Don’t Even Breathe is the first novel in the Maggie Novak series of novels by author Keith Houghton. Maggie Novak is a homicide detective working in the sunshine state that has been witness to a ton of murder cases throughout her career. None of them have been particularly pretty to see. For better or worse, as a result she is able to handle these extreme cases having been exposed to so many and no longer being green in the field.

When they call Maggie out to investigate a body, she initially doesn’t think anything of it. It was a young woman and her body is totally charred. It at first seems like a horrible accident, possibly a Halloween prank, but Maggie being the one on the case is about to make a difference. That’s because they say that the body is Dana Cullen, a woman that worked as a counselor at the school. However, one mark on the body makes her look a little closer. Maggie could swear that it was Rita, her friend from school and who was supposed to have died two decades previous to this in a fire.

None of this makes sense, but Maggie is determined to get to the bottom of it. She’s looking for the truth in any way that she can find it to figure out who this person is. She also wants to discover what happened in the first place. Was this a mistake or was it murder? She soon has reason to be suspicious when an additional body appeared, making this a pattern and officially putting the community and possibly herself at risk.

Maggie’s trying to just get the job done and be professional and ignore the fact that she’s a little closer to this emotionally than she would like. She’s probably too close to this one for comfort, and starts to feel like she’s barely able to breathe. Can she find out who potentially killed the victim and why? Or will mistakes from the past end up derailing everything? Pick up a copy of this mystery novel to find out!
