Hairpin Bridge by Taylor Adams book review

Book Description from publisher:

 Three months ago, Lena Nguyen’s estranged twin sister, Cambry, drove to a remote bridge sixty miles outside of Missoula, Montana, and jumped two hundred feet to her death. At least, that is the official police version. 

But Lena isn’t buying it.

Now she’s come to that very bridge, driving her dead twin’s car and armed with a cassette recorder, determined to find out what really happened by interviewing the highway patrolman who allegedly discovered her sister’s body.

Corporal Raymond Raycevic has agreed to meet Lena at the scene. He is sympathetic, forthright, and professional. But his story doesn’t seem to add up. For one thing, he stopped Cambry for speeding a full hour before she supposedly leapt to her death. Then there are the sixteen attempted 911 calls from her cell phone, made in what was unfortunately a dead zone.

But perhaps most troubling of all, the state trooper is referred to by name in Cambry’s final enigmatic text to her sister: Please Forgive Me. I couldn’t live with it. Hopefully you can, Officer Raycevic. 

Review:

I live for fast-paced, action-filled, suspenseful thrillers! So when I found out that the author of No Exit was coming out with a new book, I just had to get a copy of it. 

Prepare for an intense, no-holds-barred, thrill ride. The story rotates from Cambry’s point of view(the last hour she is alive), Lena’s point of view in the present, and Lena’s blog posts she wrote before going to meet Officer Ray on Hairpin Bridge. Lena goes into the meet up distrustful of the officer. She believes that her sister did not commit suicide and instead something more sinister happened to her.

Without giving anything away, the only issue I had with the book was that I felt like some of the action parts were a little too repetitive. But otherwise, Hairpin Bridge kept me fully engrossed throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed the rollercoaster ride that is, Hairpin Bridge. And wow, that ending was perfect and very satisfying. This book would be absolutely perfect to add to your summer reading! 

Hairpin Bridge will be available on June 15. Many thanks to Netgalley, William Morrow, Joffe books, and Taylor Adams for an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review!
