Down a Dark Road by Linda Castillo

5.0

The newest book in the series and it was a good one. Kate is back as the Chief. She receives word that a childhood friend who was sent to prison for killing his wife, has escaped. She goes to the house where his kids are living now, just in case, and is ambushed by Joseph. She's taken hostage in the house. But it's not your typical hostage situation. He claims he didn't kill his wife and was framed. Sure, typical of prisoners--but Kate is let go and has a nagging feeling that things don't add up.

So the book is about Kate re-opening the investigation and finding things that aren't quite right about the investigation. The book is about friendship, corrupt cops and Kate doing her due diligence. It was a fast read!
