Tell No Lies (A Quinn & Costa Thriller, #2)

by Allison Brennan

[Quirky Cat]

Allison Brennan's Quinn & Costa Thriller continues in Tell No Lies. Though this is still a great starting point for new fans (myself included) as well.

Something horrible is happening in the mountains by Tucson. Wildlife is turning up dead at a prodigious rate. Right alongside that is the death of a young intern who set out to find the cause. Now it is up to Quinn and Costa to figure out what exactly is happening here.

A task easier said than done – as there is more than one horrendous crime taking place in this isolated location. The horrors they are about to face cannot be forgotten, but they can be stopped. But only if they act fast enough.

“As he dove back to the main road, he called 911. An ambulance met him in the closest town, Patagonia.
But by then Emma was already dead.”

Tell No Lies is an intense and surprisingly complex story, one that many thriller fans out there are sure to enjoy. The tale of these two agents and the case they were put on is fast-paced and very much not afraid to get a bit graphic at times, but that just adds to the impact of it all.

I know that Tell No Lies is actually the second novel in this series (Quinn & Costa Thriller), but I had no problem jumping in at this point. Detective Quinn and FBI Agent Costa make for a great team, and their adventures (so far) have been very approachable.

The mystery itself, as I already alluded to, was much more complex than I expected. I thought this would be a fun and quick thriller novel – I was wrong. This is one of those stories where humanity shows just how dark, twisted, and tangled it can get.

I loved Allison Brennan's writing style, and I am going to look forward to the next addition to this series. (I should probably go back and read the first one at some point, huh?).

Thanks to MIRA and #NetGalley for making this book available for review. All opinions expressed are my own.
