Many thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Gillian French, and the second in the Shaw Connolly Mystery series. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Fingerprint analyst Shaw Connolly has a new case to deal with - a missing woman's body discovered in a submerged car. But she's also still dealing with a past that won't let her rest - her sister's killer, Anders Jansen, has finally been caught and is in jail. But now, awaiting trial, he claims responsibility for more murders of young women. His condition is that he will only speak and work with Shaw on the search for the bodies. Shaw can't stomach the thought, but also can't put any more families in the position hers was in with her missing sister.
I love this series and I raced through this book. Shaw is such an intriguing character with so many layers - still dealing with guilt and grief, taking care of her dad, separated from her husband, and dealing with teenage boys, one of whom is struggling. She has a smart, snarky mouth that tends to get her in trouble, but will leave you rooting for her strength and conviction. It's also a fascinating police procedural from the fingerprinting side of things. I liked the rural Maine setting as well. A must read series and I'm anxious for more!
