Poisonous
Poisonous: A Novel | Allison Brennan
2 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
Teen-aged Internet bully Ivy Lake fell off a cliff and few people cared ... except her mentally-challenged eighteen-year-old step-brother, Tommy. He loved her in spite of her cruelty. He's distraught and doesn't understand why his blended family is falling apart. After a year, the police still have no answers: Ivy could have jumped, could have been pushed, or it could have been an accident. With too many suspects and not enough evidence, the investigation has grown cold. Tommy thinks that if someone can figure out what happened to his step-sister, everything will go back to normal, so he writes to investigative reporter Maxine Revere. This isnt the type of case Max normally takes on, but the heartbreak and simple honesty in Tommy's letter pulls her in. She travels to Corte Madera, California, with her assistant David Kane and is at first pleased that the police are cooperative. But the more Max learns about Tommy and his dysfunctional family, the more she thinks shes taken on an impossible task: this may be the one case she cant solve. If Ivy was murdered, it was exceptionally well-planned and that kind of killer could be hiding in plain sight ... planning the next act of violence. Max believes the truth is always better than lies, that the truth is the only thing that matters to gain justice for victims and their families. But for the first time, she wonders if this time, the truth will kill. Poisonous is the latest in the electrifying Max Revere series from New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan.

Mehso-so

First off I did not realize that this book was part of series till I was partially through it. I hate reading any series without starting from the beginning. This story just did not capture me. Internet bully Ivy Lake falls off a cliff and the killer has never been found. In comes reporter Max Revere to save the day and solve the mystery that the cops failed to do. The characters were blah for me and the story line even worse. Moving on…

LiseWorks Me too I don't like to read any series without reading them on order. 2y
