54. The Body Keeper by Anne Frasier

#3 Det. Jude Fontaine
listened on Audible
read by Emily Sutton-Smith
Unabridged audio (9:10)
2019 Thomas & Mecer
300 pgs.
Adult Detective Series
Finished 6/14/2019
Goodreads rating:  4.53 - 1097 ratings
My rating:  5
Setting: Contemporary Minneapolis

First line/s:  "Once the bodies were loaded, she slid into the driver's seat, turned the ignition key --- and heard nothing but a terrifying click."

My comments:  Frasier is a superb writer and storyteller.  She puts you directly into the heads of each of her characters so that you can see and feel what they’re thinking and why they’re doing what they’re doing.  The icy cold Minneapolis winter setting is also a solid character in the story, and she has flushed out its attributes as clearly as those as her characters. I certainly hope that this does not finish the series for Jude Fontaine, though it does wrap up really nicely and well. I so want to re-engage with these characters. A brilliant book that I greatly enjoyed.

Goodreads synopsis: The Thriller Award–winning series continues as Detective Jude Fontaine finds a decades-old connection to missing children that will freeze her blood. A boy’s frozen body is found trapped in the ice of a Minneapolis lake.
