Hi,
The review on my blog took me back to the crime fiction genre. The Killer in Me is the second book in Olivia Kiernan, Frankie Sheehan series.
A deadly past refuses to stay buried in Olivia Kiernan’s masterful new novel
Death is no stranger to Detective Chief Superintendent Frankie Sheehan, but she isn’t the only one from her small, coastal suburb to be intimately acquainted with it. Years ago, teenager Seán Hennessey shocked the tight-knit community when he was convicted of the brutal murder of his parents and attempted slaying of his sister, though he always maintained his innocence.
Now, Seán is finally being released from prison—but when his newfound freedom coincides with the discovery of two bodies, the alleged connection between the cases only serves to pull Frankie further from answers even as it draws her closer to her town’s hidden darkness.
With a television documentary revisiting Seán’s sentence pushing the public’s sympathies into conflict on a weekly basis, a rabid media pressuring the police like never before, and a rising body count, Frankie will need all of her resources if she is not only to catch a killer, but put to rest what really happened all those years ago.

The Killer in Me is a crime thriller that questions arr Killer born or made?
Olivia has created a great dynamic team in Frankie and Baz. All the ream really. I liked how they work together and have each other back. It was also good to see that not all police officer do the right thing but the ones that are good are really good. Also, I like that Baz feeds Frankie as he knows she would forget.
The Killer in Me has two cases, a current case and an old closed case under investigation. It was interesting looking into the closed case and questioning the evidence, it had some surprising moments.
The main case is the standard mystery who done it with a twist as the bodies are staged. Olivia is great at building the evidence in an interesting way that ground the case in reality. As it’s hard and time-consuming work.
The Killer in Me is an easy and quick read. The writing style is the type you can pick up and get lost in it straight away.
There are some political elements in The Killer in Me which could impact Frankie. It’s will be interesting to see how this plays out in future books.
My Rating for The Killer in Me is 3.8 out of 5.
