"Break Her Heart", by Melinda Woodhall




This novella ends a thrilling series although Nessa has been quite active in Ms. Woodhall other series I just plain hate to see her go. She was the star player investigating numerous gruesome cases and following her solving the cases was a joy to read.

In “Break Her Heart” Nessa partners with the Atlanta police to hunt down a violent predator known as the Eastside Ripper. In her investigation Nessa uncovers links between the Ripper and a young woman fighting for her life at Rosewood General Hospital and the body of another woman discovered in Rosewood. How many more will they find?....and the hunt is on.

This is a fast-paced and exciting read. In a short period of time Nessa accomplishes miracles. In a novella you need to get to the point fast and not pussy-foot around. This story gives it all: an exciting story, with lots of suspense, plenty of twists and turns and great characters playing roles to a tee and most of all a plotline that has us glued to every word from the opening pages till we reach a very satisfying conclusion. Ms. Woodhall knows how to pen a wonderful story without embellishing it with decorative details.

But as in any novella, the thrill is too short 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.
