When a woman’s body is found in the aftermath of a fire, her death would have been assumed to be a tragic accident, but an autopsy shows the woman was dead before the fire started. As a matter of fact she has been dead for quite some time, her body painstakingly preserved. DI Eleanor Raven is back on the job after a 6 month mandatory leave and she’s not going to let a little thing like no concrete leads stop her from proving she can solve this case. With meticulous digging, she discovers the young woman was a dancer who had disappeared two years earlier. But just then another woman disappears, and then a little boy. What connection do these new disappearances have to do with the dancer? Eleanor Raven is a complex, believable character whose personal demons are almost as formidable as the case she’s trying to solve. A great read

What a great book. I haven’t read this writer before but now I’m going to go back and read her other books. Belongs to a series about a detective and this a great mystery. It’s extremely fast paced but thrilling. I highly recommend it
