Last Look - Mariah Stewart


From Barnes and Noble:

THE TRUTH WON’T STAY BURIED.
News that the body of a recently murdered prostitute–stabbed repeatedly and dumped on Georgia’s Shelter Island–has been identified as Shannon Randall stuns the FBI, particularly special agent Dorsey Collins. Twenty-four years ago, nineteen-year-old Eric Louis Beale was convicted and later executed for Shannon’s murder–and the agent in charge of the case was Dorsey’s father. Now Dorsey is determined to find out where her father’s investigation went wrong, what part he played in the death of an innocent man, and where Shannon has been all this time.
The heat is on FBI special agent Andrew Shields to discover what happened to Shannon on that night decades ago–to find out who killed her and why. Dorsey shadows Andrew’s every investigative move, hoping to redeem her father’s reputation and capture a cunning killer. Together, Dorsey and Andrew unravel a shocking mystery that will shatter one family and rock an entire town.

The story line of this book kept me moving. I could not quite wrap it all up until she told me the end. I felt with and for these characters. I liked Dorsey, I liked that she was there to investigate something her father screwed up and she went there with an open mind. She knew that she could very well find something out about her father that was bad, but she went for the truth. I liked how all the characters interacted and mingled with each other. I did hope that there would be more development of the relationship between Dorsey and Andrew though. I liked that the story spanned a long period of time. I liked that even though it had been 24 years, we found out what really happened. I did hate what happened to Eric Louis Beale, but I'm glad that it all came to light. I admired Dorsey's toughness. She rolled with the punches and kept going.
