John Craine's pregnant wife was brutally murdered - stabbed, raped, strangled - 16 years ago. The killer was never caught.
Present day - John is a private investigator, still trying to get through day by day. A woman arrives in his office and wants to hire him to find her daughter. When he finds the body, there is evidence that she was killed by the same man who killed his wife.
Throw in a corrupt detective in charge of these cases, a flirty female tenant, a nephew who is a computer genius and a dog named Walter and you get a pretty good mystery.
The characters are strong, the plot is good, there were a couple of twists and turns to keep things interesting. I did not really like the ending .... but there are 2 more books in the series and I'm presuming that the 2nd in the series will pick up right where this one stops.
I gave it 5 stars and now I need to find the next one with John Craine.
