Dawn Grave #5
Grave Catch
Not yet published
Expected 31 May 26Risking her life for the job has never been an issue... Until Now!
Detective Dawn Grave returned to the remote town of her youth to help her estranged sister. She never intended to stay.
That all changed after she met her precocious six-year-old niece. Now Dawn is settling down and working with the local police to do what she does best-hunt down killers and put them away.
When a young woman's body is discovered entangled in a local fishing trawler's net, Dawn finds herself investigating a former adversary. Les Richardson plays at being an art dealer, but his connection to organised crime is undeniable. The smuggler even orchestrated an attempt on Dawn's life, but she was never able to prove anything before he disappeared.
As the evidence mounts, Dawn tracks Richardson down and discovers a new connection she never saw coming-One that paints a huge target on her back.
With family so close, she's suddenly afraid it's no longer just her in the killer's cross hairs.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Fiona crafts her characters and rural settings with meticulous care, employing a remarkably descriptive writing style that captivates readers and skillfully builds tension as the mystery unfolds with exceptional expertise, culminating in significant questions at the end that leave readers bewildered.
The narrative continually unfolds with increasing complexity, particularly in Grave's relationship, as she gradually becomes receptive to the prospect of finding happiness with her small family unit, only to be torn away by yet another murder investigation, raising the fundamental question of what one would do for their family.
