@sarahwardcrime is one of the authors on my must-read list and I loved her newest novel, Death Rites.
This crime thriller is book 1 in a new series featuring archaeology professor, Carla James. She has just moved to the northeast United States from the United Kingdom. On her first day at the new job, she is asked to consult on a death investigation. This leads to her noticing a pattern. The question becomes is this pattern all in her head or is there a serial killer in the small college town?!
I really enjoyed this book, especially because the main female characters are all strong, independent, and smart. I highly recommend if you enjoy crime novels with strong female characters and fast paced plots.
