The Columbia River Series gives us additional stories from characters of Kendra Elliot’s other series. Detective Evan Bolton and SAR Rowan Wolff story continues in The Next Grave.

Evan is devastated when the body found in a trunk turns out to be his is old mentor retired detective Rod McLeod. He dreads having to inform Rod's daughter and grandson. Thing get even bleaker when they arrive at her hours and find both of them missing and a bloody crime scene.

Both Evan and Rowen are heavily involved in the investigation and the search not realizing their lives are now in danger. This story got intense as it went along and that edge of your seat ending.

Another winner from this author.

Great read and an intriguing mystery. The characters are familiar and we connect with some old friends.

Detective Evan Hunter is investigating the horrific murder of his mentor Rod McLeod. McLeod's daughter and grandson go missing, and Evan is convinced the murder and disappearances are linked to an old case.
Evan then goes missing and Rowan assists the police to find him.

Great characters, great suspense, great investigative work.
I did enjoy this book, but have not read any previous books with Evan and Rowan, and the wonderful Thor.
But it was fine as a standalone book, in my opinion.

Thanks to Netgalley and Montlake for the opportunity to read this book.

A roller coaster ride of who will it be next. Read as we follow Evan while he investigates a very respected colleague's death. Only to find out that isn't the end of the missing people he and his team will have to find in order to solve this crime. This one will have you clinging to this book with both hands until you find out what has happened.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
