What's the book about:
Evie Blackwell loves her life as an Illinois State Police Detective . . . mostly. She's very skilled at investigations and has steadily moved up through the ranks. She would like to find Mr. Right, but she has a hard time imagining how marriage could work, considering the demands of her job.
Gabriel Thane is a lifetime resident of Carin County and now its sheriff, a job he loves. Gabe is committed to upholding the law and cares deeply for the residents he's sworn to protect. He too would like to find a lifetime companion, a marriage like his parents have.
When Evie arrives in Carin, Illinois, it's to help launch a new task force dedicated to reexamining unsolved crimes across the state. Spearheading this trial run, Evie will work with the sheriff's department on a couple of its most troubling missing-persons cases. As she reexamines old evidence to pull out a few tenuous new leads, she unearths a surprising connection . . . possibly to a third cold case. Evie's determined to solve the cases before she leaves Carin County, and Sheriff Thane, along with his family, will be key to those answers.
My thoughts on the book:
There are quiet a few characters in this book they all play a part heres my thoughts.
This book was hard to put down from the beginning I was on the edge of my seat the whole time needing to know what is happening. There is a lot of speculation in the book just like any missing person or cold case and you find yourself trying to find out before they figure it out, it reminds me of the show Disappeared. There are a lot of moving parts in the book and switch between a the key players listed above but Dee has done a good job starting each section with who its about, it really did not seem hard to keep up as each had something to do at the time and played a key part at that time in the story. There really is not much of a love story here at all, which kind of bummed me out. I think the only thing I did not like about this book is the end. I am not sure if there will be more books in this series but I have a feeling that there is still more to be told and I will say the end leaves you wanting more. If you are looking for a book that you can't put down then this is the book for you but just know this is not a typical book of Dee Henderson's that I have ever read in the past.
There are quiet a few characters in this book they all play a part heres my thoughts.
- Gabriel: Has a heart of gold he loves living in his home city he's the sheriff an has a few cases that have gone cold and is all to happy to have someone take a look at them and he will do just about anything to protect those in his city, even if that means digging into peoples lives that would rather have things hidden. He is also told some secrets that will affect his family and he knows he needs to keep a close eye out and protect them as well. But will he be able to do it all.
- Evie: She has a easy detachment from her cases but can easily find a way to connect and hope to find a way to solve every case. When she finds out that the soon to be Governor is leading a group to close cases in her state she sets out to prove she is good enough to be on that team. She uses her vacation to take on two cases. But will she be able to solve the case and keep everyone at arms length or will she in the end have to walk away and leave the case cold?
- Will and Karen:Even though Will and Karen play a small part in the book its still there. They both have secrets in there past and each wondering if it will destroy them?
- Josh and Grace: Josh has always loved Grace since they were kids. When Ann asks for a favor and it involves letting Grace back in his life he is determined to do whatever it is no matter the cost. But will it destroy them both or will he have a chance to get the first and only love back?
- Ann and Paul: Ann and Paul from the book have a pretty big role in this book they were fun to catch up with and see whats happening in there lives.
