Liked It “I'm giving this book four stars because I grew tired of hearing so much about every major character's breasts and other body parts (I will note that Freeman does not spend as much time describing the attributes of penises as much as he does boobs). |

This is the story of a missing 17-year old girl. The evidence points to murder and soon, to her stepfather. She is the second girl in a years time to go missing. Is there a serial killer on the prowl in Minnesota? That is what Detective Jonathan Stride has to figure out. Something about the case bothers him although he cannot put his finger on it, but he isn't going to rest until he solves the mystery”
“This story involved an aging policeman in Duluth and the disappearance of two teenage girls at separate times. He becomes obsessed with finding the killer. His personal life is something of a shambles as well. I enjoyed it.”

Pretty good read; lots of twists and turns, so suspense keeps you drawn in. ”
“A Harlan Coban–esque murder/psychological suspense structure and some uninspired writing ("He saw urgency written in her face") add up to a mildly interesting but unsurprising thriller for first-timer Freeman. Called to investigate the disappearance of beautiful teenager Ruth Stoner, Duluth, Minn., police detective Lt. Jonathan Stride is haunted by the disappearance of another teen, Kerry McGrath, 14 months earlier. Stride's an honest, likable cop, full of angst over the cancer death of his beloved wife. He has a great working relationship with diminutive partner Maggie Bei, who's been in love with him for years. As Stride and Mags investigate, the only aspect of the case that becomes clear is that everyone involved with the crime—the victim, her family and her friends—is guilty of something. Tweezing apart these strands of guilt and trying to connect them to the missing Ruth occupies Stride for more than three years. Finally, in an extended denouement, the pieces fall into place, and Stride is able to solve not only the mysteries of both Ruth and Kelly, but mend his own fractured life as well.

The plot was well done. I enjoyed the scenes set both in Duluth and in Las Vegas. It was interesting to see where characters such as Stride and Serena started out and how they grew, even within this novel. A hearty thumbs up for this.”
