What does the recent death of a Chicago homicide detective have to do with a 20 year old murder case? His daughter wants answers, and she teams up with a new member of the Colby agency to find the truth. This is a fast paced novel, a real page turner that will keep you reading to the last chapter.
Loved it!! It was 3 stories in one and offered closure on so very much! Would of liked a slightly better love scene at the end there with Emily and Daniel! But hey they decided to give it a go, so I'll take it! It was so great to find out about James and one thing that Victoria worried about was answered!
Almost worried that James Colby was alive and kept wondering where he would fit into this situation. The beginning of the book seemed so different than the end. Maybe just because of the 3 stories in one??
Totally recommend this for Colby agency fans!
But also its definitely a great new series for those that love Private Investigators solving crimes and meeting the love of their life.
