A Soul to Take (Captain Rita Trible, Bk 1)
mary2029 avatar reviewed on + 35 more book reviews


An 11-year-old boy's body is found in a park. He has been embalmed, his hands are sewn together over his breast, and his lips have been Super Glued shut. Captain Rita Trible of Wisconsin Criminal Investigation Division is facing personnel problems, possibly leaking information to the media, has a mother suffering from Alzheimers in assisted living, and is trying to raise a young son of her own. She's maybe drinking a bit too much, too. The plot and characterizations are good, but I found the writing style a bit pedestrian.
