The Summer Children
by Dot Hutchison
In book number 3, the storyline much more closely follows the life of the third FBI agent, originally introduced in the Butterfly Garden, than it did the lives of the other two agents. We’re introduced to Mercedes’ girlfriend, who has a problem with Mercedes job in Crimes against Children and when her job literally shows up at her door in the way of children covered in blood, saying that an angel has murdered their parents, it really puts their whole relationship into perspective. This one was yet again even more different from the first two in the way and format that the story was told. I was a little unhappy with the whodunnit at the end, but at least I felt that the justice served was finally finally worthy of the whole book.
At times, it felt like Dot Hutchinson was trying too much too tie characters of the past in with the present story, and I almost agree with some reviewers saying that this shouldn’t have been a trilogy- these should have been stand alones. Regardless, this was yet another fine piece of terrifying writing.
I do have to mention though, there are all sorts of gross, scary triggers. Suicides, abuse, sexual abuse, drug use, murders, etc. And the scene depictions can get quite graphic. Even prepared by my coworker for what to expect, at times I was overwhelmed. Nonetheless, I truly enjoyed this read, and am so thankful and grateful for the life I have been able to live thus far.
