Lacey Campbell is a forensic odontologist who gets called to a crime scene where some bones have been discovered. Along with the bones, they find a cop's badge ... and a necklace.... an item that Lacey knows very well. It belonged to a college roommate who had been kidnapped 11 years before but her body had never been found.
Lacey was a witness to the abduction and her information had led the police to the man responsible. He was tried, convicted, and died in prison.
Other people start to die.. and not naturally. They were all a part of the kidnapper's trial ... prosecutor and witnesses. Lacey testified against him in court .. making her the next probable victim.
Jack Harper, an ex-cop and now a businessman, is called in when he's informed that the bones were found on property belonging to his company.
I liked the whole premise, even though it wasn't all that hard to figure out why bodies are showing up, murdered in the same way as the others had been found years earlier
Lacey and Jack are extremely likeable. Secondary characters are Michael, a reporter who is a friend to Lacey .. but wishes there was more. Add two funny homicide detectives who act more like an old married couple rather than partners.
There is also Alex, friend of Jack's.. tall, dark, handsome and broodingly quiet. I mention him because he has his own story in CHILLED .... the 2nd book of the series.
I gave it 5 stars. It's a nice easy read, but has a lot of action. I like the back-stories so that you understand why they are the way they are. Just a general good read.
