Newspaper crime reporter Nichelle Clarke is under pressure from her boss to produce a sizzling front page story that will sell a lot more papers than they have been recently. Nichelle decides to track down the widow of a beloved athlete who is now an addict to put a "face" on the opioid crisis, but plans change when Nichelle finds a dead body and the widow becomes a suspect in that murder. Hidden Victims is entertaining, while also shining a light on serious issues such as drug addiction and how our system allows people to fall through financial and medical cracks. The plot is multi-faceted and pulls in strings from prior books. I would recommend reading the series in order to avoid spoilers and to better understand character histories and connections. Thank you to the publisher for the ARC. The opinions in this review are honest and my own.
