Never Forgotten

by Bea Kendall, L.S. Fellows

One man’s fight for the truth never ends – even after his death. When his fiancée is murdered, barrister Tom Finnegan vows to bring the killer to justice. Constantly demanding updates from the police, he keeps the case visible for years to come. Hopes are raised, then dashed when leads don’t pan out. Eventually the case is assigned to the archives. He won’t give in. As his first and only love, she can never be forgotten. Retrained in criminology, and working as a professor, he teaches his students to profile perpetrators of the most heinous crimes. But there is only ever one case on his mind. At last, some thirty years later, advancements in soil forensics provide the evidence he’s been waiting for. By now, though, Tom’s health is failing and cancer claims him before he can solve the case. Ever mindful of his own fragility, Tom bequeaths the challenge to three of his star pupils. Can his students finish what he started?

I’ve always wondered how cases go cold, leaving friends and family behind, always wondering, who? Who could have been so sick to have murdered an innocent person. Three college students work together to help solve a murder that their teacher, Tom (who just recently passed away), had started over a decade ago. It’s fascinating how, with new technology, things can finally be solved. It was refreshing to read how the three gave new found information to the police to follow up with. It became better when an officer who actually cared was assigned the case! I loved seeing how things were worked out to bring things to a conclusion.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Perfect cosy mystery

The description for the book was enticing; to solve a cold case. As there was only one review for the book when I started reading, I did not know what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed. The book deals with the pain of losing someone to murder which sadly became a cold case. The story was believable as were the characters and the foundation set for their next cold case.
