Detective Francesca DeMarco receives a call from her
cousin's roommate that Kristin is unconscious on the floor
of their apartment. When Francesca arrives, she knows
Kristin is dead, but she doesn't believe that she overdosed
on drugs, even though a syringe is hanging from her arm.
Kristin has been clean for several years now. Francesca,
called Frankie by her friends, is with Major Crimes at the
Aurora Police Department. She's heard about a string of
deaths in Aurora that seem to lead to a
serial killer. They all have the same MO as Kristin's death.
Armed with her cousin's file, Frankie marches into Detective
Lukkas Cavanaugh O'Bannon's office, determined to talk him
into letting her work these cases with him and his partner.
All of five feet one, Frankie is a spit-fire that can dish
it out as hard as Luke can and takes no gruff from him. They
seem to mix like oil and water from the start. She has to
present her case carefully, because she isn't supposed to be
working on the case of a relative. Luke is very suspicious
of Frankie's intense interest in these cases, but he allows
her to work with him. The next few days bring some heated
words and passionate arguments. Can they stop yelling at
each other long enough catch this killer?
It's always a treat to visit the Cavanaugh family and the
Aurora Police Department. They're almost one and the same.
Marie Ferrarella brings us another delightful thriller with
CAVANAUGH ENCOUNTER. I love the playful banter between her
characters in their dialogue. It lightens the fact that they
are after serious criminals and placing themselves in harm's
way daily. Ms. Ferrarella's stories usually have a big party
thrown by Andrew Cavanaugh, a retired Chief of Police and
head of the Cavanaugh clan, and this one did not disappoint.
The storyline takes several twists and turns on its way to a
dramatic ending. There's a little romance on the side too.
You can read this one as a stand-alone, but all of the
Cavanaugh Justice series is great reading if you're a
suspense/thriller junky.
