9.30.2024 - Cougar Point

Cougar Point by Gregg Olsen 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest in the Detective Megan Carpenter series by a favorite, Gregg Olsen.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own -  4.5 stars!

Victoria Marsh disappears from her family's exclusive resort in Cougar Point, Washington, just when she was on the verge of telling her daughter some news.  Although not officially in their jurisdiction, detectives Megan and Ronnie race to the scene, because this one is personal - Victoria is Ronnie's mother.  Could someone in the family be involved?  Does it relate to another case in Ohio?  Time is ticking to find the answers and local law enforcement aren't completely on board with their involvement.

I really like this police procedural series.  Olsen is a master at true crime stories, so the dialogue and storyline feel ripped out of the headlines.  Plus, the characters are great - Megan never fails to make me smile, as we gain access to not only what she says, but what she's thinking as well.  The working and personal relationship between Megan and Ronnie continues to develop and get stronger.  This storyline involved questionable family, multiple crimes, and law enforcement hurdles to make another great book!
