Detective Cara Kennedy thought shed lost her husband and son in an accident, but harrowing evidence has emerged that points to murder--and she will stop at nothing to find the truth in this riveting mystery from the author of City Under One Roof. On a frigid February day, Anchorage Detective Cara Kennedy stands by the graves of her husband and son, watching as their caskets are raised from the earth. It feels sacrilegious, but she has no choice. Aaron and Dylan disappeared on a hike a year ago, their bones eventually found and buried. But shocking clues have emerged that foul play was involved, potentially connecting them to a string of other deaths and disappearances. Somehow tied to the mystery is Mia Upash, who grew up in an isolated village called Unity, a community of women and children in hiding from abusive men. Mia never imagined the trouble she would find herself in when she left home to live in Mans World. Although she remains haunted by the tragedy of what happened to the man and the boy in the woods, she has her own reasons for keeping quiet. Aided by police officer Joe Barkowski and other residents of Point Mettier, Caras investigation will lead them on a dangerous path that puts their lives and the lives of everyone around them in mortal jeopardy.

A competent mystery, first in an Alaskan series and featuring Cara Kennedy. Cara is on disability leave from the Anchorage Police Department after the death of her family. She‘s still trying to track down those responsible. She exhumes their bodies in a search for clues, and finds a shocking surprise that leads her a corrupt drug company, and a village that offers safe harbor to those in need. The setting is very well done, the story needs work.

4.25⭐
If you haven‘t read the 1st book featuring Dt. Cara Kennedy, City Under One Roof, then you really should before starting this book because there is a background and characters from the 1st book. Besides it has one of the most unique settings in a book I‘ve ever read about…and while it only visits that city it was still quite impressive since it is still set in the wilds of Alaska. This is a great follow-up and highlights Cara‘s backstory.
