Detectives Kane and Alton #22

Her heart races as she waits for her date to arrive. When the doorbell rings, her excitement quickly turns to fear when she takes in her date’s menacing stare as he closes the door behind him. He’s not here to find love, and there’s no time to scream before her world goes black…

When Dakota Slade fails to turn up to work at the general store, Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane visit her home in Black Rock Falls. TV still blaring, Dakota’s lifeless body is draped across the battered old sofa, her dark hair hanging over her delicate face, her young life taken too soon. With a shuddering breath, Jenna notices two small scorch marks on the back of the victim’s neck. Dakota has been electrocuted.

Leaping into action, Jenna traces Dakota’s last steps but quickly hits a wall. Dakota went to church every week, helped at local charities, and she was loved by those around her. Why would anyone want to harm her?

Then another young woman is found dead in her living room, the same two burn marks on her neck. Jenna’s heart shatters. Convinced a twisted killer is preying on women who live alone, she fears another innocent soul will be taken soon.

A breakthrough comes when Jenna uncovers rumors of a sleazy customer who visited both victims at work. Watching CCTV footage, her pulse pounds as she looks at the screen. The man in the film is someone close to her, someone she thought she could trust. Can Jenna take down the killer if it’s someone she loves? And will she catch him in time to stop another vulnerable young woman being murdered?

Review

Thus series is one I am always looking forward to and that is still going strong.

It’s a bit double for me. On the one hand, I want a new book very much because I am utterly captivated by the stories, but on the other hand I am always a bit afraid too. Afraid something is going to happen to either Jenna or Dave which might be the ending of the series. I sincerely hope the author has a lot of inspiration to keep them going for a very, very long time.

As strange as it may seem, the characters have a special place in my heart. If I have to pick a favorite one, it has to be Dave. He is a big, strong fighting machine, but with a big heart beating inside.

So yes, once again I was sitting on the edge of my seat and praying to keep the recurring characters safe.

At the end of the book it’s time to celebrate Thanksgiving and there seems to be a lot to be grateful for…

Needless to add I had my eyes wide open, because I did not want to miss the tiniest detail. 5 stars

Thank you
