Week 43 Review: Three Drops of Blood

From Goodreads:
A Good Girls Guide to Murder meets Hitchcock in this novel from celebrated author Gretchen McNeil. A mundane office job takes a dark turn when a girl witnesses a double murder through the window.

Being an actress, Kate is no stranger to drama. And when her chance at a leading role gets cancelled, she is willing to do whatever it takes to get her acting career back on track even if that means getting a boring office job at her best friend's father's law firm so she can prove to her parents she can to support herself rather than go back to high school. Now, rather than living life on the big screen, she is stuck filing mundane contracts and watching the people in the office across from hers live their equally boring lives.

But when Kate sees things heat up between a woman and her assistant, her new source of entertainment take a turn for the worse when she witnesses a double murder. Now, she must get anyone to believe her and find out who this mystery woman is to get answers. But as she learns more and more about the circumstances leading to the gruesome act, she begins to realize there is a bigger mystery under the surface...

In this voyeuristic thriller filled with twists and turns, can Kate get anyone to believe her before she becomes the next victim?

My Review:
Of course I really enjoyed reading this book! I've enjoyed Gretchen McNeil's books from the beginning, and this latest one sounded fantastic, and it was, I had such a great time reading about Kate as she dealt with this whole situation!

What's mentioned in the synopsis doesn't happen until a fairly large portion of the book in. It really set up these characters and all the goings on, which was sprinkled in with clues as to what was going to happen, to figure it out, and I loved it! 

Accidentally witnessing a crime-but not being believed, yeah, that's a rough position to be in, especially since those that committed are not going to get locked up-and might come after you to ensure that they don't. Leave no witnesses and all that. Yeah, it's not a great position to be in!

This book really sticks the landing, that ending was pretty thrilling to read! All those reveals that came together, the big picture coming into focus, and man, the action! It was such a fantastic ending, though as always, I would've loved a bit more! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Gretchen McNeil!
