Review: Just the Nicest Person (True Crime Junkies #1) by Christy Barritt

About the Book

Strangers—each with their own secrets—are thrown together after the murder of a beloved true crime podcaster.

Disgraced attorney Andi Slade is seeking justice for the killer who destroyed her reputation and her career. But going undercover as an ice road trucker in Alaska to find answers is just the tip of the iceberg. A brutal snowstorm, a handsome stranger, and an unsolved cold case send Andi's plans into a tailspin.

Former CID investigator Duke McAllister refuses to give up searching for his fiancée who disappeared two years ago on the Dalton Highway. When he rescues a woman on the side of the road, he knows just how much danger she’s in. Stranded together and butting heads, they discover a common interest: true crime.

When their favorite local Alaskan podcaster goes radio silent right before revealing the name of a cold case killer, they dive in to investigate only to make a terrifyingly frigid discovery. Can these strangers work together to find answers before the biting, dangerous cold claims their lives? Or even worse . . . before the killer comes looking for his own brand of justice?

MY THOUGHTS

I was so excited for this new book from Christy Barritt. It did not disappoint. It features a cold case, a true crime podcast, an Alaskan setting, an interesting group of characters, and mysteries and danger around every corner. How could I not like it? It was a thrill ride from start to finish and kept me guessing right up to the reveal. It's a little different from Barritt's norm, but I loved it so much. The characters were great, and I can't wait to spend more time with them in the next installment.
