Gwen Marcey has
taken a job with the Interagency Major Crime Unit (IMCU). Although
she was planning to spend time with Blake, her new love, the case of
a missing child whose parents were murdered recalls her own tragic
history. She grabs the case and head for Idaho and the Nez Pierce reservation
From the beginning,
someone wants Gwen off the case. When checking out the murder scene,
her car is stolen. Without transportation, she seeks help from her
friend Beth, who does research for her on her cases. Beth arrives
with Winston, Gwen’s huge dog, in tow. They manage to find a bed
and breakfast that will take dogs. It seems an ideal situation, but
the building brings back memories, and in addition to the case Gwen
is immersed in the search for her own history.
The plot is well
done. The threads of the missing child case meld with Gwen’s
history. In solving one, she comes closer to understanding who she
is. I enjoyed the setting in the Nez Pierce tribe. The background was
unusual and very interesting.
I enjoy the Gwen
Marcey books, but Gwen’s character in this one seemed rather
strained. She makes poor decisions which put her and Beth in danger.
She manages to get out of the situations, but the actions are more
like a superhero than a lady with a double mastectomy.
If you enjoy
mysteries in unusual locals, this is a good one.
I received this book
from Booklook Bloggers for this review.
