Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog. How are you all doing? I hope well!

Today I’m back with a review for you guys. Thank you to Harper Collins for sending me an e-copy of this book via Netgalley!

And now without further ado, let’s start with the actual post.

In all their years working for the Baywood police department, detectives A.L. McKittridge and Rena Morgan have never seen anything like it. Four women dead in forty days, each killed ten days apart. With the clock is already counting down to when the next body drops, A.L. and Rena will have to act fast if they’re going to find the killer’s next victim before he does. But identifying the killer’s next likely target is only half the battle. With pressure pushing in from all sides, a promising breakthrough leads the detectives to Tess Lyons, a woman whose past trauma has left her too damaged to appreciate the danger she’s in. Unwilling to let another woman die, A.L. and Rena will put everything on the line to keep Tess safe and end the killer’s deadly spree once and for all—before time runs out again.

What I liked

I loved the writing style. The sentences were short, precise and perfect for this genre. I didn’t need more. It was fast-paced, there were very helpful timestamps at the beginning of every chapter and the chapters weren’t too long. Ten Days Gone is a book that you can easily read in one sitting because you cannot put it down.

Another thing I liked was the romance. It wasn’t overwhelming and especially it didn’t take the focus away from the actual storyline. I’m usually no big fan of romance in mystery novels but here it was perfect because it was no major thing in the book.

From the beginning on you can guess with the detectives who the suspect might be. I loved that. Every single time I thought: Okay, it’s him/her. But no, every time I was wrong. The surprise is real and Beverly Long wrote that perfectly. I honestly can’t complain much about Ten Days Gone.

You should also know, that there are multiple POVs in this book. This is very helpful as we get to know the characters a bit better. Especially because it helps us to understand their reasonings and so on. I liked the fact that we got to know the background details of the characters and the details were not too much. Just the amount the reader needs.

What I didn’t like

The only thing I didn’t like so much was the ending. It was a great end but it felt very rushed. Everything came way too fast.

Overall, Ten Days Gone is a great thriller to read in one sitting. If you love the mystery/thriller genre and if you like to play the role of the detective then this is the perfect book for you!
