"Once I'm outside, I take
a deep breath away from the eyes and wonder what life was like for Camio as a
member of this family. Zane said she was just like them whenever she was here,
but she was a different person away from them. Surely this other person slipped
out occasionally while she was inside this house. I understand her desire to
leave. I had the same one.... "
Dove
The horrific murder of a
teenage girl gives Chief of Police Carnahan a heavy responsibility to find out
what happened to her. Dove Carnahan knows what its like to come from the kind
of family the deceased girl , Camio Truly, comes from. The family isn't taking the news
as you'd expect. Perhaps their unsavory reputation prevents them from getting
too friendly with the local police.
But Dove has secrets of her
own. Her own mother was murdered 35 years before. The man held responsible is
now back in town. Lucky was a family friend, and now he's the man who reminds her of something
she'd rather not think about. Dove's family is at odds. Champ contacts her and
her sister Neely once a year but otherwise its Neely and Dove together to face
their past.
A few twists and a jaw
dropping surprise or two. The pressure
is definitely on. Can Dove put her past to rest? Can she help her family? Can
she solve Camio's murder? Lots of potential suspects, but can Dove unravel it
down to the real one? Suddenly tired of the way people are reacting, maybe its
time she takes them head on and gets the
answers she needs. With the help of Nolan, a state trooper, and her own crew
the story takes some very unique twists.
Well written characters. Dove
has a flair for humor that makes you laugh out loud as she goes from one thing
to the next. Her dealings with most people are quite amusing. Her interaction with
8 year old Derk Truly will leave you smiling. A steady drama that will have you
wondering and guessing. I enjoyed it right from the start. I like that the
protagonist is a woman. More often than not our crime stories usually carry a
male in the leading role. Dove is someone I could come to like in a series. While
the story is put to a rest and with a great ending, the people in this story
are ones you'd like to know more about.
