RUN WHILE YOU CAN by Christy Barritt, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney

 TRUE CRIME JUNKIES SERIES #11

REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"Even when you can't see me. Even when you think you're safe. I live in the spaces between your heartbeats, in the shadows you're afraid to check."

Young women; stalked, warned, then disappearing without a trace. For what reason? That's the million dollar question that members of the Arctic Circle Murder Club are trying to answer, because as they take their popular podcast on the road for a publicity tour along the West Coast, the dots are connecting in rapid fire succession. Someone is mapping out their destinations.

With limited resources, an ever-changing landscape, and no viable suspects Andi Slade and Duke McAllister pull on every thread of information at their disposal to no avail. Law enforcement is hesitant to take them seriously and their constant travel schedule keeps them at a discouraging disadvantage, unless they can devise a strategy to turn the hunter into the hunted.

There's not one thing that I would change about this book! Every page transports readers faster and faster down a spiraling incline, destined to hit rock bottom unless someone can apply the brakes! Plus, the ending is a five star bonus!

BackCover Blurb:
Some fans want an autograph. Some want your life.

The Arctic Circle Murder Club’s true crime podcast is riding high—sold-out tour dates, national attention, devoted fans. But when a desperate woman begs host Andi Slade to help find her missing sister, she can’t turn away.

The case spirals quickly. Days before she vanished, the woman reported a break-in—nothing stolen, no signs of struggle, only a chilling warning that he’d be back. Now she’s gone, and police have dismissed it as a voluntary disappearance.
Andi and her team soon uncover something far worse. This isn’t the first woman to vanish this way. And every city where it’s happened? The podcast had just come through.

Someone is threading himself through their tour, selecting victims and playing a deadly game with rules only he understands. A game where he gives his targets a head start—run while you can—before hunting them down.

As time runs out and the trail grows colder, the team must find the missing woman before she becomes another statistic. Because one question won’t let Andi go: Why does the killer want them watching?

And what happens when the hunters become the hunted?
