Publisher's Summary

Nine years.

It has been almost a decade since Duluth said good-bye to its innocence. The city creeps ever closer to the 10th anniversary of the year in which it found itself both gripped by murder and united in terror and during which the pillar of its community, DS Jonathan Stride, had his home and heart torn to ribbons by the claws of cancer.

Nine lives.

Cat Mateo, an orphan with a knack for landing on her feet, has bid farewell to a life on the streets. This once-stray teenager owes her rescue to Detective Stride, the father figure she holds close to her heart. But Cat holds something else to her chest: a secret, the sheer power of which she could not possibly comprehend. A secret that, once out of the bag, will viciously scratch at Duluth's still-healing wounds. It will make Stride wave good-bye to his convictions and say hello to his darkest fears.

I loved this one!

I loved this novel by Brian Freeman! The well-rounded characters were likable - or not - and told great stories. It was nice to be set in the summer for a change, instead of in the incessant tortuous winter! The development of the characters in the protagonist's life was lovely. Again, unfortunately, the only downer and the reason for the 4/5 stars for performance is narrator Joe Barrett's weird pronunciation of words that editors are not catching (e.g. "short-līved" instead of the short 'i' in -lived; and "pooch" instead of pouch when referring to Cat's pregnancy bump). They did not detract from the story; they were just distracting irritations. This story was so enjoyable that I'm going on to the next in Freeman's Jonathan Stride series available in Canada, Funeral for a Friend.
