D. D. Warren, a Boston Homicide Detective, prides herself on solving cases. But there is one cold case that still disturbs her. The strangling death of college student Jaylin Banks, whose body was found in the stairwell of the library one late night. Only her white Keds sneakers were missing.
Now, ten years later, D. D. has brought in two consultants from Oregon, the husband and wife team of Quincy and Rainie Connor.
Years before, three suspects had been interviewed: Jaylin’s boyfriend, James Duchovny, and two security guards: Dennis Ringham and Santana.
As the two consultants interrogate each of them again, no new information comes forth. It is only when they bring in Erin Pizzey (the alias for Rebecca Stein), a woman who runs the battered woman’s shelter, that more information is brought to light. A significant detail that leads them to the “4th man,” and an arrest.
The 4th Man was a quick and straightforward read. I enjoyed the writing style, mostly made up of interrogations, and the quick resolution to the case. 5 stars. (My e-ARC came to me from the publishers via NetGalley).

Looks like a good read with a cold case solved. New evidence helps. Hmm 5 stars means you really enjoyed it.

It was good, Kathryn, but really short. It was more of a story. Thanks for stopping by.

I’m really into these cold cases at the moment and it sounds as though this was a good solid read Laurel.

Thanks, Cleo, but I wouldn’t have minded if it were a bit longer. But at the end of the story were the opening pages of her next book Right Behind You. A nice tease. Thanks for stopping by.

That sounds like a page turner. I could use something like that right about now.
