Title: Life in Death
Author: Harlow Drake
Release Date: May 13th 2012
Length: 25,000 words
Sub-Genre: Mystery, Thriller
This is one of those books that I would recommend to everyone, if they ask me for a mystery.
The novel starts with a death and ends with a cemetery. The novel is entirely grazed with deaths of most of the characters. All these deaths are somehow connected to Kari Marchant, a social worker and the protagonist of our novel. Detectives Cobb and Nicolet were in trail. Nicolet and Kari get attracted towards each other, but the business at hand is more serious for them to be distracted. Murders keep happening and Kari somehow happens to be everywhere.
It was an extremely satisfying mystery novel. People are so bad here and they are still in high social status in the society. Some other people are extremely bad and they are in good man's clothes to hide their real ugly faces. Innocent gets hurt and no-one can do anything about it. While we are stunned facing the realities of the world, the author has given a perfect plot that kept me wondering "how the hell did I not see that happening?". The author has delivered one of the best mysteries that I have read this year.
Perfect blend of all elements needed for mystery!

But things between them go terribly wrong when Kari’s old lover is found murdered with a letter from her in his pocket. The evidence against Kari is damning.
