Why 319? by Mark Love

5.0

Intricate, intense and gripping are my top three words for Mark Love's "Why 319?". This book had me hooked from page one and the struggle to put it down was real. Based in Metro Detroit, the central plot involving the death of three women is very realistic. The twists and turns really keep you on your toes and propel you to turn the pages. The procedures and methods of the cases are very methodical and systematic and it was a delight to read. Koz, Laura, Megan, Bloomfield and Jarrett are memorable characters along with the leadership skills of Pappy Cantrell (he has my vote for the best boss ever). Jefferson Chene is one character that I won't be forgetting anytime soon. The cases are unfolded through his eyes and the instances that reveal his humane side really complement the overall plot of the book. By the end of it, one can truly get a glimpse of his head and heart. I look forward to the next book featuring him. A 5 star read, one which will be in my head for a long time.
