The Body Keeper by Anne Frasier

5.0



I listened to the last book (as of now) available in very consecutive sittings. My rating for this book is because of my interest and how it kept drifting back to the narrative despite all the other things weighing on my time and mind. If cold cases (pun intended) are interesting to anyone, this is a book that should be on your radar. It dwells lesser on the details of actual crimes and more on the after and the incomplete threads. I liked how things tied up and the information that was thrown up. A couple of things I actually saw coming but did not begrudge its revelation. As I have mentioned in a few of my older reviews, this last bit is always welcome.
The story begins with an unnamed woman who has set out to get rid of evidence and escapes notice, but her actions have immediate consequences, she continues to add fuel to the fire with her plans. There are a lot of moving pieces, side emotional issues and substantial growth in Jude's character. After her escape, Jude was a different person, but she is changing once again, and the transition was gratifying to watch in this last book. There is a lot more emotion thrown into this, and if you have stuck with the series for this long, then this comes as a just reward.
Of the three, I think the narrator did the best job with differentiating between all the people as well as keeping me hooked to the narrator
