Grace Riley is a forensic pathologist
in rural Missouri. Not the kind of place
where you anticipate stumbling across a lot of murders. Though the evidence seems to indicate Mavis
died of natural causes, something about this case doesn’t sit right with
Grace. It’s Friday night, Grace is alone
and conducting an autopsy in the mortuary when she hears a noise. She investigates, but it isn’t until she goes
outside that she finds the source of the noise and dials 911. The new local sheriff, Nate Cox, is on duty
and responds to the call. These two
working together will not be deterred until they get to the bottom of it.
I really enjoyed Body
of Evidence, and from page one, I was hooked. The main characters, Grace and Nate, were likeable
and had interesting careers. I liked
learning about the job of a forensic pathologist, and very different in a rural
setting as opposed to a big city. I
enjoyed their friendship and developing romance. I also liked Grace’s relationship with her
sisters. Eve and Cate. They were caring
and supportive. The townspeople were
intriguing, and I found myself examining them through the lens of a perspective of a suspect.
I appreciated that this a
clean novel. Faith is talked about a
little bit in the novel. I would have
liked to have had that element further developed with the main characters. I did figure out who the bad guy was and wanted
to learn about their motives and why they did their dastardly deeds. Very much liked Grace and Nate, there were upright
in character, determined to find the truth and fight for justice.
If you like suspense and
intrigue, if you like books that involve law enforcement and medical mysteries,
I recommend Body of Evidence by Irene Hannon.
I would like to thank Revell
Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a complimentary
copy Body of Evidence by Irene Hannon. I was under no obligation to give a favorable
review.
