My review.
woods at dusk by Kate Watterson. Detective Chris Bailey Book 2. No motive. No weapon. No confession. One suspect. It isn’t every day that Detective Chris Bailey is handed a triple homicide.They may have their share of problems in the scenic wooded hills of Tennessee, but news that a young man — a child, really — wiped out his entire family sends a ripple of shock through the whole community.Seventeen-year-old Colin Simon is witnessed fleeing the scene, gun in hand. He’s arrested for murder, but refuses to explain any of it. Not even what he did with the gun.The police have their suspect, so is it case closed?The victims were Colin’s mom, stepdad and grandma. He swears he didn’t do it and he had no reason to kill them.Bailey suspects there is more to this case than meets the eye. Who is Colin protecting? And how far will they go to hide the truth?Detective Bailey is in a race against time to catch a killer. A very good read with good characters. Likeable story. 4*.
Blurb.
