A Riveting Cold-Case Mystery from Dee HendersonEvie Blackwell loves her life as an Illinois State Police Detective . . . mostly. She’s very skilled at investigations and has steadily moved up through the ranks. She would like to find Mr. Right, but she has a hard time imagining how marriage could work, considering the demands of her job. Gabriel Thane is a lifetime resident of Carin County and … lifetime resident of Carin County and now its sheriff, a job he loves. Gabe is committed to upholding the law and cares deeply for the residents he’s sworn to protect. He too would like to find a lifetime companion, a marriage like his parents have.
When Evie arrives in Carin, Illinois, it’s to help launch a new task force dedicated to reexamining unsolved crimes across the state. Spearheading this trial run, Evie will work with the sheriff’s department on a couple of its most troubling missing-persons cases. As she reexamines old evidence to pull out a few tenuous new leads, she unearths a surprising connection . . . possibly to a third cold case. Evie’s determined to solve the cases before she leaves Carin County, and Sheriff Thane, along with his family, will be key to those answers.

Dee Henderson is a masterful story-teller. One can’t go wrong diving into one of her books
Since I have read many books by Dee Henderson, I was a bit let down by this one.
Dee Henderson’s books are alway great!
Loved this book! Have read most of her books and I always enjoy them!
Great characters! Unconventional ending, but very realistic.
Action packed as usual. Love all of Dee Henderson’s books!
This book was so good! It’s been a while since I’ve read a Dee Henderson, and I had forgotten how amazing of a writer she is. Usually I can’t stand when a book is from more than one perspective as I find it distracting to the story. This story had several and it didn’t bother me at all, nor did I find it confusing. Dee Henderson does such an amazing job at writing suspense into her stories. She also does an extraordinary job of not making that the main point of the book. She writes such real characters with real problems, joys, relationships, and anything else that makes people human. The characters in the story we spectacular, and I especially loved Evie and Gabriel. They were so ok with who they where. This book was also the first book I consciously remember a character who isn’t obsessed with getting married/falling in love yet isn’t against getting married. It was so cool to read a character who was cool with who they were and fine with waiting for the right time to get married. That character relationship was the cherry on top of this marvelous story.
Enjoyed the characters. Love how the author develops the characters. I have read two books in the series and can’t wait to see where it goes.
Evie has come to Carin County, as a test run for a new division for cold cases.A plot with an array of great characters, newly married Ann and Paul, who changed her focus and step away from one career, to get married, was a good sounding board for Evie. They were the Thanes brothers and parents that added their careers and focus to help with these 2 cold cases. The plot had plot within them, the detail was great as Evie stepped back to try different approached to solving. Exie is unique in that she can quickly leave a case and enjoy the people around. Looking forward to being on the new team being formed. It was intense, well written, more of a suspenseful mystery with strong family ties and close friends working it,
This is a great cold case mystery! It’s complex and takes readers through several related crimes to help bring justice. Evie is a great character and her relationship with Gabe works well. I like stories that don’t rush into some contrived romance, and I enjoyed getting to know the characters through the investigation. Looking forward to book two (which is Kindle Unlimited, yay!)
Enjoyable read
Dee Henderson always writes a good book.
Love this author.
I couldn’t put it down.
I liked her earlier books better. This was too wordy.
Another great Dee Henderson book….they are always good!
Kept my interest all the way through.
Dee Henderson is one of my favorite authors. Her characters and always believable and her plots are entertaining. She manages to convey fantastic stories without the use of unnecessary, gratuitous sex scenes. I wish more authors would do the same.
I recommend this book and look forward to reading more in this series.
Great Author
I enjoyed it very much!
