Excellent! Really the only word for it! When she broke sam Owens into her own series I was leery the first two were good but this one blows it out of the water. I cannot wait for more

I've read all of J.T. Ellison's books and this may be my favorite. She gets your undivided attention from the first paragraph and there is no slowing down!

This is the third in her 'Sam" series and it's wonderful. I don't rehash plots, so that;s all I'll say. If you love detective stories, you'll absolutely love this one!

I love the "Sam" series, but I'm still waiting to hear what "Taylor" is up to. I think we'll get to her again.

Read this one, you detective, suspense buffs! You'll like it.

This is book 3 of the Samantha Owens series. Sam has now switched to teaching forensics. She receives a disturbing letter from a dead man imploring her to solve his murder but all signs point to suicide. When Sam learns Savage left a will requesting she autopsy his body, she feels compelled to look into the case. Sam's own postmortem discovers clear signs that Savage was indeed murdered. And she finds DNA from a kidnapped child whose remains were recovered years earlier. The investigation takes Sam into the shadows of a twenty-year-old mystery that must be solved to determine what really happened to Timothy Savage. Nothing about the case makes sense, but it is clear someone is unwilling to let anyone, especially Samantha Owens, discover the truth.

This fast moving thriller kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The characters were well-developed and the plot was well paced. J.T. Ellison has a knack of keeping you riveted and wanting more. Lots of twists and turns make you change your mind about what is going on. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I would highly recommend this series to those who like suspenseful thrillers.
