From Booklist:
*Starred Review* Fans of Spencers popular Charlie Woodend series may have worried that when Charlie retired and his sidekick, Monika Paniatowski, took over, the series would never be the same. Never fear: Spencers spin-off featuring Paniatowski is just as compelling, entertaining, and cleverly plotted as the original. Monikas latest case is extraordinarily difficult, reaching back 20 years. When Fred Howerd, the man accused of raping and strangling 14-year-old Lilly Dawson two decades previously, declares with his dying breath that he did not kill Lilly, his priest feels compelled to report Howerds confessed innocence to the police. According to Howerd, he was stitched up for the murder by the just-appointed Chief Inspector Charlie Woodend. Monika is incredulousthe Charlie Woodend she worked with for so many years was one of the most ethical cops she knew. Could he have been corrupt early in his career, or is Howerds accusation just plain wrong? As Monika struggles to solve the decades-old murder and discover the truth about her beloved boss, she finds herself facing one of the most sensitive, baffling, tragic cases of her career. A plot full of unusual twists, a flawed but likable and competent heroine, and a very satisfying conclusion make this a must-read for Spencer fans. --Emily Melton
