Suspense Mystery

This is a Fast Pace Suspense Mystery, and this is the 3rd book in the Paige Northwood series. I have read and review the first and second books in this series before picking up this book. I have to say I was on the fence about if I should keep going with this series because I liked but I did not love the other books in this series. I really enjoyed this one, and I loved the twists in this book. I feel that Paige is in a better place, and that let me really get to understand the character. Paige is a British Sign Language interpreter, and she has a deaf sister. I do feel this is a series you need to read in order because the first two books has so much back story that helps this book really comes to life. I really loved that we got to know Paige's sister more in this book. I really cannot wait for the next book in this series. I listen to the audiobook of this book, and I love the narrators of this book. Their was two different narrators one for Paige's parts and one of the unknown deaf persons parts. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
