Now Cate has finally settled down for a quiet life, she's ready to leave her FBI past and murderer hunting behind her. But the discovery of bones, linked to a serial killer Cate helped put away 8 years ago, throws her back into the frontline. Can she stop the killer from striking again?
I really enjoy these little novellas. They have a distinct small town feel, where everybody knows everything and gossip is rife. Being 5 stories in, I've started to get attached to a few of them and Cate and Tessa are a good team, surrounded by a number of interesting secondary characters.
The plot is very fast paced (at 91 pages it has to be), but as a result it does feel that certain discoveries are made far too easily and with little effort. The conclusion and reveal are also very rushed, with explanations for actions thrown out during high tension scenes as off hand comments that don't get properly developed.
Fast novel with a small town atmosphere, these are nice little fun novellas with mystery twists that can be read in about an hour.
