The remain of two young children are found in a mysterious bunker in the garden of a nice home and DI Marnie Rome and her team are tasked with piecing together the suspects and the evidence of the case. This is especially difficult for DI Rome, and readers, because it involves children and she has a traumatic past that she is trying to come to terms with. The characters and plot are complex and complicated with no easy answers. There were psychological elements introduced that I have never seen before in a mystery novel. Overall, I am just really impressed by the quality and complexity of this book. The involvement of children is usually a big turn-off for me but this was handled so well and the emotions of the detective team are realistic and heartbreaking. This is all around a great book, even if you are not a huge fan of the genre. I didn't read the first in this series but I will definitely keep watch for it now. I received this book from Penguin's First to Read Program in exchange for an honest review.
