"My name is Quinn Roberts. I was murdered and I don’t know why"

Synopsis

My name is Quinn Roberts. I was murdered and I don’t know why.


Quinn Roberts is dead and she wants to know how it happened. She’s angry, confused and disappointed that her life is over. Most of her friends have moved on and it seems like no one cares who was responsible.


Her adult children are in shock but their mother’s death is too painful, so they do nothing.


Soon after her death, Quinn’s husband, Alec, has acquired a new wife and Quinn becomes a distant memory. Only her sister, Erin, and Detective John McQuillan, who leads the investigation, continue to search for answers.


But as the case stalls, the formal investigation is moved to the Cold Case division and Quinn’s family loses hope that there will ever be an arrest.


Can Quinn get the justice she deserves? And, is discovering the truth always worth it?



My Review


WOW WOW WOW! This was an amazing read! So cleverly written with such a unique and interesting premise. Quinn Roberts is dead. She knows she is dead but can not understand why and her soul will not rest.


I loved the way this was written its unusual in murder mystery type reads to have the view point of the victim in such a way like this book. it gave me such vibes like Alice Sebolds "The Lovely bones. that view point of the deceased and how the in turn view the lives and reactions of the family and friends


As Quinn watches her family and friends its with sadness and confusion that she questions how can she be so easily forgotten? and have the police not found her killer? Who is lying? Who has secrets? Quinn was a well loved person throughout her life. So who would want her dead? family, friends, ex husband? and why?


i loved the ups and downs of this book ,the twist and turns with Quinn popping up providing information and this just lead the story in such a unique way it kept me hooked right to the end!, I really enjoyed this read and i was so very surprised not to find more from this author! i cannot wait for more from the very talented McGarvey Black.


Author Bio


McGarvey Black, a theatre major in college spent many years in the New York advertising sales business. She sold print and digital advertising and managed sales teams for companies like Conde Nast and WebMD.


Ten years ago, she left media to become an executive recruiter for large and small internet companies. No matter how she earned a living, she always wrote…for her, for her friends and family.


Two years ago, she left recruiting to pursue a full-time career writing. I Never Left is her debut novel, she’s written two others and is working simultaneously on the fourth and fifth.


Writing has caused her some sleep deprivation as she sometimes wakes in the middle of the night with an idea and must get to her keyboard.


She usually writes mystery/thrillers, but occasionally likes to veer off to her other passion — rom-coms. She believes in a ton of prep. If she does her writing work upfront and develops her characters fully, they kind of write themselves. You must always know what each character ultimately wants —that drives the story.
