Her Dark Grave - Carolyn Arnold

Her Dark Grave - Carolyn Arnold

Release Date: May 17, 2023

She read
This is the twelfth in the Detective Madison Knight series.  Although I have read some others in the series, this one can work as a standalone.

Suffering from nightmares related to a past case that put her in danger, Madison escapes them by taking nighttime drives.  On one of them, she discovers a suitcase with a dismembered body inside. Soon after, a second similarly dismembered body is found.   Can Madison and her partner, Terry, solve the case before anyone else, including Madison, loses their life?  On a personal level, what secret is Terry hiding from her, will she ever learn to get along with her annoying sergeant, and will she and Troy finally set the date?

This was an engrossing, fast paced read. Arnold knows how to capture and maintain her readers’ interest.  Arnold writes a few different series; Madison Knight is not my favorite character.  She is abrasive, impetuous, tenacious.  But she is good at her job and has a strong sense of responsibility and justice.   

This latest addition to the series is sure to please fans of police procedurals/mysteries.  Trigger warning; the murders are quite gruesome.

Thanks to #netgalley and #hibbertandStiles for the ARC.
