A murderer who doesn’t leave a clue.
Small-town detective, Rory Naysmith,
thought he’d seen it all, but a young woman’s brutal murder is especially hard
to stomach. Doubly so, when he recognizes the murder’s MO is identical to that
of Tobias Snearl, the killer he put behind bars a decade before.
His frustration grows after a series of
senseless accidents plague those dearest to him, and a second woman dies.
Searching for answers, Rory races against time, plunging deep into the murder
investigations, drawing ever closer to becoming a casualty of the dark, angry
deeds himself, until he finds no one is who they pretend to be—and none are
beyond evil’s reach.
Our Review: Often irascible
but always dry-witted Rory Naysmith is back to please readers of this popular
series. On his toes—so to speak—with the latest murder to hit Winterset,
Nebraska, Rory battles bureaucracies both inside and out of this small mid-western
town and it’s smaller police department. A reluctant transplant from the big
city, with murder, this cop is in his element and the reader knows it from page
one.
Gone Before is loaded with a cast of
diverse, quirky characters along with a budding love interest for the socially
challenged Rory—and it’s so much fun to watch.
Based on
a scale of 1-5, Gone Before deserves a 7.
