About:
A bad day at work. A drunken night. A rogue Instagram follow. That’s all it takes to ruin a life…but whose life will be ruined?
When Billie wakes up in a strange guy’s bed, her first thought is: What happened last night? She can’t even remember meeting him. And how the hell did she get to Coney Island?
Then reality bites and the memories flood in—the reason she was in that bar drinking to start with was because today she’s going to get fired. Yesterday, her law firm lost a high-profile assault case: Samuel Grange v Jane Delaney. And it looked like it was her fault.
It wasn’t.
Yet now Samuel Grange is free to drive off into the sunset in his Porsche and do it all again to another woman. And all Billie can think is: What about the next girl? And the one after that?
But there is nothing she can do to stop him.
Unless…She could expose the truth about him on her own. Then everyone would see what he is really like. She could make sure he’ll never be able to do it again.
The problem is, the only way to protect the next girl is to become the next girl.
And, well, that could be a little risky…even deadly.
Review:
Another fantastic book from Pip Drysdale. It moves at pace and I found myself reading it with an adrenaline rush. Billie never lets her guard down and you can feel the stress and tense in her throughout.
I read this on my kindle but I really wish I had the paperback so I could easily flip back and reread parts.
The story is intense, Billie is a paralegal who decides to solve her own case when the suspect gets away with rape by becoming the next girl for him to target. By putting herself in the firing line she realises when the suspect dies she is in the sights of the police too. She may run on high octane and not trust anyone but Billie is clever and can keep her calm when questioned, thinking of all the scenarios that could trip her up and navigating them perfectly.
The door is open for a sequel and I hope Pip decides to write more about Billie.
