I’ve read a lot of twisted family drama reads in my time, but nothing that quite compares to this
outsider’s view. None of the family members actually play a narrating part in Hill’s newest edition to theHester Thursby Mystery Series, my first foray into this series. Instead, we are graced with “associate”family member Maxine, Police Sargent Angela, librarian Hester and college student Barret. Oddgrouping, right? I thought so too, but it made for an insatiable story as they all tied together.
The dynamic between the three women, Hester, Maxine and Angela, and their respective roles in thestory worked so well together with Barrett providing the glue that tied all these women to the plotanchoring this story, one surrounding a family-owned for-profit college. As a first-time reader of a bookin this series, I thought Watch Her read adequately well as a standalone. There is certainly some background and history between our lead women but nothing that detracting from the whollyencompassing twists and turns encountered within. Hill expertly navigates through the complexities ofthis mystery as readers crawl toward an explosive ending.
