Book three of the Angel Falls series does not disappoint, and the characters we know face more difficulties.
Two men, one an attorney and one a detective, have argued (fairly) in court before, but only “respect” each other. Angel Falls is not a large town, so the sister of the attorney happens to be the one Detective Flores turns to for help when his ex-wife disappears. His sons are worried, and her behavior is not typical. He cannot believe it when Kim, the private investigator, and sister of the attorney, suggests the sons may know more than they have shared with him.
Events progress, and eventually, the detective is accused of murder. Then, Kim asks her brother to required. What can Detective Flores do but go along with the plan? How will he get out of this tight spot?
The real killer takes the sons up in the mountains, and the situation turns dire. The ending is shocking and tense, although things do work out. The reader will not be able to see what is coming next.
This book is a satisfying read, of course, from Tess Thompson, but only after many twists and turns do the characters land safely.
Highly recommend!
