Lind\u2019s prequel to her A Hollywood Mystery Series enlivens the slender police procedural with emotional depth and an appealingly complex heroine. As a homicide detective, Rosemaria Baker is known for her intelligence, wit, and fierce personality. But it was a traumatic event of her childhood that eventually became her driving force. When Steven Baker, Rosemaria\u2019s detective father, goes missing during a police operation, Rosemaria knows she must do everything in her power to save her father. Lind\u2019s plot, while linear, is full of surprises: the fast-paced plot unfolds smoothly, with a constant sense of dread hanging in the background. Rosemaria\u2019s poignant backstory follows her troubled childhood, and Lind vividly describes the tension the young Rosemaria feels, keeping the reader thoroughly invested. She’s also meticulous about describing her characters’ particularities as she delves into their fears, insecurities, and individual struggles. In Lind\u2019s skillful hands, this story of resilience, strength, and intricacies of familial relationships is both a compassionate character study and a page-turning thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
