Synopsis
Since taking over the county coroner's office, Meredith “Doc” Carter has been working hard to gain the respect of both her peers and local authorities. Reporting the circumstances surrounding the death of a loved one is often a thankless part of her job. Still, those are the easier cases. Random body parts turning up are substantially more troublesome, and when the facts don't line up Meredith reaches out to entomologist, Casey Shea for answers.
Detective Jay VanDyken has admired Doc from the sidelines. His recent promotion comes with the added benefit of dealing directly with the silver-haired forensic pathologist, an opportunity he doesn't plan on wasting. The discovery of partial remains have Jay and Meredith working closely together, but breaking down the pieces to build their case is not the only challenge. Their developing relationship has its own share of problems.

I loved Meredith, as the medical examiner her character had such depth, she was smart, independent, and totally kick ass at her job.
Jay was a uniformed cop and just recently promoted to detective. He never had aspirations to become a detective but I think his secret admiration of Meredith helped convince him that that was the direction his career needed to take.
These two characters come from totally different backgrounds but somehow they are just explosive...

These two characters come from totally different backgrounds but somehow they are just explosive together. Jay had a vulnerability to him that I found very endearing.
“Growing up, love was never part of the equation. Duty, loyalty, pride, those were all words I was familiar with from a very young age. Love was simply not in the family vocabulary”.
There were so many different twists and turns, multiple crimes to be solved and as always Freya kept me guessing till the very end.
This is a must read!
