Let Her Go by D.J. Adamson
Book starts out with her pondering if she could go back and do things different.
Lillian Dove and she's been sober for 5 years now...she inherited the liquor store and the owners house because she had worked for him.
On her way back from trying to find her Christmas tree she sees a man, blood on his shirt, with a knife. She calls it in and the man goes down and tells her the family is still inside and the man is getting away.
She runs for the house to help...police show up...
Lilian cheks in on her mother who's back at the condo, and she has a boyfriend there...missing girl is still missing and they know her of time volunteering at the retirement center...
She also checks on her father who's comfortable with others dropping in from time to time...
She is still investigating, collecting clues as to the crime...
She had forgotten about the woman who approached her upon leaving the scene, she'd have to fill the cops in ...
Lilian has the rep of solving the crime in their town. Cop Sampson used to be FBI and now works locally and they don't get along together-they are opposites.
She ends up talking to a lot of people piecing things together... Like this book and can't wait to read more of this town from the author. Some parts are graphically gory.
First time author for me and like her style of writing and the detailed descriptions-I can picture myself seeing it all happen.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion. ( )

Let Her Go : Lillian Dove Mystery by D.J. Adamson

Dr Conrad's wife is murdered, he and his son are attacked and his daughter (Peyton) is Missing. Lillian is determined to find Peyton, and solve the mystery of what happened that night. Lillian a recovering alcoholic, has personal demons she fights daily, but she is determined to get to the truth. Life in Frytown is shaken up until answers are revealed.

A fast paced, thrilling who-done-it. Lillian is very likable, flawed and no where near perfect, which (to me) makes her real. She is dealing with personal problems within her own family as well. With twists turns and truths revealed I was hooked from the first page. Overall I greatly enjoyed Let Her Go and feel those who love thrilling mysteries will as well. ( )

Let Her Go by D.J. Adamson

Lillian finds Dr. Conran outside of his house covered in blood and a bit dazed. She discovers his wife dead, Son injured and Daughter missing. The Police suspect Dr. Conrad, but Lillian is not too sure. Along with Detective Leveque they set out to solve the crime and find the truth.

The plot moves at a fast pace, with attention to detail, and engaging dialog. There is suspense, twist and turns, a (true) compelling who-done-it. Lillian is very likable, she is battling her own inner problems, yet is determined to help solve this crime. The Midwest setting and Christmas season (to me) made Let Her Go even more enjoyable. I highly recommend to those who love a great murder/mystery. ( )
