The Girl in the Grave by Helen Phifer
4.0
What a great start to a new series from Helen Phifer. The Girl in the Grave is a really fast paced police procedural, but the main character Beth Adams is a forensic pathologist so we get the story from a different angle. Beth is a threat character, broken and damaged but starting to get her life back after being assaulted in her own home. Her friendship with Detective Josh Walker is nice. I am looking forward to learning more about Beth and the people around her.
This book starts with the victim, realising that they are not where they thought they were. Flash forward and a body is being exhumed for further investigation. It is in this process that a second body is found in the same grave- enter Beth Adams and Josh Walker. Beth is horrified by the discovery and tries o help find who would do this. She is still traumatised from an assault and feels that she is being watched. Is she being paranoid or is somebody out to get her?
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for my advanced copy of this book to read. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased
