The Body Keeper by Anne Frasier
5.0
Normally a third book in a series isn't as good as the first, I actually liked this one the best. Detective Jude Fontaine took a bit of time to grow on me, but she really has and I want more!
"A boy’s frozen body is found trapped in the ice of a Minneapolis lake. The horrifying discovery leads Detective Jude Fontaine and her partner, Uriah Ashby, to more bodies in the ice, all of twelve-year-old boys missing for twenty years. Then, in one of the worst blizzards the city has ever seen, a four-year-old is abandoned on Jude’s doorstep. The child can’t tell them where he’s from, who his parents are, or how he got there. He doesn’t even know his name. But in his unspoken language, Jude reads something horrifying—a connection to the dead boys. Now a four-year-old with no name may be the only key to a twenty-year-old, very cold case."
This is actually the last book in this series (wish there was more!) and Anne Frasier as always wrote an amazing book. Her character development is like no other. I truly fall in love with all her characters. The descriptions, the scenes, the mysteries with twists and turns are always amazing.
I read this in two days. If I didn't have something to do, would have finished the first night. I'm still not over the the Elise Sandburg series being done so Jude had a lot to live up to for me. I didn't think she could, even though I did truly enjoy the first two books in the series. Anne Frasier really came through by this one though. I fell in love with Jude. She had so much growth in this book, and it was amazing reading seeing how she dealt with being kidnapped all those years. She is such a strong character. This is really amazing series.
I recommend starting at book one in the series and binge reading all 3 in a row if you haven't read any yet! Then go back and read everything by Anne Frasier, seriously she is such an amazing author. Really one of my top 10 favorites. I will read anything she writes!
* I was given a kindle edition to read prior to release. I would have read anyways though, I thank my lucky stars that I get to review her books early because the wait is awful! This book is also available on kindle unlimited if you have that!
