The Collector is about a man who goes around having others killed for secrets he wants to keep hidden. His primary motivator is priceless artifacts, some of which he has gotten through ill means. Lucy O’Hara is a disgraced cop, a mother, and a daughter, who is assigned to catch him after the death of Philip Carlton brings her into the case. Lucy finds herself traveling the world of the rich, where you tread carefully, lest you find yourself out of a job. But the closer she comes to finding out who the killer is, the more people die, and the more in danger her and her daughter are.

I truly liked the plot of this book but I found it to be slow at times. I couldn’t connect well with Lucy which was sad because I liked her backstory from what I was told. I wish the author had expanded on that as well Lucy’s relationship with her daughter.
The ending of the book wasn’t quite what I expected. Although we find out who the killer is, their motives weren’t quite clearly/fully explained. This was an interesting read but it didn’t quite have enough for me to love it.

Thank you to John Maher, Inkubator Books, and NetGalley for this arc!
