Following the first two in the series, Emily is still mucking about and unsure of who and what she wants to be when she grows up. She’s on and off again with a past boyfriend when Nick goes off on assignment to China and vanishes.
Somehow she gets involved with a cold case where a family was murdered leaving only one survivor. All of Emily’s amateur sleuthing keeps her away from her new surgery practice in Chicago and once again finds her back in Freeport. All the previous characters make an appearance. No one is more than a stereotype of the best friend, newfound sister and nieces, helpful ex FBI agent.
I listened to the audiobook while following along in the e-book ARC provided by the publisher for as long as I could stand it before the narrators voice drove me crazy. The attempts at accents and voice adjustments to take on different character’s personas was not successful and I finally quit listening.
And then, the ultimate sin to me — a cliffhanger ending. Not nice. I know there is another book in the series that I’m meant to read as well and I just don’t know if I can force myself to do it. I can’t stand Emily. The writing is so bad as plot holes hang and details get turned around and mixed up. It was also overly long.
This is the third book in the Coroner’s Daughter series that should be read from the beginning in order.
Genre - mystery, medical, forensics, murder
