Small-Town Secrets Unravel in This Heart-Stopping Police Procedural

There's something haunting about a killer who leaves breadcrumbs, and Chris Patchell's "Find Her" delivers this spine-tingling experience with masterful precision. When a routine robbery call spirals into a labyrinth of horror, you know you're in for a wild ride.

Detective Lacey James isn't just battling criminals in Sweet Home, Oregon – she's fighting to keep her marriage intact. But when a seemingly straightforward case reveals a suspect's car filled with the stuff of nightmares (rope, gloves, zip ties, and a gun), Lacey's personal struggles take a backseat to a much darker reality. The tension ratchets up when the suspect's dramatic suicide leaves behind more questions than answers, and a missing woman's case begins to intertwine with the investigation.

What sets this thriller apart is Patchell's keen understanding of psychological suspense. The author masterfully weaves together the procedural elements of police work with the raw emotional impact of a potential kidnapping. Each discovery feels like another turn of the screw, and the Pacific Northwest setting adds an atmospheric layer that makes the darkness feel that much closer to home.

The character of Lacey James is a refreshing take on the detective protagonist. She's not your typical hardboiled cop – her marriage troubles humanize her without overshadowing her professional capabilities. The way she navigates between personal crisis and professional duty adds depth to what could have been just another police procedural.
