My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble
Three teens went into
the woods and only one came out. Amber Ryder was found with a broken arm, a
concussion, and no memory about what happened. Nashville forensic technician
Georgia Morgan has been assigned the five year old cold case because the father
of one of the victims is rich and connected. He keeps pushing for more investigation
even though the police haven’t managed to find anything in five long years. Georgia
has read all the files and has contacted Amber who now resides in Texas, but
before she can really get going on interviews another body is found in the
woods - a body that leads Georgia and her team to the missing teens. What fresh
hell is this?
There are twists and turns
and revelations both surprising and icky in this suspenseful murder mystery. I’ve
read one other book by Mary Burton and I like her writing style. She woos with
words and coaxes you to keep looking for answers all while dropping breadcrumbs
to follow. Sometimes you think you have it figured out only to doubt yourself
with the next revelation. It’s frustrating, but in a good way. There is plenty
of science involved without it overwhelming the story and there’s even more
foot work involved by Detective Jake Bishop. Police work is a collaborative
effort between beating the bushes and science and I’m glad this story shows
that. I look forward to reading more stories by Mary Burton.
