R.J. Noonan had me from
the first paragraph of the prologue. I was immediately riveted
and glued to the pages as the mystery began to unfold before
my eyes. Just like that, hook, line and sinker, I knew I wouldn’t
be able to put this book down until I’d read the final
page.
The story
revolves around Officer Laura Mori’s investigation of
a fatal car crash with an unidentifiable body and the circumstances
leading up to this tragedy. The owner of the sports car, one
Kent Jameson, is a celebrity author who is also a benefactor
of the small Oregon town, Sunrise Lake As things unravel,
it is learned that the body is a teen named Kyra, who had
been on the streets of Portland as a runaway, and that more
than six other runaways had also disappeared.
Officer
Mori has her work cut out for her as the twists and turns
take their toll on her investigation. Is she going to be able
to dig up enough clues to unearth the ruthless killer before
the fiend strikes again?
This
is a fantastic mystery thriller, riddled with enough suspense
to keep even the most seasoned reader on the edge of their
seat. My heart was in my throat more often than not.
I see
a best seller on the horizon here, and if handled by the right
people it could become an enormously popular movie in the
near future! I look forward to more from R. J. Noonan, and
the sooner, the better! Thank you to Crooked Lane Books for
getting this book into the hands of sophisticated readers
everywhere!
