Genre: Police Procedural
First Sentence: "And when did you find the body"-Officer Neworth paused for a moment before adding-"parts? When did you find the body parts?"
Blurb: When a local teenager discovers a severed hand and foot washed up on the shore of the small town of Point Mettier, Alaska, Cara Kennedy is on the case. A detective from Anchorage, she has her own motives for investigating the possible murder in this isolated place, which can be accessed only by a tunnel.
After a blizzard causes the tunnel to close indefinitely, Cara is stuck among the odd and suspicious residents of the town—all 205 of whom live in the same high-rise building and are as icy as the weather. Cara teams up with Point Mettier police officer Joe Barkowski, but before long the investigation is upended by fearsome gang members from a nearby native village.
Haunted by her past, Cara soon discovers that everyone in this town has something to hide. Will she be able to unravel their secrets before she unravels?" (GoodReads)
My Opinion: I loved the twist at the end. Not sure if that will be the entrance point for another book, but it did leave the reader with an important question unanswered.
Davidson Condo’s draws inspiration from the Begich Towers in Whittier, Alaska. A building where the city is literally under one roof. The DaveCo is the place where everyone reinvents themselves. A safe place for women to hide out and be watched over, even if they feel they are being spied on. Every person has a secret and everyone is memorable.
When the reports of a foot and hand washing up on shore and a police detective who is out on medical disability collide, curious events begin to unravel. It doesn’t help that a storm has closed off the only access to town, but that adds another creepy layer when you realize no one is telling the truth and bad people are out there seeking revenge.
