Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful book by Emiko Jean. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Things are finally going well for Detective Chelsey Calhoun in her job and personally, and she's expecting her first child. Then she gets a case that blows all that up. A mother is found dead and her teenage daughter is missing. Chelsey is desperate to find Naomi before she becomes the next victim.
I absolutely adored the first book in this series, The Return of Ellie Black, where we were introduced to Detective Calhoun. She is such a strong woman, not able to rest until she can figure out the latest puzzle. This story is told in three distinct voices - the detective, the victim now known as Anne, and her daughter, Naomi. Each voice was so powerful and I was completely invested in their story. It's a story about family, heritage, and belonging. A fabulous police procedural and more, beautifully written, compelling, heartbreaking, and powerful. You wouldn't have to read the first book, but you definitely should. Highly recommended and I've got my fingers crossed for more in this series.
