The latest in the Lane Winslow series, this time we find Lane and Darling in the wilds of Mexico seeking Darling’s kidnapped brother, while back home in Nelson the young police officers solve a local kidnapping, murder, and smuggling ring. I enjoyed this split story – I bit like A Match Made for Murder – and was pleased to see the local romances advancing, if slowly. The coincidences that align to bring Lane once more into confrontation with her past were the least believable bit – can the woman not go anywhere without being recognized? – but it was still worthwhile to read more about her wartime activities. Hopefully Whishaw can keep up the pace of an annual story (there is a new novel coming in October, but it’s a Lane backstory) so the love stories for both Ames and Terrell, as well as the career path for April McCavity, can truly move forward.
Fate: already delivered to fellow Lane fan.
