The Girl in the Moss by Loreth Anne White
5.0
After Angie is fired from the police force, she's decided to become a PI, in hopes that she regains the sense of self she had built around being a cop. However, her ability to rack up the necessary hours to open her own practice is threatened when her face is splashed in the newspaper after she and her fiance (!?) discover the bones of a girl who'd been missing for decades.
This one gets five stars from me because I honestly did not see the ending coming (well, perhaps the final final ending—after the links are established for the primary mystery, the conclusion of the second, late-arising mystery becomes all too apparent). There were so many people who made for legitimate subjects, and the way that the author ties all the threads together is complex and masterful.
In addition, this book is absolutely recommended for the ways in which we see Angie and Maddock's relationship develop, and see the former grow in a way to suggest that she's going to be able to truly overcome what's been holding her down.
But please, can we have a Book 4 that involves Kjel more? Fans of this series are dying to know his story. Even start his own series!
