Young Blood
Maggie Wise, a retired homicide cop turned radio presenter, is asked to help the local police with the case of two missing girls.
Dr Oscar LeBlanc is close to a medical breakthrough to cure dementia and other degenerative diseases . . . but in order to succeed he needs to illegally obtain plasma from prepubescent children. He believes the ends justify the means and two young girls are abducted.
The disappearance of the girls causes a lockdown of the area and, when one of the girl's parents prove uncooperative with the police, former homicide cop turned radio presenter Maggie Wise offers to help. Maggie quickly forms a connection with the family just as the girls are recovered.
LeBlanc is quickly suspected, but after he is questioned he's found dead from an apparent suicide. However, the circumstances are suspicious and Maggie finds herself conflicted when the family become the prime suspects.

When a doctor steps over the line in his quest for science, has he gone too far? Dr. LeBlanc may have had the best of intentions, but kidnapping two young girls in order to conduct his research has devastating consequences for the doctor. Maggie Wise, retired homicide cop and now working as a talk show radio host, is pulled in to the investigation by her friend, Chief of Police Mark Hamilton. She learns that a doctor is using plasma from young children to advance his research in to the cure of age-related diseases in the elderly…young blood to revitalize the elderly. The girls were released, the doctor is dead…was it a suicide or murder? I really enjoyed Ms. Fields’ Josie Gray series but I am not so sure about this one, but will check out the next book in the series. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

I quite like this well written story.
The plot flows, the characters are well written and the solid mystery kept me guessing.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

It's been a long time since a character truly surprised me and one of them shocked me in this series premiere.

Fields did not disappoint! Her writing keeps me wanting to turn the page! Makes one appreciate the mental struggles experienced by many police when trying to solve a mysterious case.

I actually really liked this book. One of the scariest things about it is I could see it happening. Using young blood to heal old blood sounds like a new "Goop" trend tbh. Hopefully Gwyneth Paltrow never gets a hold of this book because it may give her some ideas.
