Like Father Like Daughter by Christina Morgan

Like Father Like Daughter has an opening scene that makes you want to devour this book. While I did not read it in one sitting it was close. The main character of Elizabeth “Libby” was so good. She was flawed in all the right ways and sometimes I just wanted to strangle her for making poor decisions. To me, things like this make a book a great read and not just a good read.

Libby Carter wakes up with a pounding headache to find her husband lying dead next to her. She cannot remember a thing about the previous evening.  Though her marriage was not perfect she loved her husband. She would never kill him. Would she?

The local police are convinced that she did it and the evidence is starting to point her way. The detective handling the case is not even looking for another suspect. Once charges are filed against Libby and she makes bail, she decides to take matter into her own hands.  No one else is looking for the killer so she must uses all she wits to figure out who else might have wanted him dead.

Everything Libby discovers just leads to another dead end and she starts to doubt herself. Maybe she is the killer?  Yet, deep down she knows she is not like her father. A man, now spending life in prison, who admitted killing multiple women over a period of years. If she did not kill her husband who did and why is there someone following her?

Another great fast paced crime thriller. If you are a lover of thrillers, this is one to add to your to-be-read list. The character develop was excellent and the story is very realistic. As I stated earlier, the character of Libby is the best part of the book. She does some very stupid things just like what happens in real life. This made she character believable.

I received a free copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.
