Last Known Victim, by Erica Spindler

Erica Spindler's "Last Known Victim" is one of my favorites. After hurricane Katrina savaged New Orleans, Captain Patti O'shay, a by the book cop that lost her husband, is assigned the "Handyman" case, a case that had gone newhere and been closed. The "Handyman" was a serial killer that went after females, and always took their right hand. After Katrina, Patti, still grieving for her husband, gets a call from homicide. The unknown victim-a female-is missing her right hand. What shocked Patti even more, was that, found beside the victims bones, was her husbands police badge. Will Patti be strong enough to solve the case? Or will she be the killers last known victim? I loved every moment of this book, and recommend it to everyone that loves suspense and mystery. -Reviewed by M.P., grade 9.
