Another day, another book by Helen. It seriously amazes me how many books this woman publishes in a year and how good each and every one of them are.

This book contains murder, death, the deceased and forensic pathologist terms.

This time, it’s another book in the Morgan Brookes series, we’re already at the 15th one and it still excites me when a new one comes out. This book has been published on the 21st of May.

I won’t have to tell you who we’re following, right? Since it’s a Morgan Brookes series book, we’re obviously following Morgan and company. Meaning her partner Ben, best friend Declan, vicar Theo and colleagues Cain, Amy and Mark.

When Ettie is out looking for fresh pine, she spots something poking out of the river. Upon closer inspection she sees its actual bones of fingers, but the rest attached isn’t skeletonized. She calls it in and within hours the police protocols are in place. But who is she? She doesn’t match any resent missing person reports.

When the identity is uncovered and doing some digging to find out more about this misper, they have a date from when she went missing and had contact with the detective that handled the case. It was like she fell from the face of the earth. A year after JD (Jane doe) went missing, another girl was taken in the same city. Morgan thinks there is a connection but the others don’t see it. The girls couldn’t be even more opposite from each other.

There are some good surprises in this book, and I really love reviewing and detailing some further details and a bit more about the story but I don’t want to spoil it.

You really won’t see the perp coming. Seriously. I went with the story and the ones who the police thought was the one, I could actually see it. But the actual perp. No, I really did not see it coming.

Favorite Quote from this book “forgive me father, for I have sinned”. So is the perp a religious person? Surely not…

I’m giving it the full ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars it deserves.
