What you see is what you get - a GREAT read!

This is the 4th book in this series. Jane is a reporter (currently unemployed) in Boston and Jake Brogan is a BPD detective. They have an on-again, off-again relationship and trying to keep it away from their respective supervisors.

This book involves a murder in broad daylight and a possible child abduction. Jake is investigating the murder. Jake's case has too many witnesses but could it have been recorded? It took place right outside City Hall and they have surveillance cameras but were the cameras actually recording? Did any of the witnesses see anything or capture anything on their own phones?

Jane is in the office of a TV station when the call comes in about the murder and she agrees to cover the story for the station "per diem". While she's at the site of the murder, her sister (Melissa) frantically calls her to inform Jane that Melissa's fiancee's daughter has been abducted.

While Jane focuses on solving her family issues, Jake, running on pure adrenaline, attempts to solve the murder. ( )

In this installment of the Jane Ryland series, the reader follows Jane outside of her work role as she gets personally involved with a missing persons case. Jake continues his top notch intuitive detecting to the advantage of everyone. I've been enjoying this series, but this one may have dropped a quarter point. The almost, but not really relationship of the two main characters is getting a bit tiresome. I will finish the series and hope for a resolution one way or another. ( )

On a busy Boston pathway, a man is stabbed to death in the midst of a crowd of tourists, resulting in a frenzy of cell phone photographs and leaving Detective Jake Brogan with an unusual problem: too many witnesses.
Between all those cell phone snapshots and the surveillance cameras surrounding the area, solving the case should have been a cinch, but the investigation takes a surprising turn, revealing unexpected treachery.

Meanwhile, wedding preparations are keeping Jane Ryland busy; she’ll be maid of honor for her sister, Melissa, and the groom’s young daughter, Gracie, will be the flower girl. There’s just one complication: Gracie has disappeared, apparently abducted by her stepfather, leaving her family fearing for her safety.

Jane is invited to Channel 2 for a job interview, but when the news director has no team available for a breaking story, she is given an opportunity to freelance for the station and heads to Curley Park to gather facts. Once there, she meets Bobby Land, a young would-be photographer who insists he has photos of the stabbing. Between his photographs and her on-scene video, will they be able to identify the person responsible for stabbing the unidentified man?

With so many witnesses and all the technology, both the detective and the reporter might believe the case will be wrapped up quickly. But has anyone seen what really took place? And just what happened the night Gracie wasn’t missing?

Crisp writing and well-developed characters in this fourth Jane Ryland tale ratchet up the fast-paced story while richly-drawn descriptions provide readers with an authentic sense of place. The intricately-woven mystery spins out in pulse-pounding suspense guaranteed to keep readers riveted to the edge of their seats until the final reveal and a surprise ending . . . or two.

Highly recommended. ( )
