It's Tess Villanova's first day on her new assignment as a
police detective. It's also the first day with her new
partner, Logan McMillan, a transplant to St. Augustine,
Florida, from Chicago. The two are baptized with fire when
they are called to the scene of a murder. As Tess looks at
the body of a young woman, she is transported back 10 years
to another murder victim, her best friend in high school.
Samantha was murdered on prom night and her murderer has
never been found. Today's murder victim has the same mark
on her neck that was left on Sam. There have been two other
unsolved murders here over the past 10 years, and the
murderer left the same mark on those young ladies. Is there
a serial killer living right here among them? Could this
new case lead them to that killer?
Barbara Cameron gives us a story filled with passion
and intrigue in SCRAPS OF EVIDENCE. Tess and Logan are
strong characters who have great chemistry together, both
professionally and personally. The supporting characters
are a great mix and help to carry out the story's plot. Ms.
Cameron has skillfully woven in the theme of quilting to
help Tess and Logan find the killer. She also gives us a
delightful tour of St. Augustine as Tess introduces this
historical town and its splendor to Logan. This
inspirational story has both Tess and Logan renewing their
faith in God and their faith in love, although they still
question why bad things happen to good people. There is
just the right touch of romance in this mystery to round
out a great read.
Tess has taken some ribbing from her fellow officer, Logan,
for her quilting hobby. He finds it hard to align the brisk
professional officer he patrols with during the day with the
one who quilts in her off–time. Besides, he's been
trying to get to know her better and he'd like to be seeing
her during those few nights a week she spends with her
quilting guild.
Then one afternoon Tess and Logan visit her
aunt in the nursing home, and the woman acts agitated when
Tess covers her with the story quilt. Aunt Susan is
attempting to communicate a message to them about Tess's
uncle. There's a story behind this quilt, they realize, one
that may lead them to a serial killer. Will they have a
chance to have a future together, or will the killer choose
Tess for his next victim before they find him?
Funny, I just saw on AOL a story about a 25 yr old murder cold case. They have been deciding they can solve the mystery by examining a quilt the body was wrapped in. I don't know why it took them 25 yrs. to think of this, but, Iam sure there was some reason. Anyway, your book looks very good! (Vennie Martinisi 1:41pm February 8, 2014)
