Silenced Girls (Agent Tori Hunter #1) by Roger Stelljes

  

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

Category: Adult
Genre:  Mystery, Suspense, Thriller
Content: Strong language, We get the perspective of a serial killer but nothing too detailed, Fade to black sex

 

She moved far away to try and forget her past. A past that would seep back in when she least expected it and crushed her soul over and over. She tried to keep the evidence packed away in boxes high up on a closet shelf like carefully packing away a tragic part of her life. As if sealing the boxes, was sealing away a time in her life she desperately wanted to go back and change. Until one day a mysterious letter arrives from an unknown sender that unravels everything.

FBI Special Agent Tori Hunter returns to her hometown of Manchester, Minnesota for the first time in twenty years to investigate the disappearance of a woman who is gone without a trace. She is desperate to solve a case that will cause her to confront her own painful past and question the motives of friends she thought she knew and trusted. It will plunge her and the other detectives into the crosshairs of a dangerous killer while in search of the truth.

 

This was a good start to the series. In the beginning I struggled to like the main character. Some of her behavior annoyed me, but she eventually grew on me, and grew as a character by the end of the book. I liked Braddock right off the bat though. He was definitely the smartest person in the book. I had some issues with the way the investigation went and some of the assumptions that were made by Braddock's superiors. They kept saying they knew things that were only assumptions, but that they had no proof to back up. Despite those minor annoyances, I enjoyed this and found it entertaining. I think it's comparable to the Tracy Crosswhite series by Robert Dugoni, so if you like that series give this one a try.
