Not Really Dead: A totally heart-stopping serial killer thriller novella (Tess Winnett), my fifth read from author Leslie Wolfe. I own 20 other books by this author & after reading this one they've just moved higher on my TBR list. A well-written enjoyable serial killer ihriller. “I received a free Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I look forward to reading more from this author and in particular other books in this series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018). It was a short story... (less than 100 pages), but I knew it was a novella going into it. I felt because of that though, that the story was rushed. The usual twists and turns that this series usually has, had also gone missing. Overall I will have to say that it was just okay, and fans of the series will enjoy it for who and what it is. This was a fast paced short story that packed a punch! This was my first time reading this author and I was quite surprised that she grabbed my attention so quickly! From the first chapter onward to the last chapter the story builds in crescendo and just delivers attachable characters right along with it! A little backstory for you readers: A psycho serial killer is on the loose that the FBI has dubbed the "Word Killer" as he loves to carve certain words in his victims. FBI agent, Tess Winnett, is hot on his trail even though the case is not really her case to be working, but she is like a "dog with a bone" and will not let it go as she wants to solve the case herself. With the help of a couple of friends she starts to put the pieces of the puzzle together especially when she finds out that one of the victims didn't die in the latest attack, so she starts chomping down on the bit a little harder to see if she can get the case solved before anyone else dies. I love Tess Winnett as she is a go-getter along with grit and attitude! Nothing will stand in her way of getting the job done even if it means stepping on toes to get there! I have a few more of this author's works on my kindle so I am going to start reading some more of these stories that contain "Tess" as I want to see what "baddie" she brings down next! Four stars for this one! It was a real pleasure connecting with FBI Agent Tess Winnett after a twelve month break - I've missed her. "Not Really Dead" started with a bang and, in usual Leslie Wolfe style, continued at a cracking pace. I must say I am extremely fond of Tess and it was great seeing her back in action. She is a terrific protagonist! I also liked that Donovan had a bigger role to play in this story although Detectives Gary Michowsky and Todd Fradella were MIA, which was a shame because I always enjoy the interactions Tess has with these two men. The last page was a bit of a letdown but my biggest disappointment was the fact that "Not Really Dead" was less than 100 pages long when I wanted (needed) another full-length Tess Winnett novel! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
