7.1.2024 - Storm Child

Storm Child by Michael Robotham 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Scriber for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest in the Cyrus Haven series by a favorite, Michael Robotham.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!

As Cyrus and Evie are at the beach, a boat carrying migrants washes ashore.  There is only one survivor, a teenage boy, who tells the police that their boat was intentionally rammed and sunk.  Seeing the bodies, Evie has a break and requires a short hospitalization.  As Cyrus begins to investigate the situation, more of Evie's memories come back.  But will they be safe as they look into this situation?

I loved how this installment lets us in on more of Evie's past, while also introducing some new characters into the series, leaving me very excited about more books to come in the future.  This is a wonderful series with such great main characters, both living after experiencing intense trauma in their early lives.  Cyrus is a psychologist who is completely focused on caring for Evie, straddling the line between protecting her and letting her live.  Evie, so tough on the outside but still struggling, also straddles that line.  This book also portrays both sides of the immigration debate, but unlike some books I've read lately, does not push the author's opinions or agenda on readers, just giving them food for thought on both sides.  Fast paced and action packed, this is a must read in this series!
