Brenda's Reviews > A Killer's Daughter

Well!! This would have to be the best psychological thriller I’ve read in a long time!

Dr Nadine Finch had been called in to create a profile on the killer in the latest murders along the Florida coastline, two murders of a young couple, joined together in eternity by a rope. But the horror Nadine felt wasn’t just at the senseless deaths of these two people; the familiarity of the crime took her back to her childhood in a terrifying fashion. But Nadine’s mother was on death row, unable to hurt anyone anymore…

Detective Clint Demko was newly arrived in the area and when he and Nadine partnered to solve the case, neither told the other of their pasts. Nadine was used to trusting no one – no reason why she would change now. But when another two bodies were found, the alarming similarities shocked Nadine to her core. Much as she didn’t want to, she obtained permission to visit her mother – Nadine hoped she would give her some answers. But nothing had changed – evil, sadistic, rotten to the core. Nadine wasn’t sure why she’d bothered.

When Nadine’s home was targeted, the FBI were finally called in. What would be the outcome in this deadly dance? More bodies – she needed answers! Her profile was so close…

A Killer’s Daughter is the 1st in the Nadine Finch series by Jenna Kernan and it was brilliant!! I had the perpetrator picked early – but I was wrong. My 2nd guess was also wrong! When the reveal came, I was shocked! I hadn’t seen that coming. Although almost 400 pages in length, I flew through them with twists, chills, suspicions – what an excellent psychological thriller! Looking forward to #2. Highly recommended.

With thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for my digital ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.
