First Chapter Review: SILENT LITTLE ANGELS by Jennifer Chase #firstchapterreview

 


Thanks for visiting Literarily Speaking! Today's post is a first chapter review for SILENT LITTLE ANGELS, Jennifer Chase's latest crime thriller. First, a little about the book....



The water ripples as the girl’s body escapes the reeds and floats silently upwards. Her beautiful face—blue eyes frozen open, skin as white as snow—breaks the surface. But it’s too late, this innocent soul has taken her final breath…

When camp counselor Carolyn Sable’s body is found floating in a lake beside Eagle Ridge Summer Camp, Detective Katie Scott must dig deep to stay focused. As a child, Katie spent many happy weeks at that camp toasting marshmallows on the fire with her best friend Jenny… until the day Jenny disappeared. The loss will always haunt Katie, but Carolyn’s inconsolable family need answers.

Searching the area, the devastating discovery of two more bodies sends the case into a tailspin. Suddenly on the hunt for a serial killer, Katie’s blood turns to ice when she finds newspaper clippings about her own past cases planted near one of the bodies. Was this twisted killer banking on Katie taking the lead? And why?

Carolyn was adored by children and staff at the camp, so Katie thinks her sudden resignation is key to cracking the case. Uncovering a tragic accident involving a group of children in the weeks before Carolyn left, Katie knows she’s getting close.

But when the carefully laid trap Katie sets to catch Carolyn’s killer backfires, Katie finds herself in unthinkable danger and unable to even trust her own team. Can she stay alive long enough to crack the toughest case of her career, and how many more innocent lives will be lost before she does?

An absolutely unputdownable crime thriller from a USA Today and Amazon bestselling author. Fans of of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh will be sleeping with the lights on!

FAVORITE QUOTE FROM FIRST CHAPTER:

BOOK COVER:

I don't know about you all but every cover that comes from Jennifer Chase's camp is above superior. Jennifer is no stranger to penning books and the cover for Silent Little Angels goes beyond my expectations as it should do for you. I wonder if the dragon fly has any significance?

FIRST CHAPTER REVIEW:

 
Immediately we are taken to the scene of the crime. A young girl lies motionless in the reeds. You can feel the power of the author's wordsmanship (is that a word?) as we visualize the scene in front of us as it has already kabolted us into the story. As it turns out, the young girl was the camp counselor at a camp that Detective Katie Scott used to attend as a young girl herself. Talk about too close to home. Then two more bodies show up. And here's the weird part. Clippings from Katie's past cases shows up beside the dead girls. Weird huh? It's like the killer is teasing the detective and wanting her in particular to be involved with this case. Chilling!
 

KEEP READING?

I will definitely definitely definitely definitely keep reading!
