Next Girl to Die was a thrilling start to the Calderwood Cases series by new author Dea Poirier. Next Girl to Die takes place in a small town in Maine. Homicide detective Claire Calderwood returns to her hometown to help them solve the recent murder of one of the town’s teenage girls. The murder is similar to the murder of Claire’s older sister 20 years earlier, which was never solved. Claire meets a journalist, Noah who beings as a pain in her ass but ends up being an important ally.

The book was well written, and I didn’t want to put it down, unfortunately I had to eat, sleep and work. Dea’s description of the situations made you feel like you were there. Claire was easy to relate to as a sister who would do anything to avenge her sister. Claire is a strong character who ends up not only helping a town try and solve a murder but also ends up getting some closure for herself. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

I give this book 4/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Next Girl to Die is available May 1, 2019
