      Coming for You by Kristi Belcamino is a riveting mystery that is quite poignant.

      With their seventeen year old daughter, Kate, about to leave for college, Sofia Kennedy and her husband Jason host their good friends Dan and Gretchen Williams and Alex and Cecile Moreau for an "Empty Nest" celebration. After a fun-filled evening, Sofia awakens to discover Kate did not come home from her evening out with Dan's daughter, Lily.  Nor did her normally responsible daughter leave her a message that she is staying over with friends.  Kate and Jason notify the police then they immediately begin searching for Kate. When their worst fears are realized, Sofia does not trust Detective Pete Marley to find Kate's killer so she begins investigating on her own. Will Sofia unmask her daughter's killer?  And if she does, will she follow through on her impulse to make the murderer pay for their crime?

      Sofia has lied to Jason and everyone in their inner circle about her identity and her past. She is very worried that Kate's murder is somehow connected to the life she left behind when she started college. The truth about her parents haunts her and due to her family history, Sofia is certain that when she identifies Kate's killer, she will have no problem exacting justice for her daughter's death.  Convinced that her DNA is her destiny, Sofia relentlessly and sometimes, ruthlessly, hunts for Kate's murderer.

      Kate's life in the months leading up to her murder are revealed through a series of her diary entries. She is a typical teen looking forward going off to college and beginning the "adult" portion of her life. However, Kate's life is a bit tumultuous as she looks to the future. Her long standing friendship with Lily is a bit strained but she is sure they will make it though this brief rough patch.  Kate has been keeping several secrets that are quite troubling but are these undisclosed details related to her murder?

      Coming for You is a fast-paced and engrossing mystery. Sofia is a sympathetic character whose family history is very dark and disturbing. Kate's murder is absolutely heartrending and it is easy to empathize with Sofia's need for vengeance. With a viable pool of suspects, Kristi Belcamino keeps the perpetrator's identity and motive for the murder carefully concealed until the breathtaking denouement.  An outstanding mystery that I greatly enjoyed and highly recommend.
    • 5/5
      Coming for You by Kristi Belcamino is a standalone novel that grabs you immediately and does not let go.

      If you're familiar with Belcamino's other fiction (if you're not, you should be!) you already know that her protagonist is going to be a strong woman who will do whatever is necessary to right a wrong or make sure that those who did the wrong pay dearly. This is no exception.

      Told from two points of view, Sofia the mother and Kate, her murdered daughter, Coming for You offers a far more nuanced thriller than many others. We not only have the excitement of the hunt but the reflection on what makes a relationship. This book is as much about relationships as it is murder and revenge.

      Like many thrillers, going into much detail risks ruining the twists and turns, so I will leave that largely alone. As a thriller it stands with any other out there. I want to talk about how the personal aspects of the story can and will speak to a reader's own life. While we hopefully will not deal with such an extreme reckoning in our own lives we all have secrets we keep from those we love. The fear we usually have is about what would happen if those secrets invaded our currently constructed world.

      For most of us those secrets might cause embarrassment, perhaps even jeopardize a relationship. Whatever it may be, this commonality with Sofia and her plight gives both an edge to the story and an avenue for most of us to empathize with her. This connection gives the action of the novel that much more power. In addition to what might happen if our secreted past intrudes in our present we also have to think about how having and protecting that secret may have influenced how we constructed our relationships with people we otherwise share everything. It isn't about right or wrong but about living, plain and simple. And in this case, someone dying.

      I highly recommend this to readers who like the white knuckle thriller, especially when revenge is included. This will especially appeal to those who like characters that are intelligent and reflective and, most importantly, relatable.
