Every Waking Hour - Joanna Schafhaussen
She read
This is the fourth book in the Ellery Hathaway/Reed Markham mystery series; it is the second one I have read. As a young teenager, Ellery was kidnapped, raped, and tortured; she was rescued by FBI Agent Markham. Now an adult, Hathaway has become a police officer and has formed a close relationship Markham.
While he is visiting Ellery in Boston, he gets caught up in a missing child case assigned to Ellery and her training officer. Ellery, who has many emotional scars from her ordeal years ago, is a bit overwhelmed when she has to share her living space with Reed, his daughter, and her half sister who turns up uninvited at her door. All the while, she frantically searches for the missing child, hoping to save her as she had been saved.
Ellery is a flawed character and Reed may have his own savior complex to deal with. But, they make a good team and the story is can’t put down engrossing. An intriguing plot, twists and turns, and strong character development make this another good read in the series. And, best of all, the ending sets up a sequel.
