5-STAR REVIEW: FINAL EXIT by Raemi A. Ray

The Description

Martha’s Vineyard Murders: Book 4
Publication Date: May 28, 2025

Careful what you wish for…

Winter has settled over the island of Martha’s Vineyard, and newspaper columnist Kyra Gibson is relieved when her partner, forensic profiler Tarek Collins, returns home. As a birthday surprise, she arranges a meet and greet with the hosts of his favorite true-crime podcast while they’re on island to investigate a notorious cold case.

Forty years ago, a beautiful young actress was brutally murdered and her enigmatic bunkmate disappeared from the prestigious Oak Bluffs summer theater camp. Nothing about the podcasters’ attitude, their lack of preparation, or disdain for the island makes sense. When they disappear, leaving behind a bloody mess, Kyra and Tarek are ensnared in a decades-long web of intrigue. To find the podcasters, they must untangle the historic crime, but someone wants to keep the case cold. Someone willing to kill.

Every islander holds tight to their secrets, and each question leads down a dark and twisted path. When a lead draws Tarek off the island, Kyra embarks on a perilous rescue before the final curtain claims them both.

The Review

A birthday surprise to meet the masterminds behind a true-crime podcast sets the stage for the latest adventure in The Martha’s Vineyard Murders series.

Final Exit features a familiar cast of characters from author Raemi A. Ray’s three previous books. However, new readers can easily jump in and enjoy this selection as a standalone.

As with the other books, they take place on the picturesque island. This time, though, the focus appears to be on a decades-old cold case involving a summer dramatic arts program that left one girl dead and another one missing.

Kyra and Tarek find themselves immersed in the case, especially when an unexpected discovery connects the past and present. However, danger is never far behind where these two characters are concerned.

It’s a race to put all the pieces together. Kyra and her bestie, Chase, search for Tarek in spite of a blizzard, a clunker of a truck, and a remote location in New Hampshire. Their friendship has been well-developed from the beginning.

REVIEW AUTHOR

Amy Wilson
Amy Wilson
My name is Amy W., and I am a book addict. I will never forget the day I came home from junior high school to find my mom waiting for me with one of the Harlequin novels from my stash. As she was gearing up for the "you shouldn't be reading this" lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. I'm just glad she didn't find the Bertrice Small book hidden in my closet. I have diverse reading tastes, evident by the wide array of genres on my Kindle. As I made the transition to an e-reader, I found myself worrying that something could happen to it. As a result, I am now the proud owner of four Kindles -- all different kinds, but plenty of back-ups! "Fifty Shades of Grey" gets high marks on my favorites list -- not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!), but because it blazed new ground for those of us who believe provocative fiction is more than just an explicit cover. Sylvia Day, Lexie Blake, and Kristin Hannah are some of my favorite authors. Speaking of diverse tastes, I also enjoy Dean Koontz, Iris Johansen, and J.A. Konrath. I’m always ready to discover new-to-me authors, especially when I toss in a palate cleanser that is much different than what I would normally read. Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader. Give me a happily ever after, and I am downright giddy.
