Perfect for you if...

You love crime thrillers with tight plotting and a detective protagonist who's haunted by past cases but can't stay away from the work.
You appreciate Pacific Northwest settings and small-town atmosphere mixed with serious criminal investigation rather than cosy mysteries.
You're after that rare twist ending that actually earns itself. The kind that makes you want to immediately reread the book.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your crime fiction to focus on procedure and forensics rather than the psychological toll on investigators and their personal lives.
You're looking for a standalone novel. This is book one in a series, so you'll want more Thomas Austin stories after this.
You find graphic descriptions of violence against children disturbing. The Holiday Baby Butcher premise means this goes to dark places.

About this book

Thomas Austin, a former NYPD detective who once captured a serial killer known as "The Holiday Baby Butcher," has retired to a small beach town in the Pacific Northwest where he runs a café. He is still grieving the death of his wife, a district attorney who was killed a year ago. When a bag of bones washes up on a nearby beach, Austin is pulled back into detective work. Since The Holiday Baby Butcher is already imprisoned, Austin suspects a copycat killer. As he investigates, each clue suggests the killer may be connected to the original case in ways Austin did not expect. When Austin uncovers the truth, he discovers a revelation that fundamentally changes his understanding of the case. This is the first book in the Thomas Austin Crime Thriller series.
