dear readers,
THE LINE BETWEEN HERE AND GONE
(Forensic Instincts: Book Two)
Written by Andrea Kane
genre: mystery, suspense,
Amanda Gleason's infant son, Justin has a rare immune deficiency that
only one person seems to have a cure for...his late father. Paul was
murdered before Amanda even had a chance to tell him she was pregnant.
Just when time seems to running out a friend sends her a photo that
shows a man who looks a lot like Paul. Amanda wonders if Paul may be
alive. If he is he could save his son's life. A desperate mother falls
at the mercy of Forensic Instinct - A behaviorist. A former navy SEAL. A
techno-wizard. An intuitive. A retired FBI agent. A
human-scent-evidence dog - to not only do the impossible but in the
shortest amount of time.
The Good: I was absorbed into
this novel from the beginning as Kane makes you feel invested not only
in saving Justin's life but figuring out why/how Paul vanished IF he
wasn't really murdered. Each of the characters has a niche and also
interact with one another differently which makes you interested in the
investigators as well as the investigation.
The Bad: Some parts were
dragged out a bit so that when the reveals come you already are ahead of
them.
Overall I would recommend the read but not a Kane favourite.
READ the 1st book in the series when FORENSIC INSTINCTS takes on their first case...
The Girl Who Disappeared Twice
(Forensic Instincts: Book Two)
Written by Andrea Kane
genre: mystery, suspense
"If
she'd only turned her head, she would have seen the car containing her
daughter, struggling to escape her kidnapper. Despite years determining
the fates of families, family court judge Hope Willis couldn't save her
own. Now she's grasping at any hope for Krissy's rescue. She calls Casey
Woods and her team of investigators, Forensic Instincts. A behaviorist.
A techno-wizard. An intuitive. A former Navy SEAL. Unconventional
operatives. All with unique talents and reasons for joining Casey's
group. Able to accurately read people after the briefest encounter,
Casey picks up signs of a nervous spouse, a guilty conscience, a nanny
that hides on her cell. She watches as secrets creep into the open. But
time is running out, and the authorities are bound by the legal system.
Not Casey's team. For they know that the difference between Krissy
coming back alive and disappearing forever could be as small as a
suspect's rapid breathing, or as deep as Hope's dark family history."
(From Amazon)
I really enjoyed the first novel in
the Forensic Instinct series. While I figured out who kidnapped Krissy
it was still an exciting read especially to figure out who kidnapped
Felicity. It is a fast paced read that leaves you a bit breathless
until the end. Casey Woods is a great heroine that is what you expect
in an investigator from the 1940s!
