Don't Even Breathe | Keith Houghton
5 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
From the bestselling author of Crash comes a riveting thriller rife with murder, misdirection, and ghosts from the past. Florida homicide detective Maggie Novak has seen hundreds of brutal murder cases, but when she is called out to investigate the charred remains of a young woman one Halloween night, she is confronted with a twenty-year-old secret. The body is formally identified as that of school counselor Dana Cullen, but a distinguishing mark makes Maggie look again. She believes it is the body of her school friend Rita, who perished in a fire twenty years ago. Maggie's hunt for the truth behind the murder takes her back to a cruel high school trick she's desperate to forget. And when another body turns up, Maggie realizes she too may be the target of a sinister plot creeping toward its final act. Maggie needs emotional distance to do her job, but she's so close to this case that she can't even breathe. Will Maggie be able to uncover the truth of who wanted Rita dead? Or will her past mistakes catch up with her first?

This book was hard to put down. The plot kept twisting and I wasn‘t expecting the ending! Definitely worth reading!

A pet hate of mine is authors who can‘t be bothered, or aren‘t able to, create a picture of how a character looks. Instead, they say the person resembles someone famous. Worse still, someone you don‘t know. In this case it‘s Forest Whitaker. I had to google.
Having got that out of the way, I must say there are other reasons to avoid this book. Read it for yourself and you‘ll find them. Or don‘t. I‘d recommend "don‘t”.

Zelma That does seem a little lazy. I also remember Dan Brown describing Robert Langdon as looking like Harrison Ford. I got the impression it was wishful thinking for the casting in future movies! 5y

Maggie Novak is a detective in Orlando. She is called out to a murder in the woods that is badly burned. She then finds out the victim is her friend from years ago that she thought had been dead for years. There is so many twists and turns in the novel. I can't wait to read more stories about Maggie Novak.
