You Can't Run

By: Hope E. Davis

Narrated by: Margie Valine

Sheriff Naya Largusa has spent her entire life in the peaceful, tight-knit community of a small town in rural Colorado. Everything is on track for her to have a great career, until she receives a life-altering phone call one Sunday afternoon. Naya’s brother Vance has just been diagnosed with cancer, and not the kind that the doctor thinks will improve. In fact, he’s slated to get worse. Having no one else in the family to help, Naya immediately packs up her simple life and heads to Denver, exchanging her Sheriff’s badge for a job as a detective. It isn’t long before Naya begins to notice an odd string of murders, and a common quality that ties them all together. But even as she races to investigate, the bodies only continue to pile up. Because as far as this killer is concerned, you can’t run.

This is a great read! There is a modern-day tech twist that will give you the willies. Great narration. I received a free copy and left my honest review

Great story!

I absolutely loved this book. The crime aspect of the story is so interesting, and the personal aspect of it is so heartfelt. Through Margie’s narration, you really feel Naya’s emotions all throughout the book, from her being the new detective in an entirely new city, to dealing with her brother’s deterioration due to cancer. Margie does a great job showing the highs and lows of Naya’s state through the book. Definitely loved the story! Hoping we will eventually get a sequel!

Loved the plot and suspense!

This story has multiple POVs, mystery, heartache, and slow burn. The plot was one that held my attention from beginning to end. From the family aspect to the work aspect, each problem had me rooting for Naya and wishing her success and peace.

Naya is such a badass FMC who takes care of her responsibilities, both family and her career. The narration for Naya was done so well, I truly felt so many of Naya’s emotions making the story immersive and captivating.

I thought I knew…

The whole time! I thought I knew who it was. I was in fact incorrect! Lol this story was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed it! That little snippet at the end had my jaw on the floor! This was a great thriller
