“Revolver Road” by Christi Daugherty

This mystery is the third in a series featuring newspaper reporter Harper McClain, and I’ve enjoyed them all. The setting is Savannah, Georgia, U.S.A. I don’t often read crime fiction set in the U.S. but this series beguiled me with characters that continue to develop. It adds to the atmosphere when there are alligators in the mudflats.

Harper starts by investigating a story about a musician’s disappearance, while also continuing her search to find out who killed her own mother. There’s lots of action and relatable characters. Harper is smart, courageous, and independent, and the author is an expert in keeping the reader in suspense.

If you’re interested in the series I suggest you start with the first one The Echo Killing so you’re familiar with the back story.
