Evie Blackwell's reputation as a top investigator for the Illinois State Police has landed her an appointment to the governor's new Missing Persons Task Force. This elite investigative team is launched with plenty of public fanfare. The governor has made this initiative a high priority, so they will have to produce results--and quickly.
Evie and her new partner, David Marshal, are assigned to a pair of unrelated cases in suburban Chicago, and while both involve persons now missing for several years, the cases couldn't be more different. While Evie opens old wounds in a close-knit neighborhood to find a missing college student, David searches for a private investigator working for a high-powered client.
With a deep conviction that -justice for all- truly matters, Evie and David are unrelenting in their search for the truth. But Evie must also find answers to the questions that lie just beneath the surface in her personal life.
My Thoughts:
When Dee Henderson writes a book, you know it is going to be good, and you know it is going to keep you on your toes.
Evie and the cold case team are given their first official assignments, and Evie picks a tough one. When the case details were first laid out, I felt there was no way it could be solved. But this team does not give up, and Evie is good at what she does.
This case takes so many twists and turns you cannot help but stay up all night to see how it is going to end up. As soon as I would think they found the break in the case, something would take them in an opposite direction, and they had to start all over.
Intertwined with this exciting cold case, we get to see Evie struggle with her relationship with Rob. Will they or will they not get married? It is one of those relationships I think we are going to be invested in as this series continues and I truly hope God does something amazing in their relationship.
I am also excited about getting to know more of the cold case team members and the places this series will take us. I just know it is going to be exciting and worth a spot on everyone's reading list.
