Tess Gerritsen and Gary Braver pen a scandalous murder mystery with Choose Me! This book held me captive! I’m so glad I chose it as one of my amazon first reads.
​Rating: ★★★★★
​Release Date: July 1, 2021
Genre: Crime

Series: None. Complete Standalone. 
Pages: 290 pages
Format: eBook. Source: Amazon First Reads
From New York Times bestseller Tess Gerritsen and acclaimed thriller writer Gary Braver comes a sexy murder mystery about a reckless affair and dangerous secrets.
Taryn Moore is young, beautiful, and brilliant…so why would she kill herself? When Detective Frankie Loomis arrives on the scene to investigate the girl’s fatal plunge from her apartment balcony, she knows in her gut there’s more to the story. Her instincts are confirmed when surprise information is revealed that could have been reason enough for Taryn’s suicide—or a motive for her murder.
To English professor Jack Dorian, Taryn was the ultimate fantasy: intelligent, adoring, and completely off limits. But there was also a dark side to Taryn, a dangerous streak that threatened those she turned her affections to—including Jack. And now that she’s dead, his problems are just beginning.
After Frankie uncovers a trove of sordid secrets, it becomes clear that Jack may know the truth. He is guilty of deception, but is he capable of cold-blooded murder?

𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: Tess Gerritsen and Gary Braver pen a scandalous murder mystery with Choose Me! This book held me captive! I’m so glad I chose it as one of my amazon first reads.
 
_____________________
 
Wow! I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought it would! Normally I don’t read detective type thrillers because they just don’t interest me as much but this one worked so well! It’s a scandalous murder mystery/crime novel about a forbidden affair that leads to murder! There are twists, turns, and enough suspense to keep you riveted! This book is honestly a nonstop thrill ride, and I didn’t want to put it down! Sure, I had a few ideas as to who the killer was (and I was actually RIGHT when it was revealed in the end) but everything leading up to the reveal was so intriguing that I couldn’t stop reading. AH! I am so glad I took a chance on a new to me author (yup, I’ve never read a Tess Gerritsen book before) and I’m looking forward to reading many more in the future.
 
TRIGGER WARNINGS: Cheating, Potential Suicide
 
So, the book starts off with what appears to be a suicide but the notion of this slowly starts to unravel as one detective suspects there is more to the story than meets the eye. Frankie is a fantastic detective, and her instincts are spot on (if you enjoy police procedural type novels, you’ll love her). She knows that a college student with uneaten food in the microwave, textbooks open on a desk, and a missing cell phone don’t equal suicide and decides to look a little deeper into the victim’s life. What she finds isn’t what she thought it would… An affair between a college student and professor? An obsessive relationship? And honestly, so much more!
 
This book alternates between Tarryn’s, Frankie’s (the detective), and Jack’s point of views. Readers are able to get an in depth look at all the players and how everything starts and finishes. It’s an impressive read because it does go back and forth (before and after death) and gives us a lot of insight as to how everything happened. What lead up to the death, how everyone is involved, and even a few twists and turns readers won’t be expecting. It’s an overall fascinating and hard to put down read! I definitely recommend it to those who enjoy crime novels!
 
𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5 rounded up to 5)
