Perfect for you if...

You love crime thrillers with protagonists who have serious baggage and genuine reasons to be traumatised by their work.
You're after a page-turner that doesn't rely on romance as the primary plot engine, even if there's a boyfriend in the picture.
You appreciate procedural details and the investigative work, not just the twist ending.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your female leads to be psychologically bulletproof or you find PTSD storylines tedious.
You're looking for a standalone and hate juggling series continuity, even in novella form.
You prefer mysteries where the emotional stakes stay low and personal.

About this book

Former FBI special agent Cate Wilde has left her career behind and now owns a bakery and bookstore. She lives with her doctor boyfriend and is working through PTSD from her years in law enforcement. When skeletal remains are discovered on Widow's Island, Cate recognizes the killer's method of operation. It matches a case she solved eight years earlier, raising the question of whether that investigation was truly concluded. Despite concerns about her mental health and her boyfriend's objections, Cate returns to active investigative work to help her hometown. She becomes engaged in a race to apprehend a murderer before another victim is claimed. This time, however, the stakes are higher than they were in her previous career.
