The Silenced by Heather Graham
4.0
Congressional aide Lara Mayhew leaves a cryptic message on her best friend's voice mail in the middle of the night and then disappears. That best friend is Meg Murray, who has just graduated from the F.B.I. academy has that something extra sought by the Krewe of Hunters and she has an in with their founder Adam Harrison so she goes to him for help. At the same time, A second body has been found in the DC area, leading the team to think they have a serial killer.
The victims look enough like Lara, that they worry that may be what happened to her. At the same time, there are rumors and conspiracy theories swirling through DC about the recent death of a presidential candidate so they need to explore all avenues. Matched up with veteran agent Matt Bosworth, Meg starts to follow in Lara's trail.
I enjoyed the road trip of this book as the two characters visit several civil war sites around the DC area. Graham always brings a sense of history to her Krewe books especially since they often encounter ghosts out of history. As I grow older and read more, I grow tired of the fawning of so many people over Robert E. Lee. He was not as honorable as we have been told and he did not work hard enough for reconciliation even though we have been told differently. That's just a minor issue.
I always like the characters of the Krewe. I would like to see relationships move more slowly and develop over several books, but, while the characters show up again, I feel like they are window dressing in later books.
Good story. Good characters. Great dog.
