FIVE STARS
Dr. Lucy Bray has me enthralled. I read the first book, “Stalked Justice” and couldn’t put it down. This was the same way with a far different case. The cast of characters is the same, only in this book, Carson is implicated in murders when five bodies are found in a lake near the town where he lives.
Lucy is witty, smart, and can make connections to crimes through touching the dead bodies of the victims. Often, she can see who the killer is. In this case, she holds back because she’s afraid Carson is guilty and doesn’t want anything to do with putting one of her friends in jail. She has to go back to good old-fashioned detective work, asking questions and doing research with the help of Sloan and his band of misfits.
I enjoyed every second of it. The plot was tight and the characters were easy to care about. It had twists and turns and a crime that involved more than just murder. I didn’t see that coming. I love a good surprise and plot twist and this story had it. As a matter of fact, this story had everything a good mystery should have, plus a shade of romance between Lucy and Sloan. I’m waiting for that part to burst open, but I wasn’t disappointed that it didn’t happen here. It’s adding to the tension between them.
Fantastic book and a fantastic series. I’m anxious to read the next book.
*Although this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone novel. But why start here when the first book was awesome, too?
