A group of sorority sisters go diving together. But one woman never returns, dying before she reaches the surface. Detective Casey White’s investigation is hampered by no crime scene, no witnesses and no evidence pointing to a killer…
Our Sister’s Grave is the 10th book in the Casey White detective thriller series set in America.
Karol Witney dies underwater and so there is no crime scene for the detectives to investigate. The post mortem reveals a history of abuse and her husband is a cop. A murder investigation is launched but the detectives have little to go on. It soon becomes clear that someone wants to stop Casey and her team from fiding the truth.
There is huge danger and drama for the main characters and three of the team almost die in the first third of the book in car and diving incidents. The book is written from Casey’s first person perspective so we have knowledge of her emotions and deductive processes as the case proceeds.
On the personal side of Casey’s life, she is adjusting to life as a foster family. This subplot follows on directly from the last book. There are warm emotions that soften the tone of the book overall, although Casey and Jericho experience the worries that all parents face. Casey is also reminded of all she has lost out on with her biological daughter who was kidnapped.
Our Sister’s Grave is a dramatic and action packed detective thriller.
