Loving my fabulous book talk with my uber cool Goodreads friends of late. It is superbly paced, it has believable, credible characters, it is, in short, a brilliant story, told by a writer who is at the very top of his game.
But then the second strand, which ties things together, is a farm in rural Pennsylvania, where Titus and his companions are raising a curious crop, one that makes a fortune. Except the boy has a difficult background, and the local police point out that his mother is off on a holiday with her first boyfriend in many years.Īll of which makes a pretty good story. A boy comes to ask her to investigate the disappearance of his mother. But her attempts to reignite the flames of passion are rejected rather harshly. Her life is too busy for men, ever since losing the one man she really loved eighteen years ago.Īnd then, her friend puts her onto a dating site to try to find her a man … and she finds the man she lost all those years ago.
Her passions are work and finding out who killed her father. She is hard, fairly abrasive, but basically on the side of the angels. Kat Donovan is the daughter of a dead cop. With lives on the line, including her own, Kat must venture deeper into the darkness than she ever has before, and discover if she has the strength to survive what she finds there. But when she reaches out to the man in the profile, her reawakened hope quickly darkens into suspicion and then terror as an unspeakable conspiracy comes to light, in which monsters prey upon the most vulnerable.Īs the body count mounts and Kat's hope for a second chance with Jeff grows more and more elusive, she is consumed by an investigation that challenges her feelings about everyone she ever loved-her former fiancé, her mother, and even her father, whose cruel murder so long ago has never been fully explained. Kat feels a spark, wondering if this might be the moment when past tragedies recede and a new world opens up to her.
Staring back at her is her ex-fiancé Jeff, the man who shattered her heart-and who she hasn’t seen in 18 years. It's a profile, like all the others on the online dating site. But as NYPD Detective Kat Donovan focuses on the accompanying picture, she feels her whole world explode, as emotions she’s ignored for decades come crashing down on her.
