by Orion Gregory (Author)
$16.99
“Serves You Right” is a thrilling novel about a young female detective who is tasked with investigating a series of vigilante murders in a quiet town in Northeast Ohio.
Description
Rookie police detective Sydney Livingstone didn’t know what she was bargaining for when she joined the small department in little Walsh County, Ohio. Fresh off the spotlight of the professional tennis tour, Sydney expected a quiet existence with her fiancé, Enzo. But on the dark corners of the internet, a vigilante has emerged who seeks to take justice into their own hands. Sydney is thrown into a chaotic situation where she must fight against an established system to stop a relentless avenger who will go to extreme lengths for what they ostensibly believe is true justice.
While all of this is happening, an experienced officer is being trailed by a bold stalker who shows no fear or respect for the police. Are these events connected to the ongoing vigilante case? Or are they completely unrelated and coincidental? And as evidence is uncovered in relation to the crimes, is it due to diligent police work or is someone on the outside influencing the investigation?

Book Nerdection - Top-Rated "Must Read"
Serves You Right is a sharply plotted, emotionally intense mystery thriller by Orion Gregory. It is a Sydney Livingstone Detective Novel series.
Chaos begins when Frank McBride, a seemingly ordinary man who murders his wife, hides her body in a calculated attempt to preserve his financial future. But when he is later acquitted due to a flawed investigation, the community reels, and law enforcement are left angry and frustrated. The case leaves Sydney Livingstone, a former pro tennis player turned rookie detective, who finds herself drawn to the lingering questions surrounding McBride’s case.
What begins as a case of apparent vigilante justice soon evolves into something much darker, with layers of corruption, trauma, and revenge. Gregory’s writing is accessible yet vivid, with tight dialogue and immersive settings. Sydney is a compelling lead. She is smart, flawed, and navigating a male-dominated world where trust is as fragile as truth.
The ethical questions posed (especially about taking justice into one’s own hands) will linger with readers long after the final page. At its heart, the book asks a question: what happens when the system fails, and who steps in when it does?
The book is recommended for readers who appreciate a blend of crime, character study, and social commentary. It is embedded with emotional punch to keep readers hooked.
