Happy Tuesday everyone!
This week’s pick is:
No Man Left Behind (Iris Williams & Annette Toni)
R.G. Miller
Police Procedural, Thriller
Kindle
Published 7/24/2017
I received this book in 2018 as a Goodreads giveaway. The short blurb grabbed my attention immediately!
“He lurks in the abandon subway tunnel under New York City. An Ex-Marine who was left to die in the steaming jungles of Vietnam in 1975 by his commanding officer.
Homicide Detective Iris Williams had thought she seen it all until she and her partner and lover Detective Annette Toni are called in to investigate a horrific murder of an entire family. The case becomes a nightmare for the detectives as they crawl deeper and deeper into the mind of a man that the media is calling, THE PIGGYBACK KILLER.”
I found a spot for it right away in the reading challenge I was completing that year, the prompt: A book with a LGBTQ+ protagonist. This book really did have everything in it for me. I love the characters, Homicide Detectives Iris Williams and Annette Toni. Who doesn’t love a powerful, smart, beautiful lead woman?! How about two!? As a girl I wanted to become a homicide detective myself, actually full disclosure I wanted to work for the FBI in the BAU. Thanks Clarice Starling! 🤣 I was even enrolled at Saint Cloud State University with a major in Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology; but life takes their own turns sometimes.
Anyway… so I have a proclivity towards books with strong female detectives, special agents, or private investigators. I’m sure you have seen a trend. If you like those brutal, graphic murder thrillers like The Silence of the Lambs, like I do, then you will enjoy this one too.
