212 by Alafair Burke Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

Pin It


When New York University sophomore Megan Gunther finds personal threats posted to a Web site specializing in campus gossip, she's taken aback by their menacing tone. Someone knows her daily routine down to the minute and is watching her—but thanks to the anonymity provided by the Internet, the police tell her there's nothing they can do. Her friends are sure it's someone's idea of a joke, but when Megan is murdered in a vicious attack, NYPD Detective Ellie Hatcher is convinced that the online threats are more than just empty words.

With smooth, straight-talking partner J. J. Rogan at her side, Ellie tries to identify Megan's enemies, but she begins to wonder if the coed's murder was more than just the culmination of a cyber obsession. Phone records reveal a link between Megan and a murdered real estate agent who was living a dangerous double life. The detectives also learn that the dead real estate agent shared a secret connection to a celebrity mogul whose bodyguard was mysteriously killed a few months earlier. And when Megan's roommate suddenly disappears, they know they have to find her before another young woman dies.

Exposing the darkness that lurks beneath the glamorous surface of New York City, 212 delivers yet another "knuckle-biting journey that'll keep you turning pages until the very end" (Faye Kellerman).


I have never read a book by Alafair Burke before, so I really had no clue what to expect. I was surprisingly hooked within the first few pages. 212 was an excellent read, full of suspense and who done it through the entire book! it's one of those books that I just couldn't put down. I had to keep reading to find out what would happen next!

After reading 212, I really want to check out Angel's Tip by Alafair Burke, and can't wait to see what else she comes out with! I am totally hooked on the suspenseful, reel you in writing style of this wonderful author! 212 is a must read for all you murder/mystery/suspense fans out there!
