Taut and suspenseful, with a touch of wry humor, Candice Fox brings back ex-cop Ted Conkaffey and his partner, Amanda Pharrell, in this story of a race against time to find a missing boy. Perfect for fans of books by Dennis Lehane or Sophie Hannah.
--------------- --------------------------
Ex-copy Ted Conkaffey is trying to rebuild his life and connect with his young daughter when he gets called to help the police with a case. An eight-year old boy has gone missing and the boy's mother insists that Conkaffey be brought in to help. Which, of course, means that Conkaffey will bring his partner, Amanda Pharrell, in to help. As a convicted killer, Amanda has never had the best relationship with the police. However, her clockwork brain and sharp instincts will be essential to finding the missing boy. Filled with twists and turns, and bits of dark and wry humor, this book has a pace that slowly builds until you realize you're turning page after page, letting your dinner grow cold or staying up past your bedtime, just to find out what happens.
This is the third book in the Crimson Lake series, and partway into the first few chapters, I realized I had read the previous book and not realized it was a series. So, I was very happy to be rejoined with these two characters.
