"Take Her Breath Away", by Melinda Woodhall

                                              


A Detective Nessa Ainsley

Novella #2

This is another quick read revealing more about the earlier life of Nessa Ainsley, one favourite character we often see investigating gruesome cases in the Mercy Harbor and Veronica Lee series.

Nessa lives in Rosewood, Georgia with her husband and new born son when this second chilling novella opens. The body of a young woman in found in the woods and Nessa upon investigating soon discovers a serial killer has been stalking working girls in the town’s red-lights district.....Nessa is determined to get to the bottom and catch the killer before he strikes again.

This little mystery is a twisted tale filled with deadly moves, provides an exciting build-up and within its 80 pages some short lived action. It is not hard not to say that “Take Her Life” is a page-turner but as in any novella the conclusion comes way too fast and leaves you wanting more.

I received a free copy of this book and I leave a voluntary review, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
