Book Reviews of Last Known Victim (STP - Mira)
Book Review: An excellent police procedural
Summary: 5 Stars
The predictions were bad, but the results were worse. Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans with a ferocity reserved for demons. It flattened buildings, flooded the city, destroyed property, tore apart families, and left law enforcement officials fumbling.
It had been two years since Katrina came through, but Police Captain Patti O'Shay couldn't get past it. In the early hours after the storm, she lost her husband. There was no explanation for the shooting, no suspects, and with the cleanup efforts taking precedence, there was no real investigation. Until she knew who killed Sammy and why, she would grieve.
When Katrina came through and the city lost power, the contents of over a million refrigerators and freezers were left to rot. Most residents abandoned the refrigerators rather than to try and clean them out. They were gathered up and set aside. Cleaning them out fell under the EPA's jurisdiction. They got on it, but for every refrigerator cleaned out, two more arrived. Two years and thousands of refrigerators later, they stumble across a cache of a serial killer's trophies, six severed hands.
NOPD took possession of the evidence and opened the investigation. There were six unidentified victims out there and the Handyman was responsible. A few days later, the body of one of his victims was found in the park. Sammy O'Shay's badge was found lying beneath the victim.
The Last Victim is a complex and compelling story. Patti O'Shay's grief and her determination to bring the Handyman to justice were both poignant and real. Add a plot that constantly twists and turns in unexpected directions, and you have an awesome story.
