To the FBI, it's a cold case. To Kariss Walker, it's the case that could change her writing career.
Five years ago, an unidentified little girl was found starved to death behind a Houston apartment complex. A news anchor at the time, Kariss reported on the case.
Today, Kariss, a New York Times Bestselling author, plans to turn the unsolved case into a suspense novel. With the help of an FBI friend, Kariss is assigned to Special Agent Tigo Harris, who later gets the case reopened.
Tigo isn't thrilled with the idea of becoming a 'babysitter'. Considering he's deep in the middle of a gun running case against a powerful Houston gang.
The search for the dead girls' missing mother gets both the characters in over their heads as they try to figure out what happened. Will they be able to find the murderer and close the case?
This wasn't a real great book to me. The characters weren't too interesting. Especially Kariss, I'm not really a fan of reporter types. They're all the same, make stupid decisions, get themselves in trouble, and magically get themselves out of trouble. It's hard to feel sorry for someone who makes dumb decisions. (You go into a bad part of town by yourself, what do you think is going to happen?) She was very hard to like and I didn't feel much of a connection with her.
Tigo was better, there was a little more depth to him.
I figured out some of the plot twists, especially toward the end, totally saw that coming.
The story was a little too predictable for me.
I liked the idea of the story though, and I admired Kariss's hunger for justice and was glad with the outcome. I just felt there was more that could have been done with the story.
