I am partway through Blind Date by Brenda Chapman. Ella Tate has been tipped off on the rape of a woman a source would like her to report on in her true crime podcast. Ella decides to look into it, but by the time she is on the case, the victim has already died by suicide (or homicide). Coincidentally, the victim lived in the apartment that Ella herself just moved out of two months earlier. Ella is determined to find out who is responsible for this heinous crime, but in doing so she may be putting her own life in danger. I already have several suspects as to who the killer might be. Ella had better watch her step! A good psychological suspense with shadows lurking in every corner! Bound to keep you turning the pages.
“I’m going to get help. You’re okay now. I won’t let any one hurt you anymore.”
Brenda Chapman, Blind Date
Summary
Nobody’s safe when a killer has you in their sights.
True crime podcaster Ella Tate is shaken to her core by the horrific assault and murder of Josie Wheatly, a teacher she has never met … because not only had Josie moved into Ella’s vacated apartment three months earlier, but her Facebook photos reveal a striking resemblance between the two women.
Within days, two people close to Ella are harmed, and she fears that she’s become the target of twisted revenge from her crime-reporting days. Reluctantly teaming up with her neighbour Tony, a hairdresser who loves the finer things in life, and Liam Hunter, the persistent detective assigned to the cases, Ella struggles to stay one step ahead before she becomes the target of the final kill.
