The Kate Myles Detective Series   Told in alternating timelines, this gripping mystery about a PI and her quest for answers is full of twists and turns, perfect for fans of Allison Brennan and Gytha Lodge. Struggling private investigator Kate Myles is shattered to learn her late father isn’t her biological dad. She’s still reeling when she discovers that an unknown distant relative is the prime suspect in a decades-old murder investigation. Trying to convince her to take on the case for free, an old colleague recommends her as an investigator for a recent arson murder in the same small town. After giving up on a failed acting career, Abby Coburn is starting over as a promising social work student. With her life on the right track, she’s determined to help her brother, Jacob, whose meth addiction triggered a psychotic break and descent into crime. But when Abby dies in a fire that kills two other people and destroys part of the town, the police immediately suspect Jacob. As the Coburn family grapples with the tragedy, Kate begins unraveling the cold case but finds herself caught in the middle of an emotional minefield. Pretty soon, she discovers that this town is full of dark secrets, and as she comes closer and closer to figuring out the truth, Kate must solve both murders before she becomes the next victim.

This is my first exposure to this author and it will not be my last. This book is told from multiple points of views through alternating story lines. The author weaves it together seamlessly.  The book opens to a fire in the mountains. Grace is taking her dog for a walk and she realizes her sister’s cabin is on fire. What she doesn’t know is her brother is the prime suspect.  Kate Myles is clawing her way back up from hitting her rock bottom. She’s a former cop turned private investigator. Her life has collapsed around her. She found out that her dad isn’t her biological dad, she’s lost custody of her daughter and is being weened off pain pills. She’s offered a job trying to sort out the true culprit of the fire.  She’s juggling the overwhelming evidence against Jacob along with a cold case that links her DNA to the killer that left a teen mummified.  This book is a page turner. The author has done a wonderful job in providing backstories, vivid descriptions of what is going on, along with providing clues along the way.  The book is well written, the storyline is engaging.  Thank you to the author, publisher and Partners in Crime book tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book, all thoughts are my own.  GIVEAWAY: This is a giveaway hosted by Partners in Crime Virtual Book Tours for Alex Kenna.
