The paperback version of this great book comes out tomorrow, and the book deals with 2 very strong women, so it's perfect for today, as we honor St Brigid!
Synopsis:
Ruby wakes up in a strange room. Her captor calmly explains that no one is looking for her. No one wants her. Except him.
When the body of a woman is found buried on a secluded beach, Detective Helen Grace is called to the scene. She knows right away that the killer is no amateur. The woman has been dead for years, and no one has even reported her missing. But why would they? She's still sending text messages to her family.
Helen is convinced that a criminal mastermind is at work: someone very smart, very careful, and worst of all, very patient. But as she struggles to piece together the killer's motive, time is running out for a victim who is still alive...
Review:
I love the Helen Grace series! Helen is flawed, but she is GOOD at her job. And THAT makes her a problem for her supervisor. While the book is about the kidnapping/mystery at hand, it is also the tale of inter office politics and rivalry. Every time Helen thinks she is getting close to figuring out what has happened to Ruby, she has to deal with issues with her boss. This is a rapid page turner, as you know that time is running out for Ruby, and Helen is fighting the odds to be able to solve another serial crime, before Ruby becomes a fatality. Once you read this book, you'll wan to go back and read the rest of the series! This is a great addition to the series, and I can't wait for the next book in the series, to see how the office politics plays out!
