Description
Evie Blackwell loves her life as an Illinois State Police detective . . . mostly. She's very skilled at investigations and has steadily moved up through the ranks. She would like to find Mr. Right, but she has a hard time imagining how marriage could work, considering the demands of her job.
Gabriel Thane is a lifetime resident of Carin County and now its sheriff, a job he loves. Gabe is committed to upholding the law and cares deeply for the residents he's sworn to protect. He too would like to find a lifetime companion, a marriage like his parents have.
When Evie arrives in Carin, Illinois, it's to help launch a new task force dedicated to reexamining unsolved crimes across the state. Spearheading this trial run, Evie will work with the sheriff's department on a couple of its most troubling missing-persons cases. As she reexamines old evidence to pull out a few tenuous new leads, she unearths a surprising connection . . . possibly to a third cold case. Evie's determined to solve the cases before she leaves Carin County, and Sheriff Thane, along with his family, will be key to those answers.

Henderson’s latest introduces Evie Blackwell, a police cold case investigator. The mysteries explored in the story are nuanced and their resolutions surprising. If one can get past Henderson’s extreme wordiness, the reward is well worth the effort. The interplay of the characters is fascinating and sets up some intriguing scenarios for future installments.
Evie Blackwell, a state police detective, is assigned to a new task force investigating cold cases. She arrives in Carin County, Ill., and meets Sheriff Gabriel Thane. He gives her information about two cases: a missing young girl, and the disappearance of a police officer and his entire family. As the two work together to explore new angles, they start to feel attraction to each other.

Evie Blackwell excels at her job as a detective in the Illinois State Police force. So much so, that she is practically writing her own script . . . or job description. So when a special "cold case" task force is created, the natural go-to to lead the endeavor is Evie. True to form, her formidable detective skills not only shed light on two cold cases . .. . they also point to a potential third.
In the meantime, Sheriff Gabriel Thorne is trying to come to grips with the unexpected discoveries . . . both in his jurisdiction, and in his heart. Could Evie Blackwell hold the key to both?
I fell in love with Dee Henderson . . . the one who wrote the O'Malley series. And I realize that time has a way of changing a person, but I don't really recognize the Dee Henderson I fell in love with.
The characters changed. The moods changed. The writing style has changed, and not in a good way.
