Book Review: Two Nights by Kathy Reichs

Being a fan of the long-running TV series Bones, seeing that Kathy Reichs has a new book was such a big thrill for me. And, she did not disappoint. “Two Nights” is so different from “Bones” but it is as compelling and as endearing though in very different ways.

Meet Sunday Night or Sunnie for short. A cop by profession, she was in medical leave when a cold kidnapping case fell on her lap. Expecting it to be a circumstance of just tying up loose ends, Sunnie found herself in the middle of a very hot case when she started poking at old evidence.

Sunnie was in over her head but she could not stop. There was too much at stake and she was already in too deep. It was either do or die! But, to solve the case, Sunnie has to face her past, a past that she had buried so deep in her psyche that facing it might be the end of her anyway.

An adrenaline-pumping mystery thriller, “Two Nights” also tugs at your heartstrings as you begin to know Sunnie. Tough and talented, there is not a sweet bone in her body. But, that is the reason why you fall in love with her!

A must-read! If you are only going to read one book this summer, it should be “Two Nights.”

A solid 5 stars rating. “Two Nights” is Rated T for Teens due to violence. There are no sex scenes in this book.

Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs steps beyond her classic Temperance Brennan series in a new standalone thriller—featuring a smart, tough, talented heroine whose thirst for justice stems from her own dark past.

Meet Sunday Night, a woman with physical and psychological scars, and a killer instinct. . . .

Sunnie has spent years running from her past, burying secrets and building a life in which she needs no one and feels nothing.

But a girl has gone missing, lost in the chaos of a bomb explosion, and the family needs Sunnie’s help.

Is the girl dead? Did someone take her? If she is out there, why doesn’t she want to be found?

It’s time for Sunnie to face her own demons—because they just might lead her to the truth about what really happened all those years ago.
