I’m a law enforcement professional in my daily life, and yet thrillers are my favorite genre, #murderino. I say that, because I’m normally pretty good at picking out the whodunnit long before the book ends. I never would have seen this one coming, even if I had an entire career behind me. Nancy Bush, you sly fox, I’m so glad that you have an entire catalogue that I can now go back to.
The book starts out with a scene from high school...the main character Jamie gets invited to a senior class party, as a sophomore, by her crush! Jamie already has plans to babysit, and she begs her sister Emma to babysit in her stead. Emma was also planning to go to the party, but decides to switch off after the kids are asleep so Jamie can make an appearance. However, Emma is attacked by an intruder, and left with severe developmental issues for the rest of her life. When their mother dies, it’s up to Jamie and her daughter Harley to come back home and take care of her sister, who still has nightmares of the attack. When Jamie moves back, repeat crimes are committed...is this a resurgence of the Babysitter Stalker?
This was an engaging read for me. I really liked Jamie, Harley, and Emma as characters, and I was a little sad to leave their lives when I finished the book. Pick this one up if you’re looking for a midsummer breezy read!
