Thanks so much to NetGalley, Sourcebooks Landmark, and Randall Silvis for the opportunity to read and review the second Ryan DeMarco mystery - another winner!
I read the first book and while it's not a must read to enjoy, you certainly learn the backstory of DeMarco's grieving and resultant issues due to the death of his best friend. Ryan DeMarco, a Sergeant with the Pennsylvania State Patrol, is burned out and contemplating retirement. His first bright spot is his new relationship with fellow trooper, Jayme. In order to persuade Ryan to stay on the force, Jayme convinces her boss to try and let her get him away and reconsider. They buy a used RV and head out.
When Jayme's grandmother dies, they make a detour to Kentucky to be with her family. There, they find themselves drawn into helping to solve a mystery of 7 dead girls found entombed in a church. The case brings to light Ryan's past and issues about commitment and anger.
I really enjoy these books. They may be a tad too long and the author tends to sprinkle the book with words that I have to look up, but they are intriguing mysteries along with lots of character introspection. Can't wait to read the next book in this series!
