NYPD Detective Declan Shaw gets a call: How fast can you get to the Beresford building on Central Park West?
In the tower apartment, Shaw finds a woman waiting for him. She’s covered in blood. A body is lying dead on the floor of the luxurious living room.
Every book in the apartment’s floor-to-ceiling shelves is by the same author: bestselling true-crime writer Denise Morrow.
"This is you?" Shaw asks the woman. "You're a writer?"
Only one person knows the ending to this story. Is it the victim or the killer?
A true thriller!
Declan Shaw, an NYPD detective, is on the verge of ending his life by jumping in front of a train when he receives a call from his partner, Jarod Cordova. Cordova reports a new murder at the Beresford building on Central Park West.
The victim is Dr. David Morrow, a well-known cardiologist. His wife, Denise Morrow, a famous true crime writer, found the body and called 911, specifically requesting Detective Declan Shaw. When Declan arrives, Denise is covered in blood and holding a gun. Convinced she killed her husband, Declan believes it’s an open-and-shut case.
Not so fast—nothing is as it seems, and Declan soon realizes he knows far less than he thought.
The Writer is a fast-paced, intelligent thriller that kept my heart racing. I see a lot of J.D. Barker’s style in this one, having read and loved many of his books in recent years.
Is the ending unforgettable? Absolutely.
Did I like it? hmm
Did you?
Cliffhanger: No
4/5 Fangs
