LOL
Now onto our second mystery of the week!
Synopsis:
Two murders, fourteen years apart, both shrouded in secrets.
David McKenna lies dying in a Kingston hospital, his children gathered from across the country to say a final goodbye. But the family reunion opens old wounds. David’s only daughter, Lauren, never recovered from the unsolved murder of her high school best friend fourteen years earlier ― or the suspicion that her brother, Tristan, was behind it.
Before David breathes his last, Tristan’s pregnant wife disappears and the Major Crimes Unit is called in to help find her. With Kala Stonechild struggling to reconnect with her foster niece and Zach Woodhouse making trouble for Staff Sergeant Jacques Rouleau, tensions are running high on the team, but they must put their personal problems aside when a woman’s strangled body is found frozen on the Rideau Trail.
With a winter storm sweeping the shores of Lake Ontario, the team uncovers unspeakable betrayals that give more than one suspect a reason to kill …
Review:
How well do we know our family, our siblings, our neighbors? This mystery looks at those thoughts and sees how entangled they can be, and it is up to Stonechild and Rouleau to shine a light through the darkened web, and find not 1, but now 2 killers, without endangering anyone else along the way. I think this is my favorite book in the series, as both the lead characters are showing more of their inner feelings. and you get a sense that the team they work with is settling in, and problems coming to a head, as the case progresses. This is probably the most page turner of the series, as well. It's an interesting character study, and not one to be missed this Summer!
