Description

At twenty-three and with a notorious case under his belt, Emory Rome has already garnered fame as a talented special agent for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. His career is leapfrogging over his colleagues, but the jumping stops when he’s assigned a case he fought to avoid – to investigate an eerie murder in the Smoky Mountain hometown he had abandoned. This mysterious case of a dead teen ice-skater once destined for the pros is just the beginning. In a small town bursting with envious friends and foes, Rome’s own secrets lie just below the surface. The rush to find the murderer before he strikes again pits Rome against artful private investigator, Jeff Woodard. The PI is handsome and smart, seducing Rome and forcing him to confront childhood demons, but Woodard has secrets of his own. He might just be the killer Rome is seeking.

I had the privilege of reading this before it was published, and let’s just say I’m a little obsessed. I literally have a Mourning Dove Investigations hat. And mug. And bookmark. I love mysteries, detective stories, and thrillers, and this book has fantastic elements of all those genres. The characters, and the dialogue, are so realistic and I found myself wanting to know more and more about them. There are lots of twists and turns and I gasped out loud or yelled “OH MY GOD” while reading more than once. Alone. In public. Not even ashamed. It’s THAT good. And the surprise ending made it even better. Seriously, read this. You won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait for the next one!!
