Hide your eyes/You kill me
I read both of these books in Alison Gaylin's Samantha Leiffer series back to back.
Samantha is a preschool teacher by day and a ticket seller at an off-off-Broadway theater by night.
In Hide your eyes, Samantha finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and witnesses something that looks fishy to her. Two people are pushing an ice chest off the pier. She has a strong feeling that they are doing more than littering.
It isn't until the police find the ice chest and discover it's grisly contents that they start to take her seriously.
In You kill me, Samantha receives a cryptic warning that she is in danger. She doesn't believe it until people connected to her start to die. Then there is that nagging feeling that she is being watched. Someone close to her is moving in for the kill.
Samantha is a great character. She also has her quirky theater friends, the cute kids at the preschool, the cops working the cases, and a mother who is a self-help guru.
Top off the great characters with complex plots that twist and turn and keep you guessing right up to the end and you have great stories.
Both of these books are highly recommended.
