I truly, truly love this series and each book in it gets better and better!!! Without reservation, I highly recommend adding this book/series to your reading list.
Every time I read another book written by these two sisters I'm amazed at the story they tell... each time I think it can't get better than this one... once again Parrish does it again. A very satisfying read.
I know I'm reading these out of order, but they aren't easy to get my hands on. I was glad I read this one though. It explains where Joe comes from in the other one I read. And it explains more about Louis's aloofness, his loneliness. An excellent series.
3.5 stars. This book from 2005 is set in the Florida Everglades. Private investigator Louis Kincaid wants to date public defender Susan Outlaw. He really likes her 11 year old son Ben. Her ex-husband Austin shows up and Ben goes missing. Louis is determined to find him.
This book is #6 in the Louis Kincaid series. I've been reading these as I located them so I'm out of order. I read #8 but Louis was absent in most of that book so this was my first true introduction to him. Initially, I didn't care for Susan, Austin, or even Louis. He seemed wishy-washy but as the story progressed, I grew to like him. I met Joe Frye in the last book and I appreciated seeing her character get a good start in this one. I like her. If you like a story with human trafficking, you might like this one.
A KILLING RAIN was the first book I read by this duo author. It is the 6th installement in a series. Although I have not read any of the previous books, I was still able to get into the storyline very quickly! It was fast paced- action from beginning to end. I found Louis to be a very likeable character and I look forward to reading more of his story and his previous and next cases to come. Excellent read!!
I've read all of the Louis Kincaid mysteries, but my favourites are the ones featuring Florida locations. Each offers a satisfying and pleasant reading experience.
The Killing Rain by P.J. Parrish is the fifth book in the Detective Louis Kincaid series. Louis Kincaid is starting a relationship with the defense attorney Susan Outlaw and her son Ben. When the ex returns, the father takes his son out for ice cream and does not return. Susan talks Kincaid into helping her find her missing boy.
The search discovers ties with the recently found body in the Florida Everglades, human trafficking, the brutal murder of the ex's partner and their secretary, child abuse, and Satanism. A fast pace and a tight action-filled plot will thrill you. This is a good quick read that is bound to keep you wanting to find out what happens next.
The best of the Louis Kincaid series thus far. The authors have really hit their stride, with this being their sixth book of the series. I'm looking forward to reading more of these Kincaid works.
