Erica Spindler is in my top ten favorite/must read authors for a reason. She has more than proved herself as a talented, page turning author. Her characters are solid and interesting. Her facts are more realistic than a lot of books in the same genre. In LKV, Patti O'Shay, a captain in the New Orleans police department is out to find her husband's killer. The first clues come from an abandoned refrigerator left in Katrina's aftermath. One of my three suspects eventually became unmasked as the killer. This isn't a bad stat. I like to be kept guessing, and Spindler succeeds in that again here. I hate having to wait a year each time for a new Spindler book. If you haven't read any books by this author, I recommend you pick up some of the older ones first. Work your way through them to this one! Last Known Victim isn't a five star book like most of her others, but it still is way above the norm.
This book kept my interest. Someone from New Orleans or anyone that went through hurricane Katrina will really enjoy listening to it.
This book was much better than I figured it would be... Never knew that there were mass refrigerator graves post Katrina, although it figures... Keeps you going till the end.
Taking place in the rebuilding city of New Orleans, post-Katrina, a serial killer reemerges. This story offers well character development, good scene descriptions, as well as several twists and turns that keep the reader guessing up to the very end. Not too graphic, no romance to mussy up the storyline, and just plain good who-done-it police work.
