Cyrus Haven is called by the police to help with what at first appears to be the suicide of a retired police officer. Cyrus is quickly convinced that it's a case of murder, rather than suicide. As he begins to trace the footsteps of the retired police officer he realises that there are links to Evie Cormac, the young woman who was kidnapped and held prisoner for years as a young child.
At the start of the month I read Good Girl, Bad Girl, the first book in the Cyrus Haven series. It was great to be able to revisit Cyrus and Evie so soon after finishing the first book. This book picks up relatively soon after the first book finishes and is even better than the previous book. Where the first book had a murder case that had no links to Evie Cormac this second book is completely different.
The book begins with what at first appears to be an unrelated murder. It is only as Cyrus starts digging into the past of the murder victim we discover that he is a retired police detective who is looking into the past of a pedophile, a pedophile who may have had an accomplice and may have been involved in Evie's abduction. The book then focuses on Evie's story.
We find out much more about Evie's background. Whilst it's good to get answers to the myriad of questions that arose in the first book, those answers make uncomfortable reading. There are still some gaps, hopefully these will be addressed in the third book, Lying Beside You, which is due to be published in June.
