Crashing Down
Private Investigator Martina Monroe works for an organization that helps those women/children who are being stalked / abused by partners, etc. Her job has been her lifeline since her husband was killed a year ago.
Her last client couldn't be saved and Martina has turned more and more to the bottle. Not only is she jeopardizing her job... but maybe her life, as well.
She has a new client, a woman being stalked. She fears its someone sent by her abusive husband who is spending time in prison for attempted murder. Someone has been in her home ... and when she leaves the house, she feels someone watching.
If Martina doesn't get her act together, she may lose another client.
This is Martina's backstory ... when her loss was newer, and when she became a single mother and not convince she could do it all herself. Because of the nature of her job, she feels the need to show she can be everything to everyone ... and the heavy weight on her shoulders is destroying her.
The plot is well written, swirling around deftly drawn characters. It's a short read, barely over 100 pages, but its packed with action and emotion. I look forward to see if a new series is in the future.
Martina is in need of help.
I loved reading Martinas backstory. This is before she had her life together. She was grieving her husband who was killed and trying to single parent convinced she could do it all. She was trying to give 110% to her clients, be the perfect parent, and prove to the world she was coping.
When Martina loses a client she becomes hyper focused on her next clients safety while falling deeper and deeper into the bottle of alcohol she kept stashed with her at all times.
I received an arc of this book and voluntarily provided a review.

A thriller
Martina Monroe is a PI that was trying to rescue a battered wife, but was too late. She has a new cliente that has a stalker. The novel was a page turner for me. It has a heart racing conclusion.
