How does Ada score books? →

The third Dr. Wren Muller outing sends the forensic pathologist and Leroux chasing a killer as girls vanish across two cities. Urquhart's autopsy-table detail remains her sharpest asset, grounded in real medical fluency. The dual-city structure stretches the pacing thin, and the villain's menace feels recycled from the prior installments. Series loyalists get their fix; newcomers will find the emotional stakes underdeveloped.

Ada Brief

“The morgue scenes crackle with real anatomical knowledge—Urquhart knows her scalpels. The suspense machinery around them is far less certain of itself.”

Rating: 3.8 / 5

Ada’s reservations

The two-city structure dilutes tension and the antagonist repeats earlier books' beats. Franchise readers get served; anyone new will find thin characterization. Solidly midlist, not more.
