Hazel Best is a constable, so when she sees a young man she's already put in jail once getting argumentative with a man on transit, she steps in. He's drawn a knife and she gets his attention and then asks for the knife. He hesitates but he gives it to her. As they all get off at the next stop, the man she saved thanks her for her help. She assumes that's the end of that but she's so wrong...
Severn House and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published May 1st.
First she finds flowers on her porch. Then candy. She finds the man again and tells him if he's trying to thank her through presents to please stop. She can't accept things like that. He tells her it wasn't him. Then she starts getting envelopes of pictures. Of her. She doesn't see anyone watching her, so it spooks her.
Then the young man who harassed the man is found dead. His gang blames it on the rival gang but they don't kill people. Whoever attacked him did if from behind and then continued beating him. It was a crime of passion.
Next is a female journalist that freelanced articles. That leads Hazel to a businessman known for doing dirty business. He says he never killed anybody.
As she tries to make sense of these crimes, her stalker is working his way up to frenzy.
This is a good mystery with a hidden killer in the midst of their small community. Despite having friends who try to keep her safe, she's not. And now she has to defend them...
