Bree is a detective working with the Philadelphia police. She is focused but reserved and does not suffer fools easily. Her past history was full of anguish - a murder/suicide of her parents which tore the family apart and the three siblings were brought up with separate families. Erin the baby of the family has always needed emotional support but her choices were never right, and Adam lived in a world of his own where he could not be touched by the day to day vagaries of what went on with people's lives.
When Erin is found dead - murdered and her partner is missing it seems like history repeating itself especially when he seems to have disappeared without trace. It points out to him being the chief suspect but when Erin's ex husband turns up on the scene Bree knows she has her work cut out to evade his scheme of getting his hands on his children whom he has never acknowledged nor seen, but for whom he now professes to want and love.
The mystery has several unlikely suspects and when they mount up, Bree does not known who is the most likely one as there seems to be several. The pace was quite swift but you knew it was coming to a point of reveal soon. The final was a surprise.

ReplyDeleteHoping you and your loved ones are safe and doing well.
I love reading mysteries, even now, but I'm not sure if this one is quite light enough for me. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound good, Mystica. I haven't read anything by this author before.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. I recently picked up an audio by this author as I have seen others enjoy her writing.
