Synopsis



Dear Dr. Owens,

If you are reading this letter, I am dead and I would be most grateful if you could solve my murder…

Forensic pathologist Dr. Samantha Owens thought life was finally returning to normal after she suffered a terrible personal loss. Settling into her new job at Georgetown University, the illusion is shattered when she receives a disturbing letter from a dead man imploring her to solve his murder. There's only one catch. Timothy Savage's death was so obviously the suicide of a demented individual that the case has been closed.

When Sam learns Savage left a will requesting she autopsy his body, she feels compelled to look into the case. Sam's own postmortem discovers clear signs that Savage was indeed murdered. And she finds DNA from a kidnapped child whose remains were recovered years earlier.

The investigation takes Sam into the shadows of a twenty-year-old mystery that must be solved to determine what really happened to Timothy Savage. Nothing about the case makes sense but it is clear someone is unwilling to let anyone, especially Samantha Owens, discover the truth.

Absolutely, wow! This is an amazingly complicated and nuanced story. You think you know what's going on only to realize that things aren't what you thought they were. The story begins when Sam receives a letter from a man who claims that he has been murdered and asks Sam to find out who killed him. F......more

I love JT Ellison, and with her new book being published this week I wanted to get a JT fix since my library doesn't have her latest and greatest. So I randomly selected this one from the pile of unread JT books. While the book was good enough and I enjoyed the writing. I do wish I had started with......more

Goodreads review by Karen on August 03, 2019

This is my first J.T. Ellison novel and it won't be my last! Wow! Ellison creates a sympathetic female medical examiner who isn't like any other I've ever read. She's savvy, conflicted, and has a tragic history. A complex character who is smart and brave and believable. The entire story was a ride o......more

So hard to get into. Then it got super weird. Not my favorite by any means. JT still has an amazing writing style.......more
