Two Nights by Kathy Reichs

4.0

Sunday "Sunnie" Night is trying to ignore past traumas in her life by isolating herself and burying her emotions. But when a young girl disappears, Sunnie is compelled to help the family and find out the truth about their daughter.

"Two Nights" is by the author of the Temperance Brennan series, but Sunnie reminds me more of Betty Webb's private investigator Lena Jones than Tempe. Like Lena, Sunnie has a troubled past, is extremely independent, and doesn't always play by the rules. She is a smart investigator, determined to solve the case, even if it means facing her past.

The story is suspenseful, and sometimes puzzling, but very entertaining. It's always nice to be surprised when reading a mystery, and the book had a few twists I didn't see coming. Sunnie isn't as appealing of a character as the novel version of Reich's Brennan, but is a unique character in a mystery that kept my interest throughout the book.

I received this book from NetGalley, through the courtesy of Random House. The book was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.
