When You See Me (Detective D.D. Warren, #11; Gardner Universe, #20)

When You See Me by Lisa Gardner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book.

When a hiker discovers a body on a hiking train in a remote Georgia town Kimberly Quincy heads up the FBI task force and ask DD Warren, Flora Dane and Keith Edgar to come along. The body is believed to be the work of Jacob Ness (the man who kidnapped Flora).

D.D. becomes suspicious of the local B&B owned by the mayor and his wife, when she sees their "maid" a young mute girl they claim is their "niece". Her suspicions are proved to be on point when the mayor's wife is discovered hanging an apparent suicide. While D.D. And Kimberly are investigating the apparent suicide another maid and the cook disappear from under their noses and they take Bonita (the name D.D. gives the young mute girl) into their custody as a witness.

Meanwhile Flora discovers Walt the local recluse is Jacob Ness's Father. He not only leads Flora to the shack Jacob Ness held her in. He warns her that the woods scream at night. While his ramblings seem to be those of a mad man Flora takes a chance that Walt knows what is actually going on.

As more bodies are discovered the hunt is on for Bonita's bad man and the towns people who have aided and abetted him for years.
