A Grave End
Bodies of Evidence Book 4
by Wendy Roberts
A woman died years ago, and the body’s still missing.
Julie Hall’s conscience tells her she needs to use her skills to help a grieving family find their daughter’s long-missing remains. The problem is, Alice was last seen in Julie’s hometown—a place so full of traumatic memories, the very idea of returning there nearly paralyzes Julie.
Clear boundaries help Julie overcome her fears and take the job. She’ll go all out with her search, but only for one week. An end date in sight will ease the anxiety she and her FBI boyfriend have about the price she’ll have to pay to do the right thing.
Despite a growing sense of foreboding as she hits one dead end after another, Julie is driven to keep looking for Alice. But after receiving vile threats and with her self-imposed deadline looming, Julie realizes she was right to be afraid—and she worries she may not survive this case.
Don’t miss the first three books in the Bodies of Evidence series by Wendy Roberts. A Grave Calling, A Grave Search and A Grave Peril are all available now from Carina Press!
Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐
Julie's back along with her FBI boyfriend, Garrett, and best friend, Tracey. Julie's current case brings her much closer to her past than she'd prefer, so there's some understandable angst with that. Plus, she has a more recent problem to deal with, but we don't get the whole story on that until close to the end. We don't see as much of the dousing rods as I would've liked in this one, which is where this character truly shines, and the case or cases are pretty easy to figure out. The clues are all there, and some things are almost right in your face, at least on the person or persons involved. The why of one part is a bit out there for anyone to figure out. We do get lots of Tracey, which is a big plus for me since she's one of my favorite characters in the series. I also really like Garrett. He shows way more patience than I would, and he's just one of those characters you can't help but like. We do get more of him than in the last book, but he's still popping in and out. In the end, I still like Tracey and Garrett more than our heroine, but Julie has grown on me. I'm not sure where this series will go from here or if there is even another book planned for these characters, but I will say that I'm happy with how this one concluded. I think it was just about right for these characters.
