Title: Little Girls Sleeping (Detective Katie Scott Book 1)
Author: Jennifer Chase
Stars: 3 1\2
Review:
The author Jennifer Chase create a police procedural story readers are able to enjoy from beginning to the end. The story is told from Kaite Point of View. The story will be well paced and than something happens not sure how to explain it other than a scene must have been written and put in later one because it suddenly comes to a stop. Once again the story starts to have a great pace and again it has another odd stop.
While it is a good read it isn't perfect but worth a summer read to get away from the crazy of kids and life.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher Brookouture Advance Copy of Jennifer Chase LIttle Girls Sleeping.
Synopsis:
An eight-year-old girl, Chelsea Compton, is missing in Pine Valley, California and for Detective Katie Scott it’s a cruel reminder of the friend who disappeared from summer camp twenty years ago. Unable to shake the memories, Katie vows she won’t rest until she discovers what happened to Chelsea.
But as Katie starts to investigate, the case reveals itself to be much bigger and more shocking than she feared. Hidden deep in the forest she unearths a makeshift cemetery: a row of graves, each with a brightly coloured teddy bear.
Katie links the graves to a stack of missing-persons cases involving young girls—finding a pattern no one else has managed to see. Someone in Pine Valley has been taking the town’s daughters for years, and Katie is the only one who can stop them.
And then another little girl goes missing, snatched from the park near her home.
Katie’s still haunted by the friend she failed to protect, and she’ll do anything to stop the killer striking again—but can she find the little girl before it’s too late?
