Many thanks to NetGalley and CamCat Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest in the Ford Family Mystery series by Marcy McCreary. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Detective Susan Ford has a new partner, Jack Tomelli, who she's trying to get used to when they are called to a crime scene at a local summer theater. There they find the director gruesomely murdered. When Susan describes the way the victim was left at the scene to her dad, retired detective Will Ford, he recognizes the work of a serial killer from a case he worked in 1969. When the old case files are discovered, memories of that time come back. Now they must all work together before the killer strikes again.
I'm a big fan of this series and it keeps getting better! I love the relationship between Susan and her dad, and her dad's dedication to his job, retired or not. The story unspools through both timelines - from Woodstock in 1969, to present day - and both are captivating. There's a long list of suspects here and I was clueless until the end. I love a good police procedural and this one is that plus much more. While it works as a standalone, read the first two because they're so good! Hoping for more to come!
