Buried Road
by Katie Tallo.
Third in a series featuring Gus Monet, this book jumps ahead a dozen years and is told through the eyes of Gus’ twelve-year-old daughter Bly.
Three years ago, Gus’s longtime partner, Howard, vanished during a camping trip. Though police, and Howard’s parents, have given up finding him alive, Gus insists on continuing to investigate. Her impetuous nature brings her and Bly into peril and twisty situations on the way to a terrifying climax.
