Who Took Eden Mulligan? by Sharon Dempsey
4.0
I'd wondered if this was going to be a series, and yes, yes it will be. So that's good.
Like Adrian McKinty's Sean Duffy series, this dips in and out of the Troubles, a time when murders could be masked by sectarian violence and secrets. And yet somehow this cold case from the 80s is linked to a mass killing today. And that's the mystery: how are they linked? In essence we have three mysteries here, the case of Eden, the case of the friends, and the linkage. Luckily the clues aren't quite so obscure that everything feels shoehorned into one story!
It's also the relationships that matter here, finding family you escaped from and rebuilding old friendships. The ground that's been laid seems solid and could be the basis for a good partnership going forward. We'll obviously see how that goes in Book Two.
