I was fortunate to receive this book as an Advance Reader Copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an objective review.
Private Investigator Jessie Cole is back and this time she is tasked to find two women – one who walked out of her home thirty years ago, never to be seen again, thought to have been killed by her husband, and a second young woman who left a traumatic home as a teenager, and stands to inherit her grandmothers estate if she can be located. Jessie delegates one case to her quirky assistant Zee, while she begins the search for the long missing heiress.
Meanwhile, Jessie’s friend and local reporter Ben Morrison continues his struggle to remember who he was before a car accident took his memory from him years ago. Now married and with a young daughter, he sees and hears glimpses into the past that make him apprehensive of what he doesn’t remember, and yet desperately wanting to know…
And lastly, a young couple has been kidnapped and forced into an underground box of sorts by an unknown captor, and it will take all of their resourcefulness to gain their freedom. As time elapses they learn some surprising things about one another…
Jessie, Dee, Ben & Jess’s boyfriend Colin work to bring each case to fruition, they do so with surprising and not necessarily happy results, and the murder of a local child molester has Ben searching deep inside himself in fear of what he might find…
Another fabulous read from T. R. Ragan! I loved the interval character development of both Zee and Ben, as well as Colin’s sixth sense regarding Ben. I anxiously await the next in the series as we learn more about Zee and about who Ben really is…or was…
Great read!! Great series!!
