Review: Blindsided - Kate Watterson - July 2019

Ten years ago, when Cadence Lawerence was in high school and graduating with her best friend, they were living the life until her best friend went missing and her body was never found. Cadence accused her best friend's boyfriend at the time as she knew he had a temper and her friend was going to dump him that night. Now ten years later, she is with a friend in a doctor's office when she spots him. There is no way that she would never recognize him even after all these years. Spooked, she decides to take an impromptu absence of leave and drive to Wisconsin. On her way, her car breaks down, and she is picked up by a stranger who takes her to his cabin in the woods. During her time away, an FBI agent is trying to get ahold of Cadence as she has questions about the guy she accused of her friends murder as her daughter was also killed by the same man and now they have a string of deaths that could be all tied to the same guy and looks like everyone who has known him is now dead except for Cadence. Now that he has spotted Cadence, is he here to tie up loose ends as when she returns home it looks like someone is stalking her. Thank goodness, she now has her mountain man rescuer whom they have become close and started a romantic entanglement together. I did like how her friend's murder was solved eventually, but I had hoped that we would have seen more of this case in the book as it felt entirely overshadowed by the "new situation."  If you are in the mood for an excellent female mystery/thriller writer in the same feel as Tess Gerritsen, Kendra Elliot then check out Kate Watterson today.
