Speaking of secrets kept from those we love...
While the major crimes unit is investigating the mysterious death of a young single mother, Kala Stonechild has to deal with her niece's father coming back into her life.
Synopsis:
Keeping secrets is a very bad idea.
Former teenage runaway and new single mother Nadia Armstrong moves to Kingston to turn her life around. But six months after she rents a low-end apartment, her body is found at an isolated construction site. Major Crimes begins piecing together her last days, uncertain if it is a case of suicide or murder. To make matters more difficult, a member of the team is leaking information, putting Staff Sergeant Rouleau in a precarious position.
Meanwhile, Officer Kala Stonechild’s niece, Dawn, is secretly corresponding with her father, who’s out on early parole and turns up in town uninvited.Dawn’s friend Vanessa is also keeping a dangerous secret — her relationship with an older man named Leo, who preys on young girls. And it’s not long before he has Dawn in his sights.
Review:
This story also looks at secrets among family members,and how what seems to be unrelated matters can always have a connection, only in this case, that connection is much closer to home for Stonechild. In many ways it's also the story of letting the past haunt and control you, and when is it time to let go. Sometimes waiting too long creates ripples that are unexpected and unwelcomed. And sometimes, they let you know you are stringer than you though you were. both Stonechild and Dawn feature equally in this book, and it's a nice change up and adds a lot to the series, yet the book can be read alone from the series. Another great addition from Brenda!
