Book Review—Say You’re Sorry

The best crime thrillers have main characters who are tough, action-oriented, and vulnerable. Morgan Dane is no exception. The daughter of a cop, she’s tough when she needs to be. She’s comfortable with weapons and doesn’t have a problem physically defending herself. But inside, she’s hurting. Bad. And that’s what made me follow her to the end.

Losing your life partner is bad enough. But when a young girl she cares about is found brutally murdered, well. Your average person might go off the rails. Not Morgan. She’s committed to truth and justice, even if it means throwing away a chance at a high-profile career.

Lance, a trusted friend, helps to ground Morgan. He stays with her as she navigates a web of lies and bad intent in a small town. Everyone there wishes the kid arrested for the murder were guilty already so they can mourn the victim and move on. But Morgan isn’t having any of it. She’s convinced Nick is innocent.

Like Morgan, Say You’re Sorry is tough when it needs to be. But it’s also soft and afraid. Morgan might be flawed. But on her worst day, she’s a hero worth rooting for.
