A Stolen Child - Sarah Stewart Taylor
Release Date :June 20, 2023
This is the fourth in the Maggie D’arcy series; it is the second one I have read. Although I was glad to have had an earlier introduction to some of the characters, this would work as a standalone.
Maggie, a former Long Island, NY detective, has relocated to Ireland with her daughter. They are living with her lover and his son. She has completed training to become a Garda and is assigned a partner to do community policing in the Portobello area of Dublin. A woman who lives on Maggie’s beat is murdered and her young daughter is missing. Because the present detective team has another high profile case as well, Maggie is enlisted to assist them with the investigation.
This is a solid police procedural with the unique perspective of an American detective adjusting to life with the Dublin police department. It was a fast, engrossing read; I did not want to put it down. It is a bit dark, with twists and turns.
I enjoy series with strong, cable female MCs and this one has joined my list of must reads.
Thanks to #netgalley and #stmartinspress #minotaurbooks for the ARC
