A continuation of the Memento Mori series. Police detective Larkin and police forensic artist Doyle are still deep in the investigation of several gruesome current and cold case murders.
From the Hudson River Homicides blurb:
The Cold Case Squad has a problem: someone won’t stop taunting Detective Everett Larkin. He’s been able to apprehend some of the worst criminals to ever stalk the streets of New York City, thanks in great part to forensic artist and boyfriend, Ira Doyle, but after their last case, events have taken a turn for the worse.
A body recovered from the Hudson River bears a message addressed to Larkin, as well as another token from Victorian mourning culture. And as nineteenth century hair jewelry leads Larkin deeper into the growing tangle of interconnected crimes, it becomes evident that solving these mysteries will come at a profound cost. To be a good detective, Larkin will have to endure sleepless nights—lest the sender act on their threat against his partner—as well as put his relationship on the line when clues lead in the direction of Doyle’s past.
What began as a game of cat and mouse has turned into a fight for love and life itself.
SNik's review:
Fourth in series (Memento Mori), best if read in order. Murder mystery. Established couple. Mild cliffhanger as this series has an overarching mystery.
Larkin and Doyle may have only been together a few months so far, but they are deeply invested and committed to each other while also getting the opportunity to work together on several interconnected murders and cold cases.
I’m pretty sure people interested in this book are familiar with the author and this series, so I will just continue to praise the writing, historic research and compelling characters. Doyle and Larkin have found that special connection in a relationship where there is give and take, equal support and abiding affection. As always the mystery and danger is intense and keeps the reader on their toes. When Larkin says Doyle is the love of his life it is a truth that is believable beyond the fictional pages of this book. Can’t wait for a resolution to this case and a glimpse of HEA for these two special men.
