ARC Review: A Painful Truth
I received this book to give an honest review.
I really loved book one Killing Katie so I was really happy when the author came out with a book two.
We see that Nerd and Amy have been a bit busy since the last story they are doing jobs off the Darknet which will bring in their income just not right away. They have set up a "legit" business. Though it doesn't help that Nerd has become very nervous with the jobs they are starting to take on. Especially one job that will either get Amy caught or will have her blackmailed.
While Amy is doing jobs and trying to keep her marriage going she learns that her past will be coming to haunt her very soon. Her husband should be doing desk work but instead has taken on a very cold case one that haunts Amy all the time. When he sees one item that is related to the cold case this is when everything starts slowing going down.
I loved the mystery surrounding it all, to even wondering if murdering is genetic that is something I thought about when reading this book. I feel the characters are well written and the pace of the story is steady. Now I have to say it was nice to see Amy get a bit jealous in this story, when it came to her husband and the new chick in his office.
I do recommend you read book one as to not only get a feel for who Amy is but to understand what has all happened to lead up to book two.
The only issue I had with this book is there is a scene that Amy says "we will have to kill him" (don't quote me word for word), but then we turn the page and there is a new chapter. All of a sudden she is going to kill the dude. How did they meet up? Did he pick her up in his car? Or did they meet somewhere? It all comes together in the end but those few pages had me scratching my head a bit.
