Long Bright River

Michaela (aka Mick) and Kacey have a bond like most siblings, but theirs is strengthened by feelings of abandonment, and not from one parent...but both. Raised by their grandmother, Gee, they are often left feeling unworthy and undervalued. Knowing their mother was an addict doesn't make things easier as Kacey herself falls victim to the cycle. Mick takes a different path and becomes a cop.

Years go by and suddenly girls on Mick's patrol are being murdered...girls Kacey knows and is friends with. The problem Mick is having is that Kacey is missing and she can't remember the last time she saw her working her corner. Mick fears Kacey may have fallen victim to whatever evil is stalking the dark side of the streets. As she searches for her sister, other details come to light which places her in danger. All Mick wants is to find Kacey, and make sure she's safe. As the days go by...she isn't confident she can.

This one took me a while to get into. It's definitely a slow read BUT it's one that also keeps you invested in not only the mystery of Kacey's whereabouts but also the killings in Kensington. I really enjoyed the writing, flow and format. I also enjoyed the sisters' relationship. Family isn't easy sometimes and the portrayal of theirs is one I'm sure many can relate to. Definitely pick this one up if you're looking for a mystery with a little family drama thrown in. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
