Hiding Lies

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of Hiding Lies.
What a debut novel this was! Starting off with potent vigor, you know what you're in for. No mask, gloves off. It will be gory and straight forward. This novel is a very easy read with a focus on momentum for the characters and plot. We know Lydia is a forensic photographer and Adam a part-time sales rep and high end book entrepreneur. Through the dual pov's we learn both have unsettling pasts and dark secrets. One has taken it upon themselves to snuff out the lairs they come across unknowingly sparking the other's interest due to like mindedness.
The killings are thoughtfully planned and carried out. There's some evolution to the depth to picking the victims and some showed learning from the killer. The thought process for the killer is mostly simple and superficial and the other character has a bit more depth, but ultimately is simple with their development as well. The trust seemed to come too easily from their side, especially considering their past. There is a bit of a repetitiveness in the writing, which may have been seen as a security net due to the dual pov chapters.
I can definitely see the nods from the author's favored books and they wove in just fine. This author has a great mindset and I look forward to more publications. Maybe there will be a second installment to this story?
