Count Their Graves by Jennifer Chase

 

Detective Katie did not expect anything on her morning run. She and her dog Cisco encountered a little girl deep in the forest, terrified and sobbing. Further on a house reveals four murders meticulously and neatly carried out, the entire Banks family gone.

When a second family is discovered also killed in a similar fashion, the entire community and the police force are put on full alert. What are the links between these two families, seemingly very different from each other. Most importantly it is important to rule out a serial killer before he strikes again.

The detection continues and uncovers so many links between these families but was there enough evidence to commit murder. A family in witness protection was the first clue but the final reveal of the murderer was unexpected. (Like all good detective stories it is the unexpected which adds interest to the story).
