Killer Revenge

Killer Revenge is Rosemary at her most devious, and Abby Bradshaw pays the price for it. She comes to Hope Ridge hoping for a quiet reset, and instead the town practically tackles her with chaos the moment she steps on her sister's porch. Cops, shady neighbors, and a double homicide she never saw coming. So much for a relaxing break. I felt so bad for poor Abby throughout this book.

What makes this one hit is the constant tension. Rosemary keeps you guessing about everyone — who’s lying, who’s manipulating, and whether Abby is being targeted or pulled into something bigger than she realizes. It’s paranoia done right.

And that ending? Freaking shocking as all hell. One of those twists that makes you rethink everything you thought you had figured out.

Killer Revenge is the kind of thriller that keeps you suspicious of every character and fiercely protective of Abby the whole way through, but should you be? You have to read to find out!!

Aaaagghhh! “Killer Revenge” by Rosemary Willhide, the third book in the Hope Ridge Mystery series, was intense from start to finish. This story had me holding my breath more than once! Just when I thought I had everything figured out—bam!—another twist hit. The pacing is fast, the suspense is nonstop, and the tension never lets up. Rosemary Willhide knows exactly how to keep readers guessing. I’ve truly loved every book in this series, and this one was a thrilling way to continue the ride.

Abby Bradshaw is an overworked and underappreciated assistant to one of the most prestigious book editors in NYC. However, like any good worker she needs a break and decides to spend the summer in Hoper Ridge with her sister. However, when she arrives in Hope Ridge, things aren't exactly how she had expected. Around every corner is a struggle and something else seems to go wrong. She has the misfortune of meeting her sister's neighbor from across the street and things only go worse from there. Abby is thrust into a web of lies and deceit that small towns are excellent at cultivating. Abby must figure out who is actually pulling the strings and causing all the problems before it's too late.

This is my second book by Rosemary and it definitely won't be my last. The characters are fun and lively and I found myself really getting into the story and enjoying watching it all unfold. I have a tendency to start to skim a bit when the story drags and I stayed focused on this one all the way through.

Definitely a book I'd highly recommend!
