I hope you enjoyed my birthday last week! Some of the books in my birthday blog post will still be on sale, so head over and grab them while you can.
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.
If you’re looking for suspense, check out Hairpin Bridge by Taylor Adams. Protagonist Lena Nguyen is looking for answers in the death of her twin sister. She suspects police corporal Raycevic of being complicit in her death—even being the direct cause of it.
And there is definitely something going on with Raycevic. He is not all he seems to be. He is hiding some pretty big secrets and I’m not convinced that a single word that comes out of his mouth is the truth. Lena has her work cut out for her in sorting it all out.
I don’t think I’ve read anything else by Taylor Adams. I only see a couple of other books on Amazon. But I would definitely check out others.
Don’t get comfortable. Don’t let your guard down.
Taylor Adams, Hairpin Bridge
Not even for a second.
Three months ago, Lena Nguyen’s estranged twin sister, Cambry, drove to a remote bridge seventy miles outside of Missoula, Montana, and jumped two hundred feet to her death. At least, that is the official police version.
But Lena isn’t buying it.
Now she’s come to that very bridge, driving her dead twin’s car and armed with a cassette recorder, determined to find out what really happened by interviewing the highway patrolman who allegedly discovered her sister’s body.
Corporal Raymond Raycevic has agreed to meet Lena at the scene. He is sympathetic, forthright, and professional. But his story still seems a bit off. For one thing, he stopped Cambry for speeding just an hour before she supposedly leaped to her death. Then there are the sixteen attempted 911 calls from her cell phone, made in what was unfortunately a dead zone.
But perhaps most troubling of all, the state trooper is referred to by name in Cambry’s final enigmatic text to her sister: Please Forgive Me. Lena will do anything to uncover the truth. But as her twin’s final hours come into focus, Lena’s search turns into a harrowing tooth-and-nail fight for her own survival—one that will test everything she thought she knew about her sister and herself…
