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.
