Big Bad, by Christian Galacar
Damaged FBI agent with daddy issues, sister issues, and drug issues investigates her sister's murder.
Rude Human Press, 2019, 488 pages
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo meets the small-town atmosphere of Stephen King...
From the twisted imagination of best-selling author Christian Galacar comes a dark mystery thriller about the difference between living the stories we’re given and living the stories we dare to make for ourselves.
At the height of a blizzard, Molly Rifkin goes missing in her small New England community of Rockcliffe Island. But when she is found dead of an apparent suicide, the story doesn’t add up. There are more questions than answers. And there are those who would like to see the whole thing just go away.
But it won’t be that easy...
Molly’s sister is FBI agent Emma Shane, who has been hanging on to her career by a thread. But when her sister turns up dead under suspicious circumstances, she is forced to confront the horrific past they once shared in order to discover the truth of her death - and the course of her own future.
As Emma digs deeper into the mystery on Rockcliffe Island, she finds herself coming face-to-face with corruption, murder, and two of the island's most powerful and dangerous families.
An overwritten novel with decent twists but too many flashbacks.
My complete list of book reviews.
