Mystery and police procedural, the 8th in a series that I've read from the beginning. Featuring Detective Josie Quinn of the Denton Police Department, this crime thriller has the team on the hunt for the "Bone Artist" -- the serial killer who has apparently kidnapped Josie's twin sister, Trinity Payne. He's playing a game and wants Josie to engage. Can Josie and all of the other regulars, including newcomer, Special Agent Drake Nally of the NY FIB field office, find Trinity before she becomes another piece of art in the Bone Artist's display? NO SPOILERS.
Returning to the familiar in a long running series is always pleasant. This one, however, required a lot more suspension of disbelief than usual as the elements of the investigation created a sense of skepticism in me. So many times this pair of sisters have been in peril -- obviously they are nut magnets -- but all the coincidences were a bit too much. I still enjoyed it and will continue with the series though hopefully the focus will go back to investigations involving criminals and victims who are not known to Josie or Trinity. Readers are still learning more about Josie's convoluted personal life and her evolving romance with boyfriend and colleague, Noah Fraley. I also would enjoy discovering more of the personal sides of the rest of the team members as well. Look forward to seeing what new crime will show up in central Pennsylvania in the next book.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-book ARC to read and review.
