This is the sixth book in this wonderful series featuring Clay Edison, by father and son duo Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman. For full enjoyment, especially as Clay has a bit of a back story, and cos they are brilliant books, please do start from the beginning and read in order. So... I make no secret of the fact that I absolutely love Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series, but I am also swiftly becoming a Clay Edison groupie too. If you have followed him from the start (and you have, haven't you?!) you'll know that for "reasons" he has now left the County Coroner's Office to set up as a PI. Initially working low stakes cases. Until one day, fellow PI Regina Klein (happy to see her back) calls him with a case she wants him to work with her. The son of wealthy parents, Adam Valois went missing a while back, only to wash up later having apparently hit his head and drowned. The autopsy showed drugs in his system and the police have ruled it an accidental death. But his parents aren't convinced and strongly believe there is more to it... Clay agrees to an initial interview with the parents and then with the sister and girlfriend. He also calls in favours to see the police case file and coroners report... and from these, his spidey senses are triggered, especially when he possibly links the drug cocktail to another case... Long story short and so begins a cracking case for him and Regina to get their teeth into. One that, once the truth is out, will leave many people reeling... I love this series. Clay is a cracking character. Very well balanced and he does his best juggling family life with work. I love his interactions with his kids especially, they're great! He also works well with Regina although they do rub each other up the wrong way on occasion! Chalk and cheese but also brilliant together. And this case is an absolute doozy. Whoa... I never saw that coming, not one bit. But, at the end of the day, it all made total sense. Leaving me, at the end, shocked but also wholly satisfied and champing at the bit for book 7.
