You know Caitlin Rother as an investigative journalist and true crime expert who has brought you books that I've reviewed here (Death on Ocean Boulevard, Dead Reckoning, Body Parts, and Down to the Bone). Now, experience her fiction writing as she releases the first in her Katrina & Goode thriller series, Hooked.
Returning from a recent surfing trip, homicide detective Ken Goode steps into a bar and sits down next to an attractive young woman named Katrina. Their getting-to-know-you conversation is promptly interrupted by a call, and Ken learns two bodies have been discovered at the affluent La Jolla Farms neighborhood. Vacation over.
The next time they meet, Katrina Chopin has been assigned to report on Ken's case: the mysterious deaths of a well-known doctor and his daughter for the Sun-Dispatch. As they work this case, their attraction grows, and they quickly discover that powerful people don't want this case solved.
Hooked is a superb title for this thrilling and relentless pursuit through the city's underbelly, where wealth and power lead to murder. Rother's police procedural will have you turning page after page as Katrina and Goode deliver the story from their distinct points of view. Sharing a common past, these two are unexpectedly drawn together into a world where all is not as it seems.
I can see a lot of Rother's riveting style from her true crime stories within the pages of Hooked. The main difference is that the reader must follow along with the investigation, watching it unfold piece by piece to an explosive conclusion, rather than knowing who the culprit is upfront.
If you're looking for a high-stakes detective thriller with a hint of romance, order your copy of Hooked today!
