From the Back Cover

TESSA WEGERT
DEAD WIND

The body is discovered on Wolfe Island, under the shadow of an enormous wind turbine. Senior Investigator Shana Merchant, arriving on the scene with fellow investigator Tim Wellington, can't shake the feeling that she knows the victim - and the subsequent identification sends shockwaves through their community in the Thousand Islands of Upstate New York.

Politics, power, passion . . . there are dark undercurrents in Shana's new home, and finding the killer means dredging up her new friends and neighbors' old grudges and long-kept secrets.

That is, if the killer is from the community at all. For Shana's keeping a terrible secret of her own: eighteen months ago she escaped from serial killer Blake Bram's clutches. But has he followed her, to kill again?

4.0 out of 5 stars What a page turner!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 28, 2022
This is my first read by Tessa Wegert and even though it's book 3 in the series, I was able to jump right in without any trouble. This book kind of reminds me of Patricia Cornwells Scarpetta series and that's one of my all time favorite series! You can guarantee I'll be going back and reading the first two books in this series!

Shana Merchant is a badass investigator who's latest victim is someone she knows. Someone whose death is a gut punch! But if the killer thought they'd break her down to the point where she couldn't find them, they'd better think again. What a page turner!

In book 3 of the Shana Merchant series, Shana is still hunting down her cousin, Blake Bram, while simultaneously trying to find who killed a disgraced former state representative.

• 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓

Shana Merchant has been searching for her cousin ever since he first abducted her and held her captive nearly 2 years prior. Now, constantly on the lookout, she’s facing a new murder investigation. Was Bram the killer, or are they looking for someone else connected to their victim?

• 𝐌𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒

I haven’t read the first 2 books of this series, but Tessa did a great job of keeping me up to date with the events of the prior novels. I really loved Shana. She’s strong, quick witted, and not afraid of a fight. She hasn’t stopped looking for her cousin and won’t rest until he’s caught. I also enjoyed the mystery of finding out who killed their Jane Doe at the beginning of the story. I was always surprised when their clues went cold, and I loved who ended up being the murderer. I really hadn’t expected that ending either! All in all, this is another great police procedural series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Love Shana Merchant!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2022
With many years of watching Law and Order, I have really come to love police and detective novels. The Shana Merchant series is a perfect series to dive in with! The third book is Dead Wind by @tessawegert.

When we left off with Shana, she was still in NYC. She had followed her fiancé to Alexandria Bay in very upstate NY, right on the Canadian border. However, they have called off their engagement and Shana has moved into her own tiny apartment. She is working with her partner Tim to investigate a woman’s body on a Canadian island that they are called into investigate when it’s realized that the victim is American. Some of the circumstances match the same as past crimes of a serial killer that Shana has investigated and even was a victim herself. Could her past becoming to haunt her?

This was a wild ride! I love all of Tessa’s novels because they feature strong women who are excellent at their jobs, and Shana is a prime example. I really enjoyed the change to upstate NY and dealing with the Canadian police was something I haven’t read about before. Looking forward to more from Shana!

Thank you to @suzyapprovedbooktours @severnhouseimprint and Tessa for my ebook. Dead Wind is out now and the 4th installment The Kind to Kill is out Dec 6!
