PI Alison Greene is struggling to support her investigative business, but as she suddenly is requested to trace a missing girl, her case may relate to an ongoing investigation of the local police busy to find out dozen of cases of young women who disappeared through the years. It´s when Alison meets DS Felix, an experienced policeman with a heavy burder of grief.
Flight or Fight by N.L.Craig is a very atmospheric psychological thriller. From the first pages, we are entering a gloomy ambiance where a voice in off is watching threatening. But one doesn´t know where is he hiding and when it will hit again. Until then, we are shared daily details from the life of the main characters and nothing seems unusual. But then there is a new warning that may take us out of our ´business as usual´.
There are new information and takes on old and new cases we are introduced to, unfolding as a spider´s web taking the reader in all all possible directions. This makes it very difficult to predict the outcome, also because Alison herself is misguided for a very long time. I was 86% into the story and still unable to see an end in sight. And when it happened, the reasons and the culprit were all there waiting to be noticed.
Although I would have love to stay more into this book - but hopefully there is more to come - I appreciated the twists and the deep insights into trauma and grief. The plot is built with very much attention to details that are guiding the reader to the unexpected ending.
A special note of appreciation to the cover, which is a perfect illustration of the psychological twists one may experience reading this book.
Rating: 4 stars
