I hope I never witness a murder. I think I would not ever recover from that. I can not imagine how it must be for two small children to see the two most important people in their life being killed before their eyes. On the other hand they also say that children bounce back more easily when, of course, they are given the right care and lots of love in a safe environment. I have the feeling Tommy and Tabitha will recover from this ordeal.

There are different kinds of killers. The one Casey and her team have to catch is, sadly, a very disturbed but at the same time a very cocky one. Once again a devastating event from the past had influenced an innocent person's sanity, driving them to act out these despicable murders. 

The place of murderers is behind bars without a doubt, but it's only them who are punished. The ones who lie at the root of the problem are often not in the picture anymore. 

Casey has a vicious killer to catch, but there are quite a few things happening in her personal life too. There are things that worry her, but she has things to look forward to as well.

I enjoyed this story a lot. I loved seeing those familiar characters visiting me again and I was flabbergasted by the killer's sang froid. 5 stars 

Thank you

Detective Casey White, book 9 begins with two children found adrift on a small boat. They say their parents have been killed and Casey begins the search for the bodies. I really liked the setting of the Outer Banks and the characterisation, which felt real. The pace was steady, building up at the end as the identity of the killer was revealed. I hope to read more bout Thomas and Tabitha in the next book. I am sure this will be a popular read. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

Wowza!

This was such a great read. It hit the ground running from page one. And I could not put it down. And without spoilers I can’t wait to see what’s next.

I love the direction that this book took.

Two Little Souls (Detective Casey White Book 9) by B.R. Spangler starts when two children are found huddled together on a tiny raft and shivering in the ocean wind. Tommy whispers, “We saw them kill Mommy and Daddy.” Detective Casey White’s heart shatters when she finds Tabitha and Tommy Roth, just three and six years old, drifting alone on a raft off the coast of the Outer Banks. The children witnessed the murder of their own parents before escaping on a life raft. Casey promises to fight for justice for them.

It's a bit sad when young children are involved in the mystery. My heart breaks for what they saw and that they are alone now without their parents.

I loved the line about one of the characters leaving the past in the past in order to see her future. But, for some reason, the dialogue between the characters seemed stilted. It didn’t feel as if it flowed in a natural rhythm.

One character's true identity was a chocker (can't say as it will give away the culprit and plot!)

I hope to see more of Thomas and Tabitha in future books, and I am looking forward to more in this series. It has just the right amount of drama, mystery, police procedural, and a tiny hint of romance. The story held my interest throughout. I like these characters and the story is written well.

The characters in this mystery are realistic and keep the story moving quickly. This talented author has written a book of fiction that is almost nonfiction. This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author. Casey White is an innovative protagonist. I enjoyed reading about her and her friends. Enjoy

Detective Casey White’s heart shatters when she finds Tabitha and Tommy Roth, just three and six years old, drifting alone on a raft off the coast of the Outer Banks. The children witnessed the murder of their own parents before escaping on a life raft. As Casey clutches them tight she promises to fight for justice. I’ve always enjoyed this author and this book is no exception. You feel like you’re part of the story and no matter how many characters there may be in a book you feel like you’re a part of that world and invested in these characters as well. This would be a perfect beach read or book club book to choose. Loved the characters, location, and story.
