A review by alwaysaudreyreads
Maidens of the Cave by Lloyd Devereux Richards

4.5

 Sometimes I feel as if the second book in a series doesn't quite deliver as strongly as the first - that is not the case for this one. While I enjoyed Stone Maidens, I devoured The Maidens of the Cave. We follow Forensic anthropologist Christine Prusik again as she investigates the deaths of college students whose bodies have been left in remote caves. She has the same tenacious, won't back down from finding the truth attitude and I love it. This book kept me engaged, staying up way later than I should to finish just one more (or five more) chapter. The mystery also kept me guessing until the end, I only started figuring it out about a chapter or two before the reveal. 
This book is a police procedural and heavy on forensics, but please don't take that as boring - I read this book in a day and a half because I just couldn't put it down.

Thank you to @netgalley and @williammorrowbooks for the gifted copy of this book.
