Charlie Donlea is always a great author for me to read when I’m needing a solid palate cleanser. I know I’m going to get a well written thriller with plenty of interwoven story lines and plenty of suspense. Her Empty Eyes was no exception!
It’s been 10 years since Alex Armstrong’s family was murdered and she was convicted by the public as a murderer. She’s spent the last 10 years avoiding the media and rebuilding some semblance of a normal life. Now as legal investigator she’s stumbled upon a case that has connections to her family’s murder, and she’s determined to get to the bottom of what really happened all those years ago.
With plenty of twists and turns, this had me hooked from the start. I felt for Alex throughout the whole story and my rage at the ‘Press’ just increased with every page I read. Told from a few different perspectives, Donlea as usual has woven in multiple story lines into one page turning story. I would love to see Alex as a returning character in Donlea’s books and completely recommend for anyone needing a solid mystery to immerse yourself into.
Bonus – it’s currently available on KindleUnlimted which you can check out HERE.
