Rowan has come along way from the terrified child she was 25years ago. She was missing for weeks with her brother - she was the only one they found. Living with unresolved survivors guilt and PTSD, she has tried to move on. She now uses her K9, Thor, to help find others who are lost.
When the skeletal remains of a woman are found, more bones are found nearby. Detective Evan Bolton is brought in to handle the case. Rowan has a burning need to be involved - what if some of these bones are her brothers? Soon it becomes apparent that these bones link a series of crimes covering decades.
OMW I love this series. It's the perfect balance on tension, eerie setting, engaging and empathetic characters and strong plot. There are many POV's, including from the "bad guy". The story unfurls at a great pace and there are plenty of twists and turns. I'm not a fan of flipping back and forward through timelines, but it was handled in a meaningful way and not just to confuse the reader. I was slow on the uptake and kind of got blindsided by one strand of the story. I was so moved at the way that Rowan and her family celebrate the life of Malcolm every year - I'll admit I had a tear in my eye.
