A procedural story that requires extensive thought in determining the actions of those behind the scenes.
What would propell anyone to commit such a heinous act much like having two families just days apart?
Could these similarities end there or is there a whole 'Pandora's box' literally waiting under the wing -or the floor - no pun intended.
The fact there's a young child involved named Jade who is an eyewitness to murder but can't recall details makes this a more heinous crime.
Who would kill Maria (Jade's mom) and why on Earth are the Blackman's the 2nd in line to be brutally murdered?
The attention to detail per each crime nearly knocked me to my knees. It was so descriptive and hair-raisingly alarming. For example, the woman involved fought for her life so much so she had lost fingernails in the process. Her child was covered in her mother's own blood.
Added to the pressure was the fact that these families might have been targeted.
Blood money? Drug money? What MO (modus operandi) could we have incurred?
Could the reasoning lie somewhere in the 'fine print' with the Blackman's (Ron/Sandy) and will there be a 3rd similar crime?
As the writing goes forward we uncover so many secrets, lies, hidden agendas that we're left wondering if these crimes will ever be solved and those who went missing be found?
If they're found will they be alive or dead? Will the truth be exposed?
Could there be more than just, 'meets the eye' happening here?
Will there be a LAST ONE!!!
My word, so much action here that you'll want to take a few gulps in between.
Thank you to Charlie Gallagher, Joffe Books, and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
