Detectives A.L. McKitteridge and Rena Morgan are under the gun.
Baywood, Wisconsin women are terrified. Four women have been murdered
at ten day intervals. There are no clues. The killer has been careful
to leave no forensic evidence, and there is nothing connecting the
four women. In another ten days another woman will die unless they
can find the killer.
This is a police
procedural with a plot that will keep you guessing and likable
detectives that have real lives beyond the police station. A.L. is
divorced and worried about his teenage daughter. Rena has been
married for awhile and is trying to get pregnant. It’s taking a
toll on her marriage. The interaction between the police officers is
realistic. They would make a good team for a series.
The book is fairly
slow paced in the opening chapters. We get to a crime scene, but
mostly we get to know the detectives. However, toward the end, the
pace speeds up and the tension rises as the detectives get closer and
closer to the deadline. They think they’ve identified the next
victim, but can the get to her in time.
If you enjoy police
procedurals, this is a good one. I’m looking forward to the next
book featuring these detectives.
I received this book
from Harper Collins for this review.
