Perfect for you if...

You love crime thrillers with a personal edge, where the detective's past cases come back to haunt them in dangerous ways.
You're drawn to strong female protagonists who are skilled at their work but have real vulnerabilities and complicated relationships to navigate.
You enjoy series where character development matters as much as plot, and you want to follow someone's journey across multiple books.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone thrillers and don't want to catch up on earlier books in a series.
You're looking for cosy mysteries or light crime fiction; this gets dark with a killer's obsessive revenge plot.
You need your protagonists to be emotionally distant or purely professional; Vera's messy personal life with her sisters and Bent is central to the story.

About this book

Vera Boyett, a crime analyst in Tennessee, is called by local sheriff Gray "Bent" Benton to help investigate a missing reporter. As she and Bent search for the reporter, they discover a connection to the Messenger, a serial killer Vera imprisoned twelve years ago. The Messenger, now dying of cancer, seeks final revenge. The missing reporter is not his primary target—Vera is. When the killer involves Vera's sister Eve in his plan, Vera becomes determined to stop him before it is too late. This is the second book in the Vera Boyett series. Vera previously worked as a deputy police chief before tragedy ended that career, leading her to return home and work as a crime analyst, where her reputation has begun to recover.
