About the book:
The case was tragic. But it was an accident. Right?
Three years ago, a collision between a fast-moving freight train and a school bus full of kids led to devastation and grief on an unimaginable scale. But a fresh clue leads San Antonio police detective Amara Alvarez to the unlikely conclusion that one of the children may still be alive. If she's correct, everything law enforcement believes about the accident is a lie.
With time running out, Amara must convince others--and herself--that despite all evidence to the contrary, the boy is alive. And she will do everything in her power to bring him home.
A fresh voice in suspense, Tom Threadgill will have you questioning everything as you fly through the pages of this enthralling story.
My review:
This was a wonderful story full of humor, suspense and a fascinating investigation into a closed case. I loved Amara! She was witty; there was such fun banter with her co-workers. She had a pet iguana; how cool is that! She was incredibly smart as time and time again she thought of an idea or discovered a clue that helped move their case along and she was incredibly brave. We get hints here and there into her private life as we discover she's divorced from a man who cheated on her and that she's close to her family. She's also incredibly health-conscious. Her co-workers are both a hoot and the medical examiner is quite the character. One of her co-workers is interested in a guy and she starts to wonder if she could be, too, but there's not really any romance to the story. The investigation was the focus with some action thrown in. I didn't notice a spiritual aspect, which was the only disappointing part of the story for me. I'm looking forward to reading the next one and seeing where Amara's story takes us. Overall, I would highly recommend this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
