Buried Angels by Patricia Gibney
4.0
In this intense 8th book in the D. I. Lottie Parker the case Lottie is on begins with Faye Baker finding a child's skull in the walls of a home that was owned by her boyfriend Jeff. In short order, more bones are discovered by an eleven-year-old boy named Gavin and then Faye's body is discovered. Lottie is positive that all three cases are tied together, and Faye's boyfriend Jeff is one of the suspects.
Having read all seven of the previous books in this series has prepared me for the grittiness that comes with the cases that Lottie is working on. The fact that children are among the victims increase the chilling tension in this book tenfold.
Meanwhile readers are reminded of Lottie's difficult and painful past and what she is dealing with Boyd's cancer treatments. Her husband died of cancer, so now that her lover Boyd is suffering with the brutal disease is taking its toll on Lottie. Furthermore, even though Boyd isn't well, he is trying to offer support to his sister Grace.
I absolutely love this series by Patricia Gibney. In every story readers get to see how the strong, resilient Lottie, along with her team, solve difficult cases. And, at the same time, her vulnerabilities show, and this makes her a very well-rounded character. As I have felt after reading each book in this series, I am looking forward to seeing more of Lottie in future cases, as well as to see where her future with Boyd lies.
Many thanks for Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
