Sasha loves her job finding accommodation for homeless people, and she’s proud of the small but cosy apartment she rents on the good side of town. She’s worked hard to leave her dark past behind her and make amends for the accident that still haunts her memories. She knows she was innocent, though she’s still careful about who and what she tells of her old life. But not all secrets stay hidden forever…
When her phone rings loudly in the middle of the night, Sasha fears what she’ll hear when she picks up – a deathly silence. It’s happened every night for weeks. Is it a childish prank, or a chilling warning that someone has uncovered her secret?
But the news of a body found at a local shelter means her worst nightmare has come true. It can’t be a coincidence that evidence related to the victim has been found at the same location where the most devastating moment of Sasha’s life took place.
Days later, a second body is found and Sasha’s heart pounds wildly as she takes in the victim’s unforgettable green eyes. She hasn’t seen her in a long time, but she’d know her old friend anywhere. She was the only other person who knew Sasha’s secret, so how can Sasha prove her innocence now?
Detective Gina Harte and her squad is back in book 13 of this series from author Carla Kovach. I am not new to this series, as it's one of my favorite. Kovach is such a phenomenal writer and you can read reviews of other books of hers I have read and reviewed by clicking here.
Like I have said in my previous reviews, you don't have to have read the previous books in the series to read this one. It works just fine as a stand alone book, and it's great to get you hooked on the series, then you can go back and read the first twelve you missed after finishing this one!
Gina is taking a few days off to be with her granddaughter while her daughter is on holiday. Of course, she gets asked to be lead in a murder case and simply cannot say no.
Sasha is a type of a social worker. She helps the unfortunate find temporary shelter until they can find more permanent placements. Sasha is also hiding a secret and someone who knows it just turned up dead.
Meanwhile Marcie is a 16 year old true crime enthusiast who has her own podcast and will go to any lengths to involve herself in the case.
Of course, this was a nail biting page-turner, like always. Kovach does a wonderful job expanding on regular characters and is perfection at introducing new ones to the story. Twists and turns left me on edge not knowing what to expect. The ending wasn't something I saw coming at all!
