Book Review: If Looks Could Kill (Frankie Sheehan #3) by Olivia Kiernan

Hi Cara,

Today on my blog I am reviewing If Looks Could Kill. This is book 3 in the Frankie Sheehan series by Olivia Kiernan. The other books in the series are;

  1. Too Close to Breathe
  2. The Killer in Me.

 

Synopsis

DCS Frankie Sheehan is experiencing a crisis of confidence - having become wary of the instincts that have led her face-to-face with a twisted killer and brought those she loves into direct jeopardy.

She is summoned to the rural Wicklow mountains, where local mother of two, Debbie Nugent, has been reported missing. A bloody crime scene is discovered at Debbie's home, yet no body. Not only is foul play suspected, but Debbie's daughter, Margot, has been living with scene for three days.

Aware her team cannot convict Margot on appearances alone, Sheehan launches a full investigation into Debbie Nugent's life. And, before long, the discrepancies within Debbie's disappearance suggest that some families are built on dangerous deceptions, with ultimately murderous consequences.

Opinion

If Looks Could Kill, is like reading a crime documentary TV show in a fiction book. 

DCS Frankie Sheehan is investigating a case where a woman is missing but her home shows that no one could survive that attack. 

If the case was on its own, it would be interesting. But the more they investigate the more comes to light. Taken the case in a direction that I didn't expect when I started reading. When I finished If Looks Could Kill I couldn't stop thinking about it and trying to think back to the beginning and seeing what a missed the first time round.

 

Overall I enjoyed the mystery, the investigation and the people. If Looks Could Kill is a great book for any crime mystery fans.

 

My Rating for If Looks could Kill is 4.5 out of 5.
