Catherine O'Brien is
none too pleased when her partner, Louise, calls her back to work. She'd
planned some fun time with her husband, Garin. Now she's faced with a
difficult homicide. Jonathan and Susan Luther are found dead in their
home by their son, Chad. He'd be a suspect, but he's so broken up
they can hardly get any information from him.
Feeling angry that
the press are stalking this kid, Catherine lets loose and earns the
presence of a reporter, Jane Katts, as part of their team to see how
the police investigate a murder.
Catherine is sincere
if lacking in tact. She feels her responsibilities as a police
officer and wants to protect the family of the murder victims. Louise
is beautiful and far more tactful. She uses her skills to keep
Catherine from being summarily dismissed from the case. Jane is a
prototype hard hitting reporter. She cares about the story – the
victims, not so much.
I thoroughly enjoyed
the interactions between the three women. The mystery was not
captivating, but I kept reading because the interactions between the
women were so engrossing
.
The resolution and
indeed most of the clues didn't come into the story until the last
third of the book, so the interaction of the police and press had to
carry the story. I thought the author did a good job, but if you're
looking for more action and mystery you may be disappointed.
I reviewed this book
for Net Galley.
