“…they might think grief should be determined by the amount of time you had with someone, but that isn‘t true at all. Grief isn‘t based on someone‘s length of presence. It‘s based on the impact of their absence.”

Last To Die by Doug Sinclair ***** 4/29/2024
On a cold New Year‘s Eve night, a young woman lies slumped on a park bench. Snow gathers on her hair. If her glazed eyes were closed, she might be sleeping. Nobody will find her for hours…Thirty years later, in the Scottish town of Livingston, a retired police officer disappears from her home.

EadieB A trail of blood leads from the pensioner‘s doorstep to the edge of the nearby river, and as he follows it, DS Malkie McCulloch fears the worst. But at the end of the trail, instead of an elderly woman, he finds the body of a young man.The deceased is identified as a local criminal, and the case appears to be a robbery gone wrong. But Malkie isn‘t convinced. How did the pensioner overcome the burglar? And where is she now? 4mo

EadieB Digging into the former police officer's past, Malkie uncovers a connection with the tragic death of a young woman decades before – and the case is flipped on its head. Is the missing pensioner not as innocent as he‘d assumed? Have skeletons in her closet come back to haunt her? Then another body is found, and the link between the crimes of the past and the present becomes chillingly clear. 4mo

This is the 2nd book in the series and can be read as a standalone. It's a fast-paced read that is set in Scotland. The plot and characters are enjoyable and the story pulled me in and kept me reading until the very end. DS Malkie and his partner DC Steph did an excellent job with the case serving up revenge."The past will always catch you" is written on the cover and how true was that! 4mo

EadieB I am now looking forward to the next book in the series. If you like revenge in your mystery thriller, then you will love this book. 4mo

Andrew65 Excellent 🎄🎄🎄 I love a book set in Scotland. 4mo
