Title: Desperate Girls (Wolfe Security #1)

Author: Laura Griffin

Stars: 4 

Review:
This is a difficult book to categorize, is it a thriller, police procedural, or modern day love story? Or is it a great combination of all the above? Well I cast my vote for the latter. I was fully connected to the story from the first chapter until the last. I followed along closely and was still surprised at who ended up as one of the bad guys.

I have rated this book 4 stars and would recommend it to anyone else who likes any of the three mentioned categories.

Thank you Frank for your review.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased opinion.

Synopsis:
Defense attorney Brynn Holloran is right at home among cops, criminals, and tough-as-nails prosecutors. With her sharp wit and pointed words, she has a tendency to intimidate, and she likes it that way. She’s a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom, but in her personal life, she’s a mess.

When a vicious murderer she once helped prosecute resurfaces and starts a killing spree to wipeout those who put him behind bars, one thing becomes clear: Brynn needs to run for her life.

When the police come up empty-handed, Brynn turns to a private security firm for protection. But when she defies advice and gets involved in the investigation, even the former Secret Service agent assigned to protect her may not be able to keep her safe. With every new clue she discovers, Brynn is pulled back into the vortex of a disturbing case from her past.

As the clock ticks down on a manhunt, Brynn’s desperate search for the truth unearths long-buried secrets and reignites a killer’s fury.
