While jogging early one morning, Medical Examiner, Dr. Lucy Trask, discovers a body. At first it was thought to be an elderly neighbor, but it is quickly determined to not be - though it is obvious it was meant for her to find it. As the days progress, more and more bodies are found all with similar wounds and all with ties to her.

Detective JD Fitzpatrick is new to the homicide division and is assigned to the case. But he has to fight the need to find the killer for justice and his growing feelings for Lucy and his need to protect her.

As the case deepens, it all points to a secret behind a crime that happened in Lucy's small home town over 20 years prior. JD and Lucy work to unearth the secrets before more bodies pile up.

**************

This was a pretty standard murder procedural type book. The only thing I could have done without is the romance. But given that this author apparently specializes in "Romantic Suspense" I guess it was needed. But seriously, I would very much love to read these type of books WITHOUT the very trope "love at first sight over a dead body"

I did not dislike the book but I won't be rushing out to read more by the author... though I will keep her in mind should I need other books in the genre.
