Her Father's Secret by Kate Wiley

 

Her Father's Secret by Kate Wiley - 312 pages


The sun is beginning to set as Margot watches the dive team haul the girl’s body from the lake, untangling the bag that had been used to weight it down among the rocks and the reeds. But it isn’t the cool evening air that chills Margot to the bone as the bag is opened up. It is the glimpse of its contents. The old toys. Margot’s toys.

Detective Margot Phalen has spent years running from her father’s shadow – and the awful truth of her own past as the daughter of a serial killer. But then she receives a message from him. He’s willing to share his darkest secret – but only with her.

>Now, as she sits across from the empty chair waiting for Ed Finch to be led in, Margot closes her eyes and steels herself for what lies ahead. The key to solving one of California’s most infamous missing persons cases is here, in the one place she fears her father’s cell.

But she knows that the deeper she delves into her father’s twisted mind the greater the risk he’ll get under her skin. And retracing the missing girl’s last steps will mean questioning everything she thought she knew about herself and her family's dark history…


I didn't realize that this book is #2 in a series.  I don't feel that I missed anything by not reading the first book; I wasn't confused about anything happening in the book.  Overall I would say this was just "ok".  It seemed to ramble a bit sometimes and I found it hard to really get invested, but I didn't hate the story.
