Synopsis from Goodreads:
She’s dying, and she knows it. If only she can stay alive long enough to leave one last message. As the rain beats against the metal roof, she uses her blood-soaked fingertip to scrawl on the floorboards... The letters GB.
Detective Madison Knight has been house hunting, but a call from her real estate agent has nothing to do with finding the perfect property. She’s found a woman’s body, stabbed multiple times. Madison arrives on scene and is presented with an unknown Jane Doe and two letters written in blood. There’s no murder weapon, and it seems Doe was attacked somewhere else.
As Madison works to find justice for the victim, Madison’s own life is put at risk. What she comes to discover is some people will go to extreme lengths to protect their secrets—even as far as murder. But will learning that lesson come too late for her?
My Review:
What We Bury is the 10th book in the Maddison Knight series by Arnold. Having read quite a few books in the series now, I can tell you that Arnold still doesn't disappoint her readers. This book was just as good as all the others I have read so far and you can pick up any book in the series and just go with it.
Knight receives a call on Saturday morning from her real estate agent as body has been found in a garden shed. The victim, a Jane Doe, has no ID other than a dying message on her body. The book not only follows Knight's mission to find out who the woman is, but also her midnight stake outs now that the mafia are in town. Arnold spares no expense in making Knight a strong headed character but also with her flaws and isn't afraid to mix professional and person relationships throughout. Knight is very focused and head strong about her career at the Stiles PD and you can see throughout the plot that she is dedicated to the force in the way she feels about her victims and her relationships; especially her partner who is part of the SWAT team.
The plot is a fast paced one which really keeps the reader going. What I enjoyed about this book is that we are not kept just reading about the case at hand but there are so many different plots all wielding within the book. By doing this, Arnold really kept me on my toes on where the plot could go next and I love this about Arnold's writing style.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book as I do with all of Arnold's novels. I look forward to reading the next one.
Happy reading :)
