"Lepionka is setting a high standard for crime fiction." —Booklist (starred review) on What You Want to See The Stories You Tell is Shamus Award-winning and Anthony and Macavity Award-nominated author Kristen Lepionka’s heart-pounding third novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats with her signature twists and mile-high stakes. A late-night phone call is never good news, especially when you’re Roxane Weary. This one is from her brother Andrew, whose evening was interrupted by an urgent visit from Addison, a hip young DJ and one-time fling, who turns up at his apartment scared and begging to use his phone. She leaves as quickly as she appeared, but now Andrew is worried—especially when Addison never makes it home and her friends and family demand to know where she is. As the police begin to suspect that something may have happened to her, and that Andrew is involved, Roxane tracks Addison’s digital footprint as she goes deeper and deeper into the events preceding her disappearance. Meanwhile, a cop is found dead on the opposite side of town, leading to a swirl of questions surrounding a dance club whose staff—which includes Addison—has suddenly gone AWOL. As Roxane struggles to distinguish the truth from the stories people tell about themselves online, it's clear that the mystery of Addison's whereabouts is just the beginning.

Better than the 2nd book! I appreciate that the book highlighted police violence against black and brown violence for such a cop-heavy book that always felt awkwardly ignored to me. However
Tom basically defends the guy who shot a brown boy for no reason , and Roxanne is pissed at the moment but by the end they still end up together? Huh?
Other than that I still love Roxanne, the mysteries are nice and all but she carries these books. I like that her sexuality (she is bisexual) matters beyond just her love interests (BOTH OF WHICH SUCK but never mind that), it is something that is part of her character regardless of her love life.
