Where The Blame Lies by Mia Sheridan........5 Clock Review by Alexandra

Abducted.

Terrorized.
Imprisoned.

At nineteen-years-old, college student Josie Stratton was kidnapped by a madman and held

shackled for ten months in an abandoned warehouse before she finally escaped her hellish prison.

Eight years later, when the body of a young woman is found chained in the basement of a vacant house, 

Cincinnati Police Detective Zach Copeland is instantly reminded of the crime committed against 

Josie Stratton. Zach was just a rookie on the perimeter of that case, but he's never 

forgotten the traumatized woman with the haunted eyes.

As more information emerges, the crimes take on an even more sinister similarity. 

But Josie's attacker died by suicide. Does the city have a copycat on its hands?

 A killer who picked up where the original perpetrator left off?

 Or are they facing something far more insidious?

Josie has spent the last eight years attempting to get her life back on track, but now there's a very real 

chance she could be the unknown suspect's next target. 

As Zach vows to keep her safe, and Josie finds herself responding to him in a way she hasn't 

responded to any man in almost a decade, 

the investigation takes on an even more complex edge of danger.

As past and present collide, Josie and Zach are thrust toward a shocking and chilling truth. 

A revelation that threatens not only Josie's life, but

 everything she's been fighting so desperately to reclaim.

Review

Where The Blame Lies will shake you to your core! 

This book made me fall in love with the power of healing. Following Josie through 

her past trauma and seeing her transform into a strong woman is truly inspiring. 

Zach, is the detective working on a new case that seems familiar . He is the kind of man 
that will never give up on a case, especially one that has stayed with him as long
 as Josie's has. As a new cop he remembered hearing about her story and 
now as the lead Detective, the same thing has happened to another girl.
He is married to his work and with this case, he will not rest until someone is caught. 
 Zach, can't forget the girl from before and now he needs her as much as she needs him.

I had a physical reaction to this story. I felt for Josie, I felt her pain.

 I had to set it aside a few times because I was so moved and my brain would not shut down. 

It stayed on my mind and will stay with me for a very long time.
