The case: First, retired cop Rod Mcleod, Detective Evan Bolton's friend and mentor, is murdered. Then Rod's daughter, Sophia, goes missing. As Evan investigates the murder, he discovers that Rod was looking into some old cases. It's puzzling. Could the killer be someone in law enforcement? And is Evan next on his hitlist?
My thoughts: This mystery has great writing, likable characters, and some nice twists. The suspense really mounts as Evan's investigation puts his own life in danger. Rowan and her search-and-rescue dog, Thor, are also on the scene. She and Evan are so great together; I love how they support each other both on the job and at home. And I really like how Kendra Elliot writes mysteries. She's become on of my most favorite authors. And this book? As compelling and entertaining as all her others.
Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteIt's a good one! I really like her Mercy Kilpatrick series, too!
DeleteI want to give Kendra Elliot a try. I'm also trying to get in a few more books by Victoria Thompson, Bill Crider, Louise Penny. There are so many great series out there.

DeleteI love Kendra Elliot's mysteries! I need to read the first one. I think these characters may have been in the Mercy Killpatrick books?
ReplyDeleteYeah, they both are, though I can't remember where and when Evan first shows up. But this book could be read as a standalone, though it's better to at least read The First Death first.
