If you look back at my other Dee Henderson book reviews here and here, you'll learn that Dee Henderson used to be my favorite author but I feel like she strayed from writing books that I absolutely loved. I really liked the first book in the Evie Blackwell series Traces of Guilt and I really liked the newest book Threads of Suspicion. Cold cases always sound interesting to me. Why were the original detectives or police force or private investigators not able to find answers and/or convict the right criminal (OK, perpetrator)? I like happy endings and I like to see these families get closure. Unfortunately, some families get closure but not happy endings. :( [side trail over, back to the book] Evie Blackwell is now working on the official Missing Persons Task Force. She is dating her boyfriend Rob Turney. Evie is paired with David Marshal first and he is an interesting character. He's looking into what happened to a P.I. They help each other chase leads and narrow possibilities.
Some sound bytes I liked: "The passage of time nearly always brought out undiscovered truths about people.(ch 2)" "Life reveals truth.(ch 2)" David says, "Sometimes love comes easily, and sometimes it's the most challenging decision a person ever makes.(ch 8)" David says, "When it's time to decide, you pray, you think, you listen to your mind and heart, and then you make the decision.(ch 8)"
There are twists and turns, and one gory circumstance (you've been warned). I'm looking forward to reading about Evie working with others on the whole team, I'm assuming that will come in future books!! I don't think you need to have read Traces of Guilt to read Threads of Suspicion but it will help to have read Full Disclosure or Unspoken (so you know the Ann character).
