Ten years later, the Portland, Maine police detective has learned to cope with his grief and depression. When he and the Priority Unit investigate the disappearance of software designer Nick Dunham, he meets a young woman who will change his life.

My Review:
Thanks Susan Page Davis for my copy to review.
This is an interesting suspense story. The book starts with Harvey having the worst night of his life. His partner is killed and his wife leaves him. The book then fast forwards 10 years to when he is investigating the disappearance of a software designer and this is where he meets Jennifer Wainthrop. Not long after he learns is ex wife has died and while at the funeral he spends time with her grandmother who challenges him. It is here he starts to wonder does God exist. At the same time Jennifer has questions of her own and they both decide to do research together. In the meantime there is still a missing man and there is a car bombing.
I enjoyed waiting to find out what would happen next. The suspense wasn't too heavy which I like but enough to keep you on your the edge of your seat. I wanted to know who the bomber was and why, and why did the designer disappear. I also have to mention Eddie, he is a scene stealer at times and a fun character. I was kept guessing which is a good sign of a good book. I am eagerly awaiting book two.
If you like Police suspense I am sure you will enjoy this book
Sounds like an interesting book. Thanks for the reveiw, Jenny
ReplyDeleteIt is and I have just finished the second book and it follows on from this book with a new case but the main characters are still the same. The only thing that was interesting the wife of a murdered person had the same name of the baby mum lost. She was named after Dad's sister that died at around 15 so that was interesting. It wasn't upsetting just interesting to see the name in print.
