TATTOOED (Kate Lange: #3)
Written by Pamela Callow
2012; Mira (356 Pages)
Genre: series, fiction, mystery, law, canada
3.5 STARS
Kate Lange's past is coming front and center staring with France Sloan. Frances has ALS and wants Kate to lobby for assisted suicide on her behalf. Frances is the mother of Kenzie Sloan who was once friends with Imogen. It was Kenzie's house party that Kate dragged Imogen from and ultimately led to the car accident and Imogen's death. The memories flood back as Kenzie, now a tattoo artist, is coming to visit with her mother in her final days. Kenzie's former boy friend, McNally, has also been recently released from prison and has his sight on both Kenzie and Kate.
With Randall in New York, Kate is unsure where there relationship stands and if she should wait for him. Ethan Drake her former fiancee has decided he wants to try again and will do anything for her. In the next few days things from the past will bubble to the present and only some will make it through.
I love Kate Lange and this series. I like that it is set in Eastern Canada but not in Toronto (set in Nova Scotia). I remember the Sue Roderiguez case and how it affected everyone. I liked the plot of this book but it some how felt impersonal. Every sub-plot seemed a bit rushed but this is in comparison to rest of the series. I still liked this novel and would recommend this series

3.5 stars? I don’t know why I forget that I don’t like thrillers because they freak me out. BUT I still liked this one! Took me a bit to get into it but the second half of the book read very quickly and I finished it in a day.

Oh, this was a fantastic book, very complex, with characters having all these connections, and it's strange, I wanted to read the first book because I'd read a teaser of it before it came out, then I couldn't remember the title and now I've read this one, and have the first 1 on request at my library! Life is very strange! Hope there's a 4th book, because the remaining bad guy needs to go down!!

The story was interesting. I learned a lot about tattoos. I liked how incidents from 17 years prior were wrapped up in events going on now. It did seem a wee bit too coincidental that everyone from the two sets of events were connected and knew each other. All in all, it worked, though. There was plenty of technical forensics stuff in the first half and a good bit of action in the second half. When I picked this one up, I didn't realize that it was the third book in the Kate Lange series, so maybe I will check the library to see if they have the previous 2.
