about book: (from Goodreads)
Detective Elise King’s investigation into a woman’s murder is getting derailed by a reporter who insists on doing her own investigation in this nail-biting mystery from the author of Local Gone Missing.
When Karen Simmons is murdered on Valentine’s Day, Detective Elise King wonders if she was killed by a man she met online. Karen was all over the dating apps, leading some townspeople to blame her for her own death, while others band together to protest society’s violence against women. Into the divide comes Kiki Nunn, whose aggressive newsgathering once again antagonizes Elise.
A single mother of a young daughter, Kiki is struggling to make a living in the diminished news landscape. Getting a scoop in the Simmons murder would do a lot for her career, and she’s willing to go up against not just Elise but the killer himself to do it.
my thoughts:
Mystery thrillers are my new go-to when it comes to picking up a fun new read. I just love all the twists and turns, along with trying to figure out whodunit. Plus, the characters are always a bit sketchy and untrustworthy, which makes them even more fun to read about. Oh, and the murder mystery is always chock full of drama, suspense, and a bit of dark humor. So, I was really excited to get my hands on a copy of Fiona Barton's latest book, Talking To Strangers, her second in the Elise King series. It was such a great read! I found myself captivated right from the start and wound up reading late into the night, because I had to figure out what would happen next. And, I really enjoyed how Barton focused on three specific points of view to tell this story, which is more police procedural than action packed thriller. I felt like I was able to get to know these characters really well, which made me more invested in their stories and connections. I just really loved this book. Definitely makes me want to read more Barton.
I would happily recommend Talking To Strangers and Fiona Barton's works to anyone and everyone looking for their next great read - you will fall in love with Barton's writing. Make sure to grab a copy ASAP!

It's so nice when a book like this captivates you right from the start. Especially when you're coming out of a reading slump. I've never read any of Fiona Barton's books, but she sounds like an author I would like.
I think you would like her books. Definitely check her out when you can. I know, right? Sometimes you need something suspense-thrillerish to get you out of reading slump - the excitement, right?
