Review: Expired Listings by D.M. Barr

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Standalone
Release: September 16, 2016
Length: 228 pages

Someone is ‘deactivating’ the Realtors in Rock Canyon and almost no one seems to care. Not the surviving brokers, who consider the serial killings a competitive boon. Not the town’s residents, who see the murders as a public service. In fact, the only person who’s even somewhat alarmed is Dana Black, a kinky, sharp-witted yet emotionally skittish Realtor who has no alibi for the crimes because during each, she was using her empty listings for games like Bondage Bingo with her sadistic lover, Dare. And yet, mysteriously, all clues are pointing her way.,,

Kink, Suspense and Satire--Expired Listings masterfully combines all three ​while exploring the universal need for validation and the toxic nature of revenge.

Note: This book is being marketed as a psychological thriller with satiric, romantic and erotic (BDSM) elements. It is in no way erotica. There is no "on page" sex because it is meant to reflect the view of those involved in the S&M community that what's most fulfilling is what happens between the ears, not the legs. Please keep that in mind when reading and reviewing. Thank you!

My Review

3.5 stars!!

D.M. Barr's debut book was quirky and interesting.

Puns and suspense. That's what this book was all about. It seemed that Dana went along trying to come up with witticism and puns while a serial killer was doing away with her realtor colleagues, one by one. And she was involved in a twisted BDSM relationship that was unlike anything I've ever encountered. And she was being framed. And she had an intense connection with the hot "vanilla" detective, Aidan, who was investigating the murders. And you need to read the book if you want to find out more lol.
