"Hannah's mouth tasted bitter, and she felt as if her entire body was covered in
a layer of slime. Some days, no matter how much she showered, she couldn't feel
clean. She sat in Clint's Chevy as he drove her back to her car. The
lighthearted atmosphere that had surrounded them as they left Red's Pizza was
gone. It was evening, and they had visited and interrogated two rapists, a child
molester, and a pedophile who was once caught with over seven hundred underage
porn clips on his laptop. Hannah hadn't managed to stay calm and distant for
long. These twisted examples of humanity at its worst got under her skin, into
her bloodstream, piercing her heart."....
It's St. Patrick's Day and Detective Hannah Shor is
out on a date when she gets a frantic phone call from a friend. The friends
daughter,Abigail, is missing, and it appears her best friend, Gracie, is also
missing. Two young girls just hanging out in the local park, with the promise of meeting a new boy, and now they're gone.
Can Hannah and her partner, Bernard Gladwin, find
these girls alive or dead? Was it random? A pedophile? Or is it someone with a
grudge against one of the families? With the help of the others in the
department the search is on. Street patrol officer, Tanessa Lonnie, is also back,
along with her brother, Mitchell, and several others from the previous two
books. The FBI becomes involved when its declared a kidnapping. That involvement won't necessarily go smoothly for everyone, some relationship issues will come to light as well. I like the way the characters are humanized. They become more than just words on a page. They become real people, ones that you can relate to their feelings and emotions.
The story isn't all dark. The author has a sense of
humor that is allowed to sneak in here and there. Be sure to read the section of
Martha driving down the road, thinking about her next book club. It's not often you will laugh out loud during a thriller, but this is one of those gifted authors who knows just how to reel you in. Clever story lines.
Missing girls in Glenmore Park made for a gripping
tale. Just as it was steady paced reading, it took off to some exciting
changes. Things I didn't see coming and some great scenes. Great ending. Not everyone
will survive this ordeal, but you'll need to read it to find out! This police
procedural series is one of the better ones I've had the pleasure of reading. I
enjoy these characters and story lines.
Thank you Mike Omer
