Book Review: Lost Hills

Lost Hills
Eve Ronin, Book 1
by Lee Goldberg


 Thomas & Mercer 
 General Fiction (Adult)  |  Mystery & Thriller 
Pub Date 01 Jan 2020 


I am reviewing a copy of Lost Hills through Thomas & Mercer and Netgalley:



Eve Ronin’s off duty arrest of an abusive movie star goes viral, turning her into a hero at a time that the the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is plagued by scandal.   The Sheriff who is desperate for positive press, to combat all the negative press, makes Eve the youngest female homicide detective in the department’s history.






Eve left with a lot to learn finds herself resented by her colleagues, and finds herself having to justify her new badge.  She has the chance to prove herself when she and her burned-out, soon-to-retire partner are called to the blood-splattered home of a missing single mother and her two kids.  The scene screams of murder, but there are no bodies.






Eve must rely on her instincts as well as her tenacity to catch the brutal killer.  She has to do this while battling her own insecurities and mounting pressure from the media, her bosses, and the bereaved family.  She finds herself dealing with a deadly ordeal that will either prove that she is able to, and worthy of the badge, or it will destroy her.





I give Lost Hills five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
