Description:
1st in the Jonathan Stride series, homicide detective, Duluth MN

Mystery Lovers Review:
Just like an episode of Law & Order, Freeman’s debut is neatly divided into the investigation of a missing teen, Rachel Deese, and the trial of her stepfather for her murder. Jonathon Stride is the Duluth cop who ties these halves together. Freeman neatly describes the investigative process as Stride and his partner Maggie Bei try to unravel the various secrets in Rachel’s life as well as those of mother and stepfather as well as various classmates. Everyone has guilty secrets but not all of them bear on the disappearance. An excellent first book—I’ll be looking for Jonathan Stride’s next appearance.
