Book: “Ashes to Ashes" Review by: Moonslight Once again, we are thrown into a foray of events that will leave even the most curious standing by the side of the road wondering if it will ever end. This book is one that has another fine array of characters with which to learn about in detail; some of which you would rather not have known at all. This story, unlike the one from last month (A Thin Dark Line) takes place in the middle of Minneapolis, a city of hustle and bustle. We find interaction between Millionaires and non-alike having to get through the trials of each day; each faced with their own share of troubles. We have one person, who seems to bring these differences into view and perspective. The Cremator. Such a horrid and dreadful sounding name isn’t it? Yes, it is. It also is very befitting. From the first gruesome act committed to the more horrible to follow, our main character, and that is his name, bring our minds to a realization that there truly are those out and about who can think with the greatest of ease just how to abuse another person or creature. We find ourselves riveted still, in the wondering and ponderings of the legal factions as they go to work and try to decipher all the horrible details that have been left behind, charred, but still present. Enter Kate Conlan, a former FBI agent, now turned witness/victim advocate. It is to become her job to determine whether or not the newest addition to her household is in reality a victim soon-to-be or rather something even more disturbing yet. She will soon find out just what her role will be that she may very soon become the next in line for the Cremator. All of the events and factions involved soon find our heroine once again entwined with the love of her life, now ex-love, but she will find she still has unresolved issues with him. The events will soon find her looking at what is truly in her heart. From the morbid start to the gruesome finish, you will not be able to put this one down, no matter how faint of heart and mind you may be. This story is well worth over looking what you know could very well be realistic events and happenings to continue reading on and on until the bitter end. I thoroughly enjoyed every page.
