REVIEW: Karen McQuestion has penned a winner!

I have to say any book that uses my name has to be one of my favorite books. I was reading 214 Palmer Street by Karen McQuestion when a character came to my attention by the name of Grace Pisanelli! I remembered her telling me she was going to name a character after me but, I had forgotten. The time between books and my age may have had something to do with that. I remember my husband asked me at the time if Karen was going to use my first name or my last. I didn’t know. Well…he is very happy that his family name is in the book. I am honored to be called Grace. Thank you Karen! That was a special moment I won’t forget.

On to the book. I couldn’t figure out where the book was going and I just had to keep reading. I don’t often read the synopsis beforehand so, sometimes I am a little bit blind. The book has several twists and turns. I wasn’t sure which one was going to be the beginning of the end. I enjoyed the story line a lot! I kept wondering what each character was up to. This is one of those books you just have to keep reading. You have several characters you think may have done a dirty deed and several that you knew were totally innocent. You do need to watch out for those that look innocent. They may be the guilty one!

The character development was spot on. You have the hotsy totsy woman that flirts with all the men. There is the police chief, the loving and doting husband, the old lady that is not very tech or safety savy and the innocent wife and the high school friend that ran away years ago. They are perfectly developed to play their parts. Some of them will surprise you. 

If you love a good Psychological Suspense, then this book is for you. If you’re not sure if this genre is for you, give this one a try. I think the story has many facets that you will like and you might find yourself hooked. I have enjoyed every book that Karen has written and 214 Palmer Street is right up there with the best of them. I loved it!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from #Netgalley, #Bookouture and #KarenMcQuestion. All opinions expressed are completely my own.
