapped box of kibble, the lingering sense of unease leaves the door wide open for the next instalment. A haunting, masterfully written page-turner! My thanks to Netgalley and …
