Resumen del Editor

In this exciting debut novel comes a fast-paced thriller that follows a sports reporter’s journey off the court…and into a world of murder and deception.

Former Olympic athlete and sports reporter Kate Green isn’t sure how much more tumultuous her life can get. She’s been put on temporary leave from her job, then NBA superstar Kurt Robbins is killed and the prime suspect in his murder is none other than his wife…and Kate’s best friend.

Kate knows that Yvette’s marriage wasn’t exactly stable, but her friend is no murderer, and Kate is determined to prove it with her own investigation. While she tries to salvage Yvette’s life, Kate’s own continues to unravel. Her career is in limbo. Gossip columns speculate about her future. Her children are battling their own demons. And her estranged father suddenly reenters her life as a detective assigned to Kurt’s homicide case.

As her worlds collide—exposing secrets, lies, and ulterior motives—Kate may have to choose between the games she can play and the one she might lose.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“With a TV sports reporter protagonist, Lights Out blasts onto the thriller scene with something completely new and exciting for seasoned readers of the genre. The book is teeming with plausible suspects, each with a compelling motive and secrets they’d kill to keep, but always returns to the question of whether or not we truly know what those closest to us are capable of. This is fast-paced suspense you’ll want to read in just a couple of sittings, and with an ending that hints at more intriguing layers of our protagonist’s story to come, I can’t wait to see what Elise Hart Kipness delivers next! ”—Megan Collins, author of Thicker Than Water and The Family Plot

“When a basketball superstar is murdered in his gated home, all eyes look to his wife and circle of insiders for possible suspects. Drawing on her experience as a national sports reporter and long-time resident of suburban Connecticut, Elise Hart Kipness takes us inside both worlds in this scandalous, page-turning thriller!”—Wendy Walker, international bestselling author

“What a fantastic debut! A unique protagonist, an interesting setting, and a story that grabs you from the beginning and keeps on building. I couldn’t put this book down and read it in one sitting!”—Chad Zunker, Amazon Charts bestselling author of Family Money

Fun WhoDunit

This was a fun, well narrated murder mystery with a nice little cliff hanger. I will definitely listen to book two when it is released!

5 star thriller

I loved how suspenseful this book was. So many twists and turns that kept me guessing. Wrapped up perfectly.

Narrator sounds stoned most of the time

The story was overall pretty good, not a genre stand-out, but entertaining enough. The narration kinda killed it for me though - I couldn’t quite place accents, and most of the characters just sounded like stoned surf bums with no enthusiasm for anything whatsoever…wish I had thought to sped it up as someone else recommended!

Good mystery

There is lots of intrigue and tangled webs in this mystery. I found it hard to put down in the last hundred pages, but parts were cliche.

Sports cozy mystery

Kate’s best friends husband is dead. She decides to investigate the death to help clear her friends name. Kurt was a famous basketball player for the Comet’s. He’s known for cheating on his wife. Yvette and Kurt had an arrangement. That arrangement didn’t include murder.

Kate Green is a sport reporter. She’s divorced living outside Greenwich Village with her two teenagers. Kate’s was recently suspended for being rude to a Comet’s team player on national tv. With all this free time on her hands she takes it upon herself to dig into the people surrounding Kurt.

This reads like a cozy mystery. It’s a character driven story written in the third person. The focus was on the characters and less on the crime. This is by no means a police procedure story. Eventhough, Kate’s biological dad is a police officer his character was referenced more as a means to retrieve information. I had one pet peeve regarding Kate’s character and how her conversations with Liam remained unfinished. This is my first time reading a book written by Elise Hart Kipness. Elise Hart Kipness is a former television sports reporter turned thriller writer. Her character Kate Green was a sports reporter turned amateur detective.

I Liked It

The story is good, writing is strong without repetition and character development for at least the main ones was done well. Definitely interesting enough with the multiple “who could have done it” to finish.

Narration was a 3.5* the symmetry worked some of the time. Inner dialogue was good, but it’s questionable maybe by tone whether Kate comes across as weak (which I don’t feel she is) or maybe insecure. Doubtful in a world champion even with peer and dad issues.
