Book Review: Dead Inside (DC Maggie Jamieson #1) by Noelle Holten

Dead Inside (Maggie Jamieson Crime Thriller, #1)
Title: Dead Inside (DC Maggie Jamieson #1) 

Author: Noelle Holten

Star: 5

Review:
Dead Inside is a dark that the author is able to use her former employment as a way to direct the story.  It isn't a pretty story in fact at times the story is uncomfortable to read. Just like life Painful at times and almost unbearably.
Domestic abuse isn't a easy topic add in murder and mystery as a start a new series let alone a duet novel isn't easy but Noelle Holten does a great job.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Killer Readers for the Advance copy of Noelle Holten Dead Inside.

When three domestic abuse offenders are found beaten to death, DC Maggie Jamieson knows she is facing her toughest case yet.
