Her Final Breath - Carolyn Arnold
She read
Publication Date: Feb. 17, 2023
This is the seventh in the Prince William County Detective Amanda Steele series; it is the second one I have read.
When a mother and child are murdered and found buried in a local park, Amanda and her partner, Trent, are on the case. Were they the victims of the mother’s abusive police officer husband or could there be a serial killer afoot? And why is their acting supervisor behaving a bit mysterious and out of character?
This was an engrossing, fast paced read; I didn’t want to put it down!. Arnold knows how to capture and maintain her readers’ interest. I like the main characters in this series and enjoy seeing how their relationships change and grow. Attention was shed on the devastating effects PTSD as well as the frustrations in addressing spousal abuse. My only hesitancy about this story was that the abusive husbands interviewed all seemed to be carbon copies of each other.
This could easily be read as a standalone. I enjoy Arnold’s books and have added them to my list of must read series featuring police procedurals and strong, capable female protagonists.
