A review by wc4
Dead Souls by Angela Marsons

5.0

At this point, I think I should just cut and paste my reviews of all the previous Angela Marsons books to explain how much and why I love this one, too. This one is a bit different in that DI Kim Stone's team is forced to work separately. Kim is ordered to work a case involving discovery of human bones in a field with DI Travis. He's someone she used to work with but they had a falling out and now can't stand each other. That leaves Bryant, Dawson, and Stacey having to handle cases on their own. They ended up investigating sickening hate crimes, and invariably the old and new cases all connect to each other. I enjoy that Bryant and Dawson has to partner up when they did not really got along. Stacey became obsessed with a teenage suicide, deciding to look further into it without proper authorization. We see different and complex responses to racism and hate, from Stacey who has had to deal with it since childhood, and Dawson and Bryant, who are Caucasian males.
What else can I say? Angela Marsons is a brilliant writer who has penned another thrilling, engrossing book.
