An Abbey Rhodes Mystery
Nashville Homicide Detective Abbey Rhodes is caught between a high-profile murder and multiple disappearances in a homeless camp. When the Mayor discovers one of the victims is the stepson of Jonathan Lee Thomas, a wealthy investor in the city’s East Bank Project, he forces Abbey to abandon all other cases. She faithfully follows orders until her best friend, Susan Ripley, goes missing.
Each case triggers Abbey’s PTSD, bringing the past and its secrets crashing around her. She stretches herself to the limit as she learns every life has value. Her investigation jeopardizes the safety of her closest friends, and Abbey must face her guilt when one of them is shot.

THE LEAST OF THESE is written by Mitchell S Karnes. This is book two in the Abbey Rhodes Mystery series. I’ve read book one and I was super excited to read book two.
Abbey is a Nashville Homicide Detective. She’s pulled off all other cases when a missing person case turns out to be the stepson of Jonathan Lee Thomas, a wealthy investor in the city's East Bank Project. Abbey is torn because some of the others are people that no one cares about.
Readers will see a lot of growth from Abbey in book two. However she still struggles with PTSD. She’s for a lot on her plate and the weight of the job threatens to crash down. This book drew me in right away.
This book is well written. The characters are well developed. I love seeing characters evolve in a series. This author will be one that goes to the top of my TBR with new releases.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Partners in Crime tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
