First things first – When I’m Dead is actually the third novel in a series (Black Harbor). That said, it can read as a standalone novel. I know this because I accidentally picked this up, having no idea about the series. I had no problem diving in and reading along. Promise.
When I’m Dead unfolds through the dual perspectives of Rowan and Axel, offering contrasting reactions to a shared circumstance: their daughter’s disappearance. Witnessing their distinct responses through their eyes is both poignant and intriguing. However, the narrative delves deeper as one character is a medical examiner, and the other is a police officer, adding significant nuance to the story.
The realism of the city permitting these two parents to actively participate in their own daughter’s missing person case is questionable. Nevertheless, the dire situation in Black Harbor may have left authorities with no choice but to allow their involvement. This aspect highlights the missing backstory alluded to earlier.
