Gone for Good
by Joanna Schaffhausen
A killer, a 20 yr old cold case that’s heating up after a recent murder using the same MO, an online amateur sleuth group uncovering decades old clues and a detective with a personal stake in solving the case.
I am a huge fan of Joanna Schaffhausen’s Ellery Hathaway series so I was excited to learn she was debuting a new series. Gone For Good is the first book in the new Detective Annalisa Vega series. She is a strong, likable main character and I’m already into this series based off of this first book.
Loved how the book opens up throwing us right into the thick of things with Grace Harper, an active member of The Gravediggers, an online sleuthing group looking into “The Lovelorn Killer”. She thinks she’s found a clue that wasn’t explored by the original investigative team and she’s determined to bring the killer out of hiding.
Unfortunately, we soon find that Detective Vega is called to a crime scene and the victim is none other than Grace Harper. As Vega investigates she uses Grace’s notes to uncover clues and, hopefully, finally identify the killer.
This is a well done police procedural with a solid mystery, engaging characters and an ending that definitely left me wanting to see where things go next for Detective Vega.
